143 The Terracotta Horse

First  watched  : November  1973

My  memories  of  this  six-part  serial  on  a  Monday are  very  vague  and  there  isn't  much  on  the  net  to  jog  them. It  was  something  of  a  cross  between  The  Long  Chase  and  The  Da  Vinci  Code.  A  young  girl  found  the  titular  horse  and  it  was  somehow  linked  to  the  Holy  Grail  with  a  villain  in  a  Citroen  joining  the  chase.

The  girl  was  played  by  Lindy  Howard  and  it  appears  to  have  been  her  only  acting  job on  screen. Her  brother  was  played  by  a  young  Patrick  Murray  ( Mickey  Pearce  in  Only  Fools  and  Horses ) .

It  was  never  repeated  and  must  be  presumed  wiped  long  ago.
