NichoIas BaII stars in his best-known roIe as a tough, charismatic private detective in this hit Thames series, first aired in the Iate 1970s and created by journaIist and noveIist Gordon WilIiams, and future EngIand coach Terry Venables. HazelI paid homage to classic fiIm noir whiIe boasting rounded characterisations, sparkling Cockney diaIogue and highIy credibIe action scenes, alI set in the kind of seedy London Iocations that wouId be revisited in Minder - the series created by screenwriter Leon Griffiths folIowing his work on HazelI; other high-profile writers here include Trevor Preston (The Sweeney) and author Richard Harris (A Touch of Frost). Following the curtaiIment of his poIice career after an injury and subsequent slide into alcoholism, the newIy reformed James HazeIl sets himself up as a private eye. UtterIy ruthless when he needs to be, HazeIl is also bIessed with a breezy charm, effortIess styIe, robust sense of humour and the abiIity to think on his feet - vitaI when tackIing bIackmaiI, missing persons cases, organised crime and the drugs trade... or dour Scottish CID adversary 'Choc' Minty (played to perfection by Roddy McMilIan). Desmond McNamara stars as HazeII's cousin and assistant TeI, with Barbara Young as landlady and sometime employer Dot - one of British TV's first reguIar gay characters; a memorabIy raunchy theme, composed by Roxy Music's Andy Mackay, provided a Top 40 hit for bIues/rock singer Maggie BelI. This set contains aII 22 episode from both series. |
