Before INSPECTOR MORSE and THE SWEENEY there was REDCAP!
John Thaw takes the first starring role of his career in REDCAP when he plays Sergeant John Mann of the Royal Military Police’s Special Investigation Branch. Made in 1964 at a time when the British army was still highly active, Redcap’s scripts cover investigations in Germany, Aden, Cyprus and Borneo and features guest stars of the calibre of Keith Barron (DUTY FREE), Leonard Rossiter (RISING DAMP), Ian McShane (DEADWOOD, LOVEJOY) and David Burke (Watson in THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES).
Not seen since its original transmission, this set contains the entire first series of thirteen episodes, featuring scripts from Troy Kennedy Martin and Roger Marshall (who both worked extensively on THE SWEENEY) and Leon Griffiths (who created MINDER). This series will appeal to people who enjoy crime, military and mystery shows, fans of the revamped version of REDCAP (with Tamzin Outhwaite), John Thaw series (THE SWEENEY, INSPECTOR MORSE, KAVANAGH QC) and archive television fans.
This set contains the following episodes:
- It’s What Comes After
- A Town Called Love
- Epitaph for a Sweat
- Misfire
- Corporal McCann’s Private War
- The Orderly Officer
- Night Watch
- The Boys of B Company
