Department S

Department S was another of the jewels in ITC’s crown. The investigative drama catapulted Peter Wyngarde from local success to global phenomenon.

Created in 1968 by the team behind other ATV funded drama, The Champions – Monty Berman and Dennis Spooner. Department S catapulted Peter Wyngarde from local success to global phenomenon. In each episode the team solved the most convoluted and perplexing of cases with charm and humour.

Never before released in its entirety in the UK, this box set contains all 28 episodes.

Storyline

Handling cases that are too baffling to be solved by normal police routine is all in a day’s work for Department S – a shadowy Interpol department that specialises in the inexplicable and the illogical. Its small core of operatives include flamboyant novelist Jason King (Peter Wyngarde), who uses his overactive imagination and droll wit to help solve the most difficult of cases, Stewart Sullivan (Joel Fabiani), a man of action who’s not afraid to get his hands dirty, and Annabelle Hurst (Rosemary Nicols) as the gorgeous computer expert with an eye for detail.

Special Features

An exclusive new documentary from Network DVD on the making of Department S, narrated by Peter Bowles and featuring contributions from, amongst others, Joel Fabiani, Rosemary Nicols and Cyril Frankel. Selected episodes contain commentary from those involved with the show.

The DVD release also contains extensive ATV image galleries – including many behind the scenes and coverage of the inaugural press party – accompanied by a suite of incidental music from the series. Various items from the film library; including an extended international version of an episode and break bumpers.
