Hunters Walk(1973)

Hunters Walk Synopsis

Hunters Walk – devised by Dixon of Dock Green creator Ted Willis – was about crime on a smaller – but no less dramatic – scale, and featured a police force in the fictional Midlands town of Broadstone (the series was actually filmed in Rushden, Northants). Sharing several similarities with the classic 1950s police drama, in particular a small-town settingband storylines encompassing the more human aspects of police work, Hunters Walk offered a contrasting alternative to the 1970s more hard-hitting, action-led urban crime dramas. The small, idiosyncratic team of officers faced a typically broad spectrum of cases, from neighbours’ disputes and hooliganism to suspected murder.

Hunters Walk (1973) is a crime and drama series that premiered on June 4, 1973, spanning 3 seasons and 39 episodes. It stars Ewan Hooper, Davyd Harries, Duncan Preston and Charles Rea.
