Hazell is a hardboiled detective in the vein of Sam Spade. His patch is London rather than the mean streets of New York.

Written by Leon Griffiths, the creator of Minder. This is a modern pastiche of The Maltese Falcon.

Mel Martin plays the femme fatale Fiona who comes to Hazell to find a worthless statue which has sentimental value. It was taken by a dustman in Deptford. Soon two other people come looking for the same statue.

One of them is the wealthy and somewhat charming Brownlow played by Charles Gray. His variation on Sydney Greenstreet.

If you are going to rip off such a well known story then you might as well make it as good as this.
