''Colonel March of Scotland Yard'' is a 1950s British television series based on author John Dickson Carr's (aka Carter Dickson) fictional detective Colonel March from his book ''The Department of Queer Complaints'' (1940). Carr was a mystery author who specialised in locked-room whodunnits and other 'impossible' crimes: murder mysteries that seemed to defy possibility. The stories of the television series followed in the same vein with Detective March solving cases that baffle Scotland Yard and the British police. The series was made at Southall Studios in Middlesex, England and was produced by Fountain Films for ITV. The series premiered in 1955 with a total of 26 episodes. The show starred Boris Karloff as the urbane, eye-patched sleuth (no reason was ever given for the loss of his eye). Other regulars included Ewan Roberts as Inspector Ames of Scotland Yard and Eric Pohlmann as Inspector Goron of the Paris Sûreté. It was believed only twelve episodes of the series still existed as 35mm black and white prints, the rest having been destroyed (all 26 have been made available on DVD-R, with only "The Devil Sells His Soul" lacking a soundtrack). A feature film, Colonel March Investigates was also released, comprising three episodes of the TV series. A related series ''Scotland Yard,'' hosted by Edgar Lustgarten' and starring John Woodvine, Russell Napier, and John Carlisle aired on the American Broadcasting Company in the 1957-1958 television season. ==List of episodes== 8 ''The Sorcerer'' 6 ''The Abominable Snowman'' 22 ''Present Tense'' 5 ''At Night All Cats Are Gray'' 12 ''The Case of the Kidnapped Poodle'' 18 ''The Invisible Knife'' 25 ''The Strange Event at Roman Hall'' 11 ''The Headless Hat'' 4 ''The Second Mona Lisa'' 15 ''Death in Inner Space'' 26 ''The Talking Head'' 16 ''The Devil Sells His Soul'' 21 ''Murder is Permanent'' 23 ''The Silent Vow'' 14 ''Death and the Other Monkey'' 19 ''The Stolen Crime'' 24 ''The Silver Curtain'' 17 ''Error at Daybreak'' 1 ''Hot Money'' 20 ''The Missing Link'' 13 ''The Case of the Misguided Missal'' 9 ''The Deadly Gift'' 7 ''The Case of the Lively Ghost'' 2 ''Death in the Dressing Room'' 3 ''The New Invisible Man'' 10 ''Passage at Arms'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colonel March of Scotland Yard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
