I was 8 in 1968 and so too young for most of the ITC series. The Champions and Randall and Hopkirk were often repeated and I liked them and still do. Man In A Suitcase and The Baron were repeated and I quite liked them but The Baron is a bit bland. We know and love The Saint.

I had seen Department S but did not like it much. I recently watched the whole of Department S and I have to say that I don't like it much. The Jason King character just annoys me,I like the other 2 characters and the idea of the thing is good.

But the scripts are nearly all awful. There are 3 or 4 episodes with brainwashing and several episodes set in planes and 2 set in warehouses. Was there an ideas shortage in the late 1960s?

I recall working with someone in the early 1980s who used to say how much he loved this show,he liked all the pretty girls.
