- Ex-policeman Bill Galbraith is caught up in mystery and murder in these two gripping, fast-paced detective dramas.
After a long career in the Flying Squad, veteran copper Bill Galbraith is hanging up his truncheon and saying goodbye to the police force. He's looking forward to a quiet life on civvy street - but his best friend, private investigator Tommy Evans, has other ideas....
In The King of Diamonds, Galbraith is enjoying a peaceful retirement in the countryside when Tommy calls him up with a job offer. Adamant that he's done with detection, Bill refuses, but Evans persists - and soon, Galbraith is embroiled in murky goings-on involving a beautiful blonde, a missing diamond courier and a criminal mastermind.
The Midas Touch sees Bill accosted once again by his old PI pal, who shows him a mysterious photograph of a party on a lawn, with circles drawn round the heads of three people. The photo was part of a parcel addressed to a retired criminal lawyer, which also contained bearer bonds, a list of jewellery worth £750,000 and a letter threatening the life of a man named Paul Carson. The crime the package tells of has yet to be discovered - can Galbraith root it out?
Created by the award-winning writer of Z Cars and Softly Softly, Robert Barr, these two suspenseful full-cast dramas star Bernard Hepton as the reluctant investigator, with Richard Davies as Tommy Evans.

Well, am puzzled. Have just thoroughly enjoyed two in this series with not a single, solitary ad. There is forceful music after each chapter, but these versions are brilliant. THANK YOU.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
Can't stand the adverts going to have to abandon this.
It Is pure greed…. When a decent program is interrupted so many times, especially when there are program intervals where ads could be appropriately put in!
Heard this before and it's still a good story.
Bernard Hepton ...Is this the same Toby Esterhayze of TTSS? By George! My favorite character! Excellent actor!
Yes it is.
And he was my favorite character from my favorite episode of Midsummer Murders . The one with the amateur play of Amadeus !
Lovely British voices,!, such a pleasure
I live in Zimbabwe and as such we don’t get all the adverts. Sometimes it is worth living in the boondocks.
Really enjoyable radio drama, shame it was utterly spoilt by the plethora of mindless ads. No reflection upon you Mr Tesla. Shame on UA-cam.
Ridiculous number of ads interupting the story...about every 4 minutes or so! The finest offering ever could not sustain this level of interuption. Pure greed.
Since some of the show is copyrighted (but can used on YT), I have no control over adds. That is all up to YT. My channel isn't monetized so I can't do anything about the adds. Sorry Bill.
@@nikolateslawirelessradio I realize it is not you. My complaint is against YT. I admire those of you who spend time and energy uploading interesting content only to have it ruined by advertising overkill...at least in my region.Good luck to you in your efforts.
I dislike them also. But I just advance them as quick as possible and I still can enjoy these productions.
Thank you. Excellent
Glad you enjoyed it!
Richard Davies an underrated Welsh actor who was far better than his character in Please Sir.
Great…shame about the ads. 😢
Since some of the show is copyrighted (but can used on YT), I have no control over adds. That is all up to YT. My channel isn't monetized so I can't do anything about the adds. Sorry.
UA-cam premium is the answer.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
The theme tune is 'another happening' by neil richardson, if you think you have heard it elsewhere it was used for the rank companies 'Britain on film' series.
Good story … but too many ads spoil it…. just greedy
Hopefully someone will upload Bernard Hepton in The Teashop Detective dramas.
I do have them, its called the Teahouse Detective. I'm checking on copyright statis before uploading.
Do a search on here someone has and I have heard a couple
I've heard them recently too
Nothing against you but I must have heard this at least a dozen times. You know when you're watching something or listening. to something :
You know it's going to happen before it happens but I'll still listen to it again.
When you create a play to be a rerun that's how much you like those plays
I know what you mean. With me it's Casablanca. I've watched it 30 times I bet, but still love it each time. Also with the Rocky Jordan radio show. I've listened to it 3 times. Each time is good. (It's under detective series)
The stupid ad's make it difficult to listen after 20 min...☹️😡
What's this theme tune.
I pay for youtube Premium at $15 au per month to stop ads. You can get it on several devices for this cost.
💙🎙📻💙
Welcome back, its been a while. Hope your enjoying the programs.
Turning off !!!!
To many adverts spoil it !!!

So bad 40 hours next year
I've given up, far too many adverts. Unsubscribed.
Sorry about the ads. The reason for the ads is the background music. It's all copyrighted but allowed to be used on YT. YT inserts ads and any ad revenue is sent to the copyright owner, I can't remove the music without removing a lot of the dialogue.
