Inherited from one of Thames' two parent companies (ABC TV), Public Eye featured Alfred Burke as a "seedy", down at heel private investigator, called Frank Marker, working out of a dingy little office. In the final 'ABC TV' episode Marker had been arrested and sent to prison for being in possession of stolen jewellery. So to continue the story, the first season to be made by Thames has Marker being released from prison on parole, and making a fresh start in Brighton. For the later seasons Marker moved on to Windsor. |
