Quotes
[US introduction sequence for "Gideon C.I.D."]
Commander George Gideon: This is my city: London. Eight hundred square miles - vast, sprawling, restless. Over eight million people live and work, love and play, hate and die. On the fringe, hidden in the shadows: those who prey on the innocent. Steal, destroy, attack and kill. When they do, it's a job for me, and the Criminal Investigation Department.

a style and individuality all of its own

Long forgotten police drama series featuring the cases and adventures of honest family man copper Inspector Gideon.All the hallmarks of its production company are there,such as easily digestible stories that had an international appeal and production values that were head and shoulders above the well remembered police series of that day such as 'Z Cars' and 'Dixon Of Dock Green'. Shot entirely on film it was possibly one of the first British police series to escape the studio and use extensive location filming. TV stations have prejudice against shows made in black and white so consequently this has probably not been on TV since its first or second showing?
