Dempsey And Makepeace S03E06 - Bird Of Prey

[@reprise6538]

Lyman should be the coolest villain of TV history imo. He's calm but harsh, cold blooded, ultimately ruthless and of course a serious rascal with his stylish feather in his hair. He's definately a cool portraid to me

[@christopherdale7017]

The other cool TV Villains been Calderon and Legba in Miami Vice.

Masterpiece of a series

[@דניאלט]

Lyman . best villain ever !

[@MajorT0m]

Yeah he's awesome 😂

[@barneygilewitz1064]

He played Little John in a Robin Hood movie with Kevin Costner a few years later.

I'm glad Lyman still had his spaghetti western theme music.

[@HarryRotter]

If you've ever been Rick rolled, then you've definitely seen the actor Clive Clarke before, that played Rickie Rude. No pun intended.

One of the best episodes from Season Three. I recorded this off LWT in 1986 and it looked exactly the same. The Rank colour film was pretty washed out as new although it's annoying Network didn't clean it up as they did The Professionals - certainly my 35 year old Hi-fi VHS looks cleaner without all the scratches and jumps . Nick Brimble was underrated at this time. He was Keelhaul in John Silver's Return to Treasure Island in the same year and in Robin Of Sherwood's Swords of Wayland in 1985 before he hit the big time with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves in 1991. His nonchalant Bristolian don't give a monkeys attitude is what makes Lyman such a good character. Alan 'Guitar' Parker had a field day with these episodes playing all the various motifs : rock guitar , western 12 string etc etc. As usual Barry Morgan overuses the Simmons kit and the Linndrum but that is D & M's signature sound.

Lyman looks like a horror movie villain

[@djlollyreal]

[@jozkomrkvicka7607]

[@lmc4964]

I wish I has twangy guitar music follow me around

[@christopherdale7017]

Same I like the episodes with Lyman in them he is one cool bad guy that knows how to handle himself.

[@azentioced9]

Great!!

[@eddiebrock8556]

dampsey and laimon.... like spider man and venom :)

[@gunnerjohnson5445]

Quite funny!

[@TheGlassman63]

All very far fetched, but great fun all the same.

[@BoraBoraSharkBoy]

The guy with classes is such a bad actor 🙄

[@MajorT0m]

He's hilariously bad isnt he!

[@AirwolfArchive]

Think he’s supposed to be. He’s hamming it up, playing the psycho, unhinged nutcase. Can’t say he didn’t give it his all. Wasn’t exactly wooden.
