Zodiac

1974 · 1 season

A quirky, talky detective show where banter and astrological theorising carry more weight than action, leaving a wry, slightly dated charm.

Overview: Zodiac was a six-part series transmitted by ITV in 1974. Starring Anton Rogers and Anouska Hempel as cynical detective David Gradley and his astrologer associate Esther Jones, the unusual astrological premise set this show apart from the humdrum detective dramas of the time. Little seen since its original broadcast, the series has garnered something of a cult status.
