Public Eye (1965)
Outstanding television drama
28 September 2006 - 23 out of 23 users found this review helpful.
These series in my opinion are British television at its very finest, centred around a marvellous sustained performance by Alfred Burke which stands comparison with anything to be seen anywhere in film, TV or theatre; and scripts of high intelligence, firmly grounded in the downbeat experiences of everyday English life, yet psychologically profound.
The support acting rises to the occasion too, in all the episodes I have seen - Pauline Delaney's performance in Series 4 for example.
By all accounts the show was widely popular when originally broadcast, and it is a mystery to this viewer why repeat broadcasts are so very seldom seen.
