    13 x 50 minute episodes

    This BBC2 drama series featured the adventures of Daniel Pike (Roddy McMillan), a low-paid but tough and fearless private detective based in Glasgow who looked and talked like a navvy.

    Pike would investigate cases ranging from drug dealing to kidnap to murder with a little debt-collecting on the side for good measure. In the final episode, Four Walls, Pike was asked to help four bank-robbers escape Glasgow – because one of them was his ex-wife!

    The gritty series was devised by Edward Boyd.
