Unbending, determined, and intelligent, Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Michael Jericho has earned a place in the pantheon of great fictional British detectives. Set in the fast-paced world of 1950s London, this skillful, noirish television program follows Jericho (Robert Lindsay) as he tries to keep his head in the rapidly changing city. This set includes two episodes: "Pair of Ragged Claws," which deals with the racially motivated murder of a young black man and a wealthy businessman's apparent kidnapping; and "The Killing of Johnny Swan," which concerns the mysterious death of a famed athlete on the cusp of a much-hyped rematch with the champion of the Soviet Union.
