THE BARON IS ACE

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the best action/adventure television series of the 1960's. I have got the DVD box set. At the moment being January 2024, I watching this television series for a second time on DVD. I first watched this series in its complete form on DVD in January 2020. Back then I watched the whole box set within six days.

The plots used in the episodes are good. They well written and the writers have created some good characters. One of the them being The Baron's assistant Cordelia Winfield.

Each episode is well directed and well acted.

It is good to have a television series of the 1960's to be made in colour, instead of black and white. I think it was one of the most glamorous television programmes ever made.

The producer was Monty Berman, who also produced The Saint. He created The Champions, Department S, Jason King and The Adventurer.

The Baron was based on a series of books written by John Creasey. Thanks to the repeats on ITV in the mid 1980's, and with the encouragement of my grandmother Dora, I became a dedicated reader of Mr Creasey's crime novels.

I would recommend this television series, and read the novels by John Creasey.
