The two hundred and twenty-first TV show: #18 Fabian of the Yard
Although not quite a lost work, it's difficult to actually watch this show. I found a DVD copy of a set of episodes, but for whatever reason it didn't play more than one episode. Only that episode - The Executioner - is on Youtube, or any other video source I could find, with the remainder being clips. To be fair, I probably wouldn't watch that much more - the staid-feeling crime show has more action than Dragnet, but the voice overs are fairly frequent and distracting and it's still working out its story telling. There's an interesting look at history, with the start of some excitement in it even as it ends with a moral, but it plays the action and investigation fairly straight. It's good for its dime, but you can see how quickly it would have been overtaken.
