All British productions done in the 1970s. The last one is kind of relevant as it's about a "conical flask in a far off laboratory that breaks and releases a virus."Shaun Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425084501514329529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833699981210036110.post-40055155361640169752021-09-20T09:29:35.607-07:002021-09-20T09:29:35.607-07:00Network have Wolcott out on Blu Ray - it's in ...Network have Wolcott out on Blu Ray - it's in my 'to buy' list.

However, once 'The Sweeney' had arrived not all crime or spy series by any means necessarily 'jumped ship' onto 16mm film by default. 'The Sandbaggers' (another superb spy series with much in common with 'Callan') ran 1978-80 using studio video and filmed insert exteriors ... and there were lots of British crime/police series that continued on videotape e.g. 'The Gentle Touch' 1980-84 and the extremely long running 'The Bill' 1984-2010, albeit the latter not with the standard studio production.
