Lew Grade's pioneering ITC company created a production line of
quirky new drama series for British Independent Television in the
1960s, fulfilling a vision of providing entertaining, colour film
series for a global market. In the first of a proposed series of
critical guides, Avengers expert Rodney Marshall and television
historian Matthew Lee explore ITC's Man in a Suitcase. Their book
offers new, inventive readings of all thirty episodes. Man in a
Suitcase is a product of its mid-1960s context, exploring themes
such as Cold War espionage and Swinging Sixties playgirls, yet most
of the stories also have a timeless feel to them: political
corruption, blackmail, murder, missing persons or money, art theft.
Despite the private detective/bounty hunter formula, there are
welcome elements of playfulness, quirkiness, surrealism and a
healthy abundance of social and political critique. Man in a
Suitcase cannot be simplistically labelled as 'light entertainment'
given the dark subject matter and its treatment.
