190 Chinese Puzzle
First watched : 13 November 1974
Although not written by the same person and much shorter and less ambitious this kids adventure serial was very much in the same mould as The Long Chase. Two teenagers stumble across a smuggling plot at an old airfield led by a sinister Chinese figure The Master. I can't remember too much about it except that The Master turned out to be the respectable Wing Commander played by William Fox wearing a Chinese mask and he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder as he was getting onto the plane in the final frame. I don't think that spoiler really matters as the series hasn't been repeated since it was the Sunday tea time serial in 1975 and there's been no VHS or DVD release . Nor, as you can see, are there any stills knocking about on the net.
It was written by versatile scriptwriter Brian Finch and shown in six parts. I remember it being quite enjoyable.
