Hazell (TV series)

Hazell (TV series)

Hazell was a British television series that ran from 1978-1979, about a fictional private detective named James Hazell.

Overview

James Hazell was a cockney private detective character created by journalist and novelist Gordon Williams and footballer-turned-manager Terry Venables. The first book, The Bornless Keeper, appeared in 1974, quickly followed by Hazell plays Solomon in the same year.

Hazell plays Solomon was the first episode of the (1978-1980) TV series Hazell. The wise-cracking private dick was played by a youngish Nicholas Ball. Hazell was a smart parody of earlier film-noir detectives such as Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade, the casting of Ball in the title role made for a younger TV Hazell than printed Hazell.

A Thames Television Network Production, Hazell ran for 22 hour-long episodes.
