Ian Hendry. I remember a TV show he starred in called The Lotus Eaters, based on a book written by Michael J. Bird. Back in 1972.

I was really engrossed by that series and something happened so that I never saw the last episode. This was before the prevalence of home video recorders. For many years I never found out what happened at the end. It was a real cliffhanger for me until I started surfing the 'net and every now and then I would search for the show. It wasn't available to buy as far as I could see, and neither was the book. I even looked for it when I started working as a librarian.

Finally I found someone on the 'net who referred to the series and I contacted him. Because there were no copies of the video available he very kindly sent me a copy and I finally saw the last episode. That might have been 20 years after I originally saw the TV show.

I read some of Michael J. Bird's other books when I worked at the library. I liked them too.
