Bravo channel showing of "Saber of London" tv show...Big Ben!! PT.1

Vintage b/w crime drama from the 1950's...Tally Ho!!

[@arrivalofdoom7449]

SO GLAD this is being remastered by Network this year. The whole feel of this is so vintage and glorious and looking forward to seeing as many of these as I can

[@thekookstersvault9815]

That's great news!

[@fisherpeter695]

I recall watching this series in the early 1960s on my parents old Black and White 16 inch TV it always came on around 9pm on a Thursday night. At the same time we also had Edgar Lustgarden investigates, he opened the programme explaining the plot. He was a famous criminologist and would sum up at the end of each programme. With the old Sherlock Holmes, Basil Rathbone series on as well it showed criminals were more devious, rather than the overplay of violence that came decades later. The 1960s and 70s really were simpler times to live through.

[@thekookstersvault9815]

WOW, thanks for the great vintage memories!!

Absolutely Love These Old Crime Dramas

[@Brutus-co9dt]

Especially British crime dramas.

[@danpingsong5553]

Gray lost his left arm by a German tank shell in World War II, which led him being cast as Mark Sabre in the show of the same name, purely becuase the producers liked the originality of a one-armed detective.

Big Ben is the name of the Bell not the clock tower.

[@davidhull7115]

First time I ever heard of this show. The title of the episode wasn't given until the end, The Hour of Reckoning. Episode 13 of season six. Must've been a popular show, there were 221 episodes. Unsurprisingly, the actor who played Kasley died of a heart attack at age 49.

He did not say "maybe", he said that after stopping at the police station, they would go to the hospital.

This show is "Hour of Reckoning." It is not "Big Ben Part 1. It wasn't one of the better episodes.

Exactly! The deal was that the kid wouldn't need to forfeit his life unless he failed to pay back the money within 30 days, and we weren't told if that time period had passed, whether the kid could borrow some money to repay the debt, or what. Sloppy writing, if you ask me.
