The read
The series ran 2 seasons across 21 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.
Synopsis

The programme ran between 30 September 1979 and 21 December 1980, in two series with 21 hour-long episodes. Eve opted not to return after two series, as he wanted to diversify into theatre, so the production team changed the setting to Jersey and created Bergerac, also following a detective returning to work after a bad period in his life.
