Public Eye
Marker isn't a glamorous detective and he doesn't get glamorous cases—he doesn't even get glamorous girls.
Public Eye is a British television drama broadcast from 1965 to 1975 on ITV1. Produced by ABC Television for three series, and Thames Television for a further four, the programme follows the investigations and cases handled by the unglamourous enquiry agent Frank Marker.
