By this late point in the series, the focus was being shifted far too often from its title character in order to set up unrelated tv shows (I counted three: 'Point of Entry', 'The Weapons Man' and 'Kincaid'). This has all the hallmarks of a fourth such pilot, based around James Coburn's passionate medic, except that Stoney is for once at the heart of the story.
Set during the lead-up to the National Finals, it also features Casey Tibbs snatching the Golden Buckle from an absent and incapacitated Stoney, rather a sour note for the penultimate episode.
