Barry Foster made his debut as Piet Van der Valk on 13/09/1972. Back then, he was perhaps best known as Robert Rusk, the chirpy Covent Garden Tie Murderer, in Alfred Hitchcock's great thriller, Frenzy. Ten novels by Nicholas Freeling inspired the series, revealing the daily police procedures of an Amsterdam detective.
