For British TV series it would be The Sweeney, The New Avengers and The Professionals.

In more recent times I really enjoyed Life On Mars and Line Of Duty.

Those plus Columbo ( I like the bit where he says 'Just one more thing')

Yes it was fabulous at the time. Everyone wanted to be Farah Fawcett. She was the 70s ideal but left too soon. It was never the same with Cheryl Ladd.
