Colonel March of Scotland Yard

Colonel March of Scotland Yard is a 1950s British television series based on
author John Dickson Carr's (aka Carter Dickson) fictional detective Colonel March
from his book The Department of Queer Complaints (1940). Carr was a mystery
author who specialized in locked-room whodunits and other 'impossible' crimes:
murder mysteries that seemed to defy possibility. The stories of the television
series followed in the same vein with Detective March solving cases that baffle
Scotland Yard and the British police.

The series was made at Southall Studios in Middlesex, England and was produced
by Fountain Films for ITV. The series premiered in 1955 with a total of 26 episodes.
The show starred Boris Karloff as the urbane, eye-patched sleuth (no reason was
ever given for the loss of his eye). Other regulars included Ewan Roberts as
Inspector Ames of Scotland Yard and Eric Pohlmann as Inspector Goron of the
Paris Sûreté. It was believed only twelve episodes of the series still existed as
35mm black and white prints, the rest having been destroyed.

We have 25 episodes from Film, still looking for "Death in Inner Space"
For a few of these episodes, the picture and sound isn't perfect but they are
definitely viewable and enjoyable.
