      Made by Southern TV in Southampton - the company had spent a fortune in kitting out a boat as an Outside Broadcast Unit, believed to be the first time it had been done in the U.K. There was an idea in addition to covering Cowes Week, they could press it into service for other programming - and Freewheelers was seen as a great opportunity (which explained the many 'boat chase' scenes in multiple episodes.

    A competent spy/adventure series for children.
    The freewheelers were a group of three young (late teens/early twenties) agents who worked for British Intelligence. Their boss was the eye-patch wearing Colonel Buchan, who assigned them onto various adventures around Britain. Each adventure story would last several weeks, and at the end of each episode one of the team would find themselves in some terrible danger, only to be promptly rescued (Dick Barton style) at the beginning of the next episode. The series was aimed at 9 - 13 year old's, and was very popular in that age group at the time.
