Fraud Squad

1969–1970 · 2 seasons

A dry, talky procedural where the pleasure is in watching dogged investigators unpick paperwork and outwit slippery con artists.

Genres
Drama, Crime
Overview
Crime drama series detailing the cases of Detective Inspector Gamble and Detective Sergeant Vicky Hicks working for the Fraud Squad in the Midlands. Gamble is very much his own man, all too often doing things his own way, much to the frustration of his boss Superintendent Proud. Gamble’s sidekick Vicky is often little more than a glorified secretary for too much of the time but as the series goes on she does more of a chance to shine.
