How come airdates for the US are not included?

Just curious. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 14:18, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

"Plot"

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

How come there's no synopsis or plot for the series?

Especially since the Harry Lime character was "cleaned up" (i.e., made "a suave and debonair ladies' man [who, as] head of an import-export company ... traveled around the world acquiring ... art and solving mysteries [with] justice [as Lime's] major concern"^[1]) specifically for TV?

Just curious. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 14:31, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Production

How come no "Production" section?

As part of the production, the above reference states that the series was produced from 1959 to 1962.

If this is correct, why the broadcast delay(s) for nearly three years?

I think a lot more info could be input/included. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 14:36, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

The episodes Proxy Fight and The Members parts 1 & 2 were not shown by the BBC on the dates shown, or indeed at any other time. Did they actually exist?Ambak51 (talk) 16:28, 8 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
