"Public Eye" was originally an ABC TV production
(1965-68) and then (after ABC lost its UK franchise) a Thames Television
production from 1969 until 1975.that lasted for 7 series over the period
1965-75.
The series revolved around the investigations of a loner
private detective, Frank Marker (played by Alfred Burke), a character that
investigated his crimes, flitting from the edges of the criminal underworld. His
offices moved from London, to Birmingham, to Brighton and eventually to Windsor.
Poor old frank was even wrongly imprisoned at the end of the final series
produced by ABC, only to be lovingly freed by Thames television in 1969 for the
4th season.
Henry starred in this one episode playing the part of "Madely".
Other actors in this episode
- Philip Latham .... Maxwell (who played Plantagenet
Palliser opposite the lovely Susan Hampshire in "The Pallisers")
- Garfield Morgan .... Brown (who went on to play
Haskins in "The Sweeny")
