Adam Adamant Lives!

In producer Verity Lambert's next venture after Doctor Who, Gerald Harper starred as the Edwardian gentleman adventurer let loose in Swinging Sixties London. In 1902 he was trapped in a block of ice by his arch enemy, The Face, and defrosted 64 years later by workmen demolishing the villain's house. The charm of this series derives from Adamant's disorientation in a society more permissive than his own, and his Edwardian approach to solving crimes. 29 episodes were made, in two series; episode one, A Vintage Year For Scoundrels, was repeated on BBC2's One Day In The Sixties in 1991.
