 Very
1960's tales of a Victorian Adventurer frozen in
1902 and thawed out in the swinging sixties to
combat crime.
Adam Adamant was a popular hero of the Victorian
age, lured into a trap by his arch rival the
Evil Face he is entombed in a block of
ice.
Over time Adam's legend grows until in 1966 he
is discovered and thawed out, finding his new
world highly strange he is helped by the young
and very trendy Georgina Jones and an ageing
valet called Simms.
Adam soon got back into his adventuring ways,
all the time adjusting to his new world of
bright lights, loud music, dolly birds, The
Beatles and The Stones. Season two brought back
The Face for Adam to once more do battle with.
 The
show was made in black and white by the BBC and
very few episodes still exist, the show is often
cited as a BBC attempt to create an Avengers
type show. Adam's style of dress however would
be a definite influence on the Jon Pertwee era
of Doctor Who.
