Subject: RE: Folk club in 60s-set tv cop series.
Hi Mike
Yours is a fair appraisal of Alan Hunter's George Gently Does it.
Most of his works are very similar in content and I found them OK for very light reading and bedtime reading.
There are a reasonably long range ranging from -:
Gently in The Sun
Gently Down the Stream
Landed Gently etc etc.
The TV series are much better than the books. I usually find this the other way round.
I find them similar in the lack of literary content as the Wycliffe series. Although in this case the TV series is not a lot better than the books. Again good light reading if you like that kind of thing.
Cheers
