Produced by Southern TV for broadcast on ITV between 1968 and 1973, Freewheelers was an adventure series aimed at older children, and which effectively provided James Bond-style adventures for television. Needless to say, it occassionaly strayed into the the sci-fi area with plots to freeze Britain by using a weather machine, and a device capable of using sunlight to destroy an entire city in one go.



Made on film (and in colour from Season Four), the series involved a regularly-changing group of teenagers who would become involved in various plots revolving around the obligatory Nazis and insane criminal masterminds, chief amongst them being the Nazi Von Gelb who would trouble our heroes throughout the first three seasons. Leading the good guys, and starring in the majority of the series was Ronald Leigh-Hunt who played Commander Buchan, one of MI5's best agents.



Familar faces amongst the ever-changing regulars were Tom Owen (Last of the Summer Wine) as Bill Cowan and Wendy Padbury (Zoe in Doctor Who) as Sue.
