00:00Hello, I'm William Gaunt and I'd be thrilled if you could join me and my alter ego, Bob Marriott, on
00:08the streets of Victorian London as Sergeant Corp comes to Talking Pictures TV starting on Sunday the 31st of August
00:17at 8pm.
00:18The wonderful John Barry plays the title role, with me as his trusty sidekick, in this landmark crime series first
00:27shown in 1963 and not seen on television for many years.
00:33Created by Ted Willis, also the brains behind Dixon and Doc Green, this was the first series to feature the
00:41work of the Victorian police force.
00:43I'll be introducing each episode and taking you behind the scenes with some personal recollections of the making of the
00:52series.
00:53There'll be pea soupers, dastardly villains and some rather fabulous moustaches.
00:59We'll meet some wonderful guest stars too, including Cicely Courtenidge, John Junkin, Garfield Morgan and Rosalye Crutchley.
01:08I can't wait to relive what was for me a very happy time on a much loved show.
01:15Journey back to 19th century London with me and Sergeant Corp every Sunday at 8pm.
