Dick Turpin is a British television drama series starring Richard O'Sullivan and Michael Deeks. It was created by Richard Carpenter, Paul Knight and Sydney Cole and written by Richard Carpenter, John Kane, Charles Crichton and Paul Wheeler. It was made by Gatetarn, Seacastle productions in-association with London Weekend Television between 1979 and 1982. 26 half-hour episodes and one feature-length episode were filmed on location at Maidenhead in Berkshire, England.
There were two series, both of 13 episodes, made by Gatetarn, Seacastle productions for LWT and a feature-length episode made in-association with RKO pictures in the US called Dick Turpin's Greatest Adventure, which was shown in US cinemas. In the UK, Series one was screened as thirteen episodes in 1979, the first seven episodes of series two were shown in 1980, a five-part version of Dick Turpin's Greatest Adventure was shown in 1981, and the remaining six episodes of series two were finally shown in 1982, making four series on transmission.
The stories are set after the real Dick Turpin was supposed to have been hanged, so there's no direct connection to the historical facts connected to the real person.
Tonight we'll be watching the first three episodes, Swiftnick, The Capture and The Champion. There are lots of familiar faces in the episodes, but for a further RoS link The Capture features Annabelle Lee (as well as Lesley Dunlop from Smuggler).
