Of the eighteen episodes from the first series twelve are currently known to exist; nine episodes from series two survive; while only one episode from the third series remains in the archive. Each episode of the first series was introduced by Rupert Davies, in-character as Inspector Maigret, reprising his role from the eponymous BBC series that had aired from 1960 to 1963. Several episodes functioned as Backdoor pilots for potential future series. Of the 45 episodes, only three such shows were produced as a result: Cluff (1964–65) starring Leslie Sands, Thorndyke (1964) starring Peter Copley, and Sherlock Holmes (1965–68) starring Douglas Wilmer, and later, Peter Cushing. Detective ran for 45 episodes over three series Several of the detectives featured have never reappeared in a television adaptation, making their appearance in the series even more significant to the Golden Age devotee. It also saw some lesser known – though no less interesting – sleuths, for example R. C. Woodthorpe’s Sir Luke Frinsby, Ethel Lina White’s Miss Pye and Edgar Jepson and Robert Eustace’s Ruth Kelstern. 'Detective' was successful and sold abroad, including to Australia. Three stories were chosen from the first season to be expanded into full series – 'Cluff' (already available on this channel) 'Thorndyke' and 'Sherlock Holmes'.
