Anybody like this series from the late 1970s about cockney private eye James Hazell?
Here's a short clip from the series...

Good call Vienna - I haven't seen this series for years ! One of my favourite Hammer House Of Horror episodes starred Nicholas Ball - The House That Bled To Death. I think this was the first thing he did after Hazell.

I've heard about this series of course, but have never seen it. I'll try to watch an episode sometime. I saw Nicholas Ball once at a memorabilia, autograph signing event in London.

I only started watching it in about 2012, and it's perhaps a bit underrated. There is a lot of amusing dialogue between the main characters. Trevor Preston wrote some of the scripts.
Roddy McMillan, who played dour CID officer 'Choc' Minty in the series, sadly died just a few months after the second series was shown in 1979.
