The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin meets Fabian Of The Yard as Scotland Yard Detective Inspector John Bollinger (fading Hollywood actor Louis Hayward) plods “the lonely streets of London” with his trusty German Shepherd, Ivan, by his side.

Editing-room tinkering notwithstanding, the programme – filmed at Associated British Elstree Studios – was deficient in all aspects, and was cancelled after 39 episodes.
