820 Floodtide
First viewed : 14 June 1987
This was a tasty Sunday night serial featuring Philip Sayer as Ramsey, a dogged doctor pursuing a group of ruthless cocaine smugglers across Europe after the death of a Cabinet minister. He is aided by the man's daughter Tessa played by the gorgeous French actress ( now a film director ) Gaby Dellal. I remember at one point she is kidnapped and deliberately injected with heroin and he has to take her camping to get her clean. It was gritty and brutal; I seem to recall Tom Chadbon's character getting fitted up for the murder of his boyfriend who gets his knob cut off as part of the set-up.
For some reason I don't think I saw the second season in 1988. There would have been more were it not for Sayer's untimely death in 1989.
