This was a once considered "lost" episode recently recovered and shown on the
invaluable UK Talking Pictures channel. While I clearly remember the rousing theme tune from my much younger days, the actual episodes much less so. This was originally televised in 1965 by Rediffusion using the then common combination of brief external location filming interspersed with the lengthier studio set-pieces on VT. However, at that time this method of making entertainment drama in Britain was being revolutionised by Lew Grade's ATV, so even in 1965 the programme may have looked old-fashioned.
'No Hiding Place' was now in its 6th year, so I presume the story format, and the relationship between main characters and guest stars was fully established. Certainly, I thought this episode was professionally produced and watchable, although the storyline was very familiar. It was nice to see Raymond Francis and Johnny Briggs in the main roles, try watching this after viewing an episode of 'The Sweeney', and see how just a 10 year time gap completely changed attitudes and approach to TV detectives, their own interractions, and the villains they pursue.
