Production

As the producers hoped for broadcast in the United States, Dillman and Graves's characters were American. [1] The series ran for one 26-episode season, with each episode being 60 minutes. The series was shown on ABC in the United States and ITV in the UK. It won the 1966 British Society of Film and Television (later known as BAFTA) TV award for Best Dramatic Series.

The series had its genesis in a two-part episode of NBC's Kraft Suspense Theatre (also starring Peter Graves and Bradford Dillman), "The Case Against Paul Ryker" [10–17 October 1963], which was later re-edited into a 1968 theatrical feature, Sergeant Ryker .

Directors of individual episodes included Sam Wanamaker and British TV stalwart Peter Graham Scott.
