I honestly thought I had reviewed this show before.

I remember Poindexter Yothers, a strong '70s child actor staple, appeared here, he being the brother of Family Ties' Tina Yothers, being on this show.

I'm watching The Double Deckers on Youtube and remembered this show.

They had sort of the same lineup, but were American.

I also recall Dennis Patrick as the sargent when the kids would solve crimes and mysteries, he would enter to arrest the crooks.

In one episode, the character called Sheldon got braces, and the other kids were making fun of him.

When they later found themselves locked up in a high lofty perch, one of the kids got the idea to use Sheldon's braces to signal for help, doing morse code.

On the ground, we see Dennis Patrick reading the morse code with Sheldon's braces.

"That's eth-oh-eth. Only one person speaks like that. It's Sheldon. The kids must be in trouble," he says.

I can't say there weren't more than six episodes as that was about the extent of my attention span. This show ran on Saturdays mostly, but I think I recall it on a Sunday or two.
