ITV Drama - Fraud Squad

[Mike Beasey]

Does anyone have information about the drama series Fraud Squad which was produced by ATV over two series between 1969-70, and comprised a total of 26 episodes.

I believe the series was in black and white and starred Patrick O'Connell and Joanna Van Gyseqhem (of Duty Free fame).

Do any episodes of this series remain in the archives?

The listing at Lostshows is interesting: www.lostshows.com/default.aspx?programme=302253b3-3205-42b2-8199-6b7c93450b38

ITN Source will probably do you a bespoke DVD of an episode for around £150

Thanks, that's very useful. I wasn't sure whether the second series was in colour, the lost shows search engine clarifies why there was the confusion; the second series is only retained in the archive as 16mm B/W film prints rather than the original 2" colour VT. If I win the lottery over the weekend perhaps I can treat myself to a few episodes!

I expect Network will get round to releasing it at some point, Mike. I'd like to see it again myself and it's been largely forgotten due to lack of repeats. In the listing I have, I seem to recall that one (or possibly two) episodes still exist on colour tape.

Series 1 is out lets hope S2 will be released soon.

Billy Smart at the MC comments that the Network release networkonair.com/shop/2163-fraud-squad-the-complete-second-series-5027626394349.html shows that one more episode of series two exists in colour,making two (as suggested by Laurence above).If I read the Lostshows entry properly?
