(1966) Elizabeth Shepherd, John Sharp, Gary Cockrell, Alan Curtis, William Maxwell. This is a two-disc set of the short-lived Brit TV series, a total of four episodes. Shepard plays an international villainess who continually thwarts the efforts of a heavy-set inspector and his two assistants (named Blood and Hound). These episodes are filled with espionage, intrigue, and a whole lot of off-beat humor. They’re very unique in their own way and perhaps the Brits just weren’t ready for them back in 1966. Comparisons are ripe between The Corridor People and The Avengers.
