Department S was an Interpol branch that specialised in unsolvable crimes, headed by the wonderfully effete Jason King (see next page). Among his glamorous young operatives was Annabel Hurst - played by Rosemary Nichols - who drove a white Lancia Fulvia Coupe. This car, registered UBY 96F - featured in several other ITC series. Her colleague Stewart Sullivan - played by Joel Fabiani - drove a Series 2 E-Type roadster. Some 28 colour episodes were produced between 1969 and 1970, to the usual formula of supposed exotic locations, glamorised violence and implausible plots.
