PUBLIC EYE

Charismatic Alfred Burke played enquiry agent and loner Frank Marker in this long-running British television series that ran from 1965 to 1975. Running for 7 series, 'Public Eye' was created by Roger Marshall and Anthony Marriott, and, thanks to the unglamorous Marker, was an antidote to the cool and slick shows of the 1960s. The series was produced by ABC, then Thames.

A humorous ABC trailer summed things up: "Marker isn't a glamorous detective and he doesn't get glamorous cases - he doesn't even get glamorous girls! What he does get is people who are in trouble - the sort of trouble you can't go to the police about, even if you are innocent."
