Subject: RE: BS: part II Forgotten TV series
From the first part some questioned if Robison Crusoe was French - Robison Crusoe - Daniel Defoe - Alexander Selkirk - all Scots.

The series I'd like to see again was called "Spycatcher", the wartime cases of Major Pinto. Probably can't be repeated as it was shown in the days when not everything was taped and stored. It was a fascinating programme that was set round interviews with people coming into Britain from neutral countries. Pinto would interview them to determine whether their stories were genuine or not - the debrief at the end of each episode used to be terrific.
