Strangers: Marriages, Deaths and Births (ITV 6 Feb 1979)
In Marriages, Deaths and Births, the final episode of the second season Bulman decides to arrest a well known villain Johnny Carmos, a member of a major gangland family, during his wedding. Things go badly wrong when Carmos’s psychotic brother Nick pulls a gun and not only shoots Bulman but then takes him hostage. It leads to a dangerous manhunt and a fight to bring down Nick before Bullman dies.
A strong finish to the second season, with legend Bill Fraser popping up as head of the Carmos family and rising star Ben Cross as the somewhat deranged Nick.
Season three brought some major changes as Bulman, Willis and Bennett headed back to London.
