Canadian Mountie Mike Maguire is seconded to Scotland Yard, to assist various British cops with cracking all manner of crimes, from thefts to murders.
Definitely a series that's worth your time, I'm assuming it was produced to be sold to markets outside of The UK, Beatty would have been quite a big deal.
Robert Beatty is wonderfully charismatic as Mike Maguire, and you have to hand it to him, he certainly elevates many of the episodes.
Maguire certainly gets about, I don't think there's a single department he didn't work in. On many occasions he seems to stand on the spot, explaining the plot, rather loudly.
Surely it's dated now, but it's such an interesting look back, and I don't just mean the crimes, seeing London and various locations back in the 1950's is absolutely fascinating, so many well known locations to spot.
Plenty of punch ups, some look great, some look like amateur dramatics.
Radioactive and The Night Watchman were both particularly interesting episodes, both had very imaginative plots, some of the others are a little more pedestrian to say the lease.
Such a shame that Network has gone out of business, so many of their releases are becoming impossible to source.
7/10.
