I remember really liking this show as a kid. (I was only about 15) I hope sometime it is rerun on some obscure network. I remember the production company was British and had a cool musical tag fanfare. It was three letters and I've seen it in later productions. (IBC, or something... nope, it wasn't root beer)
A cool early 70's show.
