OT 70's TV Show
Just had the theme song of a 70's tv
cop series running through my head. The voice of Tony Christie. 'In the avenues and alley ways, where the soul of a man is easy to buy. Chorus.. can we ever stop 'em? Some of us are gonna try.. What was the name of the tv series? and who was the star? Arthur |

Chorus.. can we ever stop 'em? Some of us are gonna try.. What was the name of the tv series? and who was the star? Arthur The Protectors from waaaay back in 1972, staring Robert Vaughn as Harry Rule, Nyree Dawn Porter as some Italian bint and someone rather forgetable as Paul (some French sounding name). Interestingly enough, it was a Gerry Anderson production, the Gerry Anderson of Thunderbirds fame. Seem to remember it as being pretty naff though, apart from the theme song. Cheers Clive |

Arthur The Protectors used this as their theme. I have the best of Tony Christie CD here, and it says it on the literature booklet inside. :-) |

Arthur The Pretenders ? Posh British woman with hyphenated name and some Italian-looking guy. Tony ? Ronert Vaughn also appeared quite regularly I think. And a sillouette of somebody you never saw. |

Paul Buchet. Actually, not that forgettable - Tony Anholt, who was less forgettable in that UNforgettable series - Howard's Way! (he was Charles Frere). Interestingly enough, it was a Gerry Anderson production, the Gerry Anderson of Thunderbirds fame. Sylvia Anderson was one of the writers. A hell of a lot of "names" guested in it. |

Arthur Me and my boyhood buddy used to babysit for neighbours and on saturday or friday evening there was a tv serial set in ye olde England..you know heaving busoms and such. The stories were always or seemed to be to my unknowledgable noggin, bawdy farces where some old rogue has his salacious way with a comely maiden. The acting was generally of the Robert Newton style; I seem to remember. My! how we guffawed! Anyone remember the title? Arthur |
