[StatesEdgeFilms]

@wwahc1964 Hero? Ohhh... (blushes) really? Surely that should involve ladders, crumbling walls and a fireman's lift? Still, I'll take the thanks and agree with you re: Miss Black, certainly easy on the eye, isn't she?

Wow - Any man who can track clips down with Isobel Black in them has my respect and gratitude!!!!!

[StatesEdgeFilms]

@padgenator R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me... A great deal, actually. Thanks, Mate, I commend you on your impeccable taste.

@bunnyleah Well done, when I was about 9 years old in 1972, late night tv shows ( before midnight !) were something to look forward to either during holidays or weekends because, pre- video, you did not want to miss them. These were repeats THEN when I saw them, but I used to be fascinated by such shows, and I used to sneak Friday afternoon off from the Junior school around that time at my Gran's, idling after lunch, and staying there to watch repeats of 'Danger Man' at 2:25 on ITV !!

@statesedgefilms. Do you have many of the 'Scales of justice' series made at Merton park studios? The last episode in the series made in 1967 was called 'Payment in kind' and was partly filmed at my fathers jewellers shop in Raynes park. It was shown on tv a long while ago. Great to see these clips. Thanks for the upload.

This series and the magnificent theme music has haunted me since first seeing them in the cinema in the early 60's. Is there any way I can obtain them on DVD ( 13 episodes I believe). Network have recently released the even more magnificent Private Eye series, but what about this series? Thanks friend for sharing.
