    8/10
    Thoroughly enjoyable Victorian set crime series.
    John Barrie stars as Sergeant Cork in this wonderful crime drama series from the 1960's. I can't help but wonder if this was one of the shows that laid the foundations for shows we would all know and love, shows like Z Cars, The Bill etc.

    There is a real quality to this series, it has an air of grandeur about it, Cork really does mix with the affluent Society, as well as the less fortunate.

    It's the great variety that makes it so watchable, one episode you'll watch a murder mystery, the next could be a fraud, followed by a grand theft. Personally I like the mysteries best, but then I am a whodunnit addict.

    Barrie and Gaunt are both wonderful, you'll see several well known faced pop up throughout the run.

    The episodes do change as the show progresses, I like the somewhat more raw earlier episodes, it does become a little more slick, a bit sharper with time.

    It seems one of those shows that has been easily forgotten, nobody seems to know about it, I found it just by chance, but I'm so glad I did.

    Really enjoyed it, 8/10.
