Colonel March of Scotland Yard

1 9 5 5 – 1 9 5 6 (UK)
26 x 25 minute episodes

Boris Karloff played one-eyed detective Colonel March, who operated out of “D-3” – Scotland Yard’s department for “unsolvable” cases.

March’s investigations invariably brought him into contact with the unnatural, the supernatural, and the seemingly impossible in such cases as The Abominable Snowman, The Sorcerer, The Invisible Knife and The Second Mona Lisa.

The series was based on a collection of short stories by Carter Dickson (John Dickson Carr) which were first published in 1940 under the title The Department of Queer Complaints.

Three episodes were edited together to make a feature film, Colonel March Investigates (1953).
