This is David Lander (1)

Paul Mayhew- Archer, script editor on Spitting Image was drafted in to produce this classic series for newly formed Hat Trick Productions. Stephen Fry played reporter David Lander, a Roger Cook type investigator who ran after villians on behalf of consumers who'd been ripped off. An underrated series, with a glorious script by Tony Sarchet. Two years later the series returned with Tony Slattery in the main role, this time in "This Is David Harper".
