The Playboy of the Western World [DVD] [1962]

As produced by the BBC beginning in 2007, the British mystery series George Gently stars Martin Shaw (Judge John Deed) as the title character, a slightly cantankerous, widowed London detective solving cases in mid-1960s Northumberland, England - against the backdrop of the first hints of social change. An iron-willed character who relies on his wits and seldom questions his own judgment, Gently scarcely needs assist, but nevertheless gets partnered up with John Bacchus (Lee Ingleby), a caustic young police sergeant. This box set presents Series One of Gently in its entirety, with all three of the season's episodes presented full and complete as they originally aired. These include: Gently Go Man, The Burning Man and Bomber's Moon.
