LOL, have you actually watched Breakaway? It does at least have a fun cast!

I did! The second series only, because it's what was available on Dailymotion plus the missing installment you supplied. Combined with my experience of The Teckman Mystery, it suggested that one does not watch Francis Durbridge for the plot per se, but fortunately I was watching it for the actors and on that level had a delightful time.

(David Collings' hat was not just a hat on David Collings, which was bad enough, but it was in its own right a really terrible hat.)
