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.
