1007 Moon and Son
First viewed : January 1992
This was writer Robert Banks Stewart's follow up to Bergerac which ended the year before. It was much lighter in tone about a psychic duo who shuttled between the UK snd France both helping and hindering the local police forces. Much of the publicity focused on the return to British TV of singer-comedienne Millicent Martin as Mrs Moon. Martin made her name as the singer on sixties satire show That Was The Week That Was but hadn't been seen since the early seventies after subsequent vehicles failed to make the same impression and had been living in the U.S. since 1978. I had a brief dip into the series but didn't like it and it seems I wasn't alone as plans for a second series were quietly dropped. Banks Stewart wouldn't have another show on TV for nearly a decade.
