A well-remembered police procedural drama from the late 1960s, this show showcased the exploits of Detective Inspector Gamble (Patrick O'Connell) and his aide, Detective Sergeant Vicky Hicks (Joanna Van Gyseghem), Metropolitan officers on the trail of the con-men and fraudsters who operate at all levels of society, from boardroom to bingo hall. This show was notable for being one of the earliest British television dramas to feature a female detective in a leading role, while several storylines focused on Gamble's tangled personal life, which occasionally threatens his efforts to hunt down the sharks (and sometimes the minnows) inhabiting the murky world of international fraud. This first series featured guest appearances by Sir Michael Gambon, Paul Eddington, Martin Shaw, Andrew Sachs, Derek Fowlds and Colin Welland, amongst many others. imdb.com
