Cheaters, The (ITV 1960-1962, John Ireland, Robert Ayres)

Published

on


Crime drama series The Cheaters followed the cases of tough insurance investigator John Hunter who worked for the Eastern Insurance Company working out whether insurance claims were truly genuine or someone out to pull a fast one, obviously being an action/crime led series Hunter couldn’t help getting just a little too personally involved with the people he was investigating. Walter Allen was Hunter’s boss at Eastern.

Cases ran from the usual criminal variety to such fare as a libel claim against a newspaper to a famous playwright suspected of faking his own death. Guest stars included some well known names of the time including the likes of Howard Marion Crawford, Jennifer Jayne (from The Invisible Man), the fab Valentine Dyall (who popped up a few times as a detective inspector) and Jack May.
