Well; several other old codgers remember 'Gary Halliday', and his reliable side-kick Bill Dodds. These were the days when a male could have a close friend without any sexual implications.
I can remember watching this programme with my siblings. I recollect that Halliday was a pilot, and that Dodds was his co-pilot, but not much else. I also remember that Bill Dodds sometimes rode a motorcycle. However, I only now recollect 'The Voice' after reading other contributions.
So; can anybody tell me what was actually going on?
The fact that a bloke happens to fly aeroplanes is hardly a basis for having a mysterious enemy like 'Dr No' - who was also fond of disembodied voices. Surely Halliday was up to something else as well. Was he a secret agent for which his flying was just a convenient cover? And what did 'The Voice' actually want? Presumably he meant to overthrow Halliday. But why? Was he the covert boss of a competitor airline?
Can someone spill the beans on this, 'cos I haven't a clue?
I've given it 7 stars because I remember finding it pretty exciting. But that's just a vague memory, now. The funny thing is; I saw the actor featured in several other dramas, not least of which was 'Carry On Nurse' where he played a patient awaiting surgery on a bunion. And I always called him 'Gary Halliday', or said that 'Gary Halliday' was in it. And everyone seemed to know exactly who I meant. That's probably why he's still remembered; he got typecast to a generation of telly-kids.
But what was he up to; that's what I want to know?
And while I'm shuffling down memory lane, doesn't anybody remember 'The Guardians' and 'Quick, Before They Catch Us'?
