Hazell: Hazell and the Walking Blur (ITV 30 Jan 1978, with Bill Henderson)

Hazell and the Walking Blur

In Hazell and the Walking Blur Hazell is asked by visiting Scots tourist Alex Galbraith just exactly what he did on his night on the town. The God fearing middle aged businessman, who still lives at home with his “mammy,” has no memory of what happened the night before, he also has nearly fifteen hundred quid on him – which he certainly didn’t have when he left.

Hazell begins to retrace Galbraith’s steps in a bid to find out how he got the money. When the trail takes him from a Medieval styled pub to a massage parlour, Hazell discovers the search might be more dangerous than he first thought.

Hazell and the Walking Blur

Michael Elphick as Tommy Griffiths

It turns out to be a simple case of Galbraith picking up the wrong raincoat. The one he has belongs to an associate of gangster Tommy Griffiths.

A somewhat fun episode with a great performance from Bill Henderson as Galbraith. Not to mention a small but brilliant appearance from Michael Elphick as French spouting gangster Griffiths. Follyfoot fans may be somewhat perturbed to see Steve from that series as a cross dressing gent who turns Galbraith’s head.

classic quote
“how do you fancy a quick spot of leg work, around the flesh pots.”
