Just had the theme song of a 70's tv cop series running through my head.
The voice of Tony Christie.
'In the avenues and alley ways, where the soul of a man is easy to buy. Chorus.. can we ever stop 'em? Some of us are gonna try..
What was the name of the tv series? and who was the star?
Arthur
The Protectors from waaaay back in 1972, staring Robert Vaughn as Harry Rule, Nyree Dawn Porter as some Italian bint and someone rather forgetable as Paul (some French sounding name). Interestingly enough, it was a Gerry Anderson production, the Gerry Anderson of Thunderbirds fame. Seem to remember it as being pretty naff though, apart from the theme song.
Cheers Clive
The Protectors.
Robert Vaughan, Nyree Dawn Porter, Tony Anholt
Sound about right?
The Protectors used this as their theme. I have the best of Tony Christie CD here, and it says it on the literature booklet inside. :-)
The Pretenders ?
Posh British woman with hyphenated name and some Italian-looking guy. Tony ? Ronert Vaughn also appeared quite regularly I think.
And a sillouette of somebody you never saw.
Nope - Protectors as everybody else has now pointed out.
The Protectors, Robert Vaughn, Nyree Dawn Porter and Tony Anholt?

Only a few miles out - she was from New Zealand.
The Contessa di Contini ... had that name running through my head today as I'd just read about some Contessa in a book...
Paul Buchet. Actually, not that forgettable - Tony Anholt, who was less forgettable in that UNforgettable series - Howard's Way! (he was Charles Frere).
Interestingly enough, it
Sylvia Anderson was one of the writers.
A hell of a lot of "names" guested in it.
Tune here:
If anyone mentions Bobby Bennet and Glynn Poole of Junior Showtime infamy, they are going to DIE!

You buy those sorts of CDs? My, oh, my!

Me and my boyhood buddy used to babysit for neighbours and on saturday or friday evening there was a tv serial set in ye olde England..you know heaving busoms and such. The stories were always or seemed to be to my unknowledgable noggin, bawdy farces where some old rogue has his salacious way with a comely maiden. The acting was generally of the Robert Newton style; I seem to remember.
My! how we guffawed!
Anyone remember the title?
Arthur
Still a British colony back then :-)
Valiant Varnies ?
I think it just came to me.
"Rogue's Gallery"..maybe?
Arthur
Who was in it ?
I don't remember, although I probably never looked at anything above heaving bosom level. :)
