Spender today would be a black lesbian women in an electic car, and a gay white sidekick. with a boss who is an Indian women and the badie would be a Indian male. Obviously not Mohamed, Abdul, or Yousef but Raj or Hardeep or Irvine. A BBC production !
www.spj-dvds.co.uk/shop/dvd-sets/spender/ if these copies are anything like what l bought extremely good picture and sound quality recorded from video taped recordings of original broadcasts. Best that is available at the moment.
I remember this. At school, one lad in my class said he was one hard dude and his antics were much better than Inspector Morse's *lol*, although I don't mind the odd Morse.
Makes perfect sense to you'd think...especially with all of these new police detective shows sprouting up recently. Spender would definitely be well received if reshown on tele or put on Britbox....just would need a bit of remastering of the original tapes, wouldn't be too difficult surely.
Fantastic atmospheric series , crying shame it has been so overlooked for decades, one of me all time faves....
Saw it on bbc1 in 1990 brilliant tv show

Best tv show of the 1990s......end of....
Brilliant! Ah the 90s and great tele
Cracking theme tune. Urgent, tense and tough.
Jimmy was so popular in the early 90's. Acting and singing and on chat shows.

Y IS THIS NOT OUT ON DVD SOOOOOOOOO GOOD
Why's this series never repeated or released on DVD..😠😠😠😠
The proofs had been damaged or lost maybe. Wasn't there a fire in the BBC at one time? Early 2000 late 90's.

I remember it being repeated on the drama channel about seven years ago but haven’t seen it since
They should bring Spender back again.....
Apart from the Sweeney this is my favourite ever TV show.
