    Super series

    Cluff is a fine example of the sort of series the BBC did so well in the 60s and 70s. Based on the books by Gil North. The wonderful thing about this series is that North actually wrote every single episode himself. Leslie Sands is quite brilliant and believable. It's a bygone world set in a Yorkshire village that even in the 60s is behind the times. Michael Bates is inspector Mole in the second series and is a brilliant character for Cluff to play off and tangle with. The most insignificant little thing becomes a clue for Cluff who can investigate anything from a lost frozen chicken to a murder and always very interesting. I doubt these will ever be released to dvd, more is the pity because having the opportunity to view the second series I found it totally engrossing. Atmospheric, evocative and entertaining, what more can you ask?
