Series
A glossy, bikini-filled police action drama set in the South of France features four main characters played by Noel Trevarthen, Frank Lieberman, Geoffrey Frederick, and Brian Spink. Although these four determined police officers rarely appeared together in the same episode, the show had everything: four handsome policemen, blue skies, a stunning backdrop of the Côte d'Azur, major crime, and numerous bikini-clad starlets. There was plenty of time for chatting up women on the beach in between chasing villains.
