Format:DVD
Finally available from networkdvd is the box set of this series. The very first 13 episodes were shot on film and they look great. The rest of the series was shot on video tape due to a strike at that time. It is impossible to make them look as good as the filmed episodes. Nevertheless this is a great series. Michael Quinn stars as Nick Craig in the first season as the lonely Ghost Squad agent. In the second season he is joined by Neil Hallett as Miller , and thereafter they used to share rotating episodes. The series was a groundbreaker and most of it stands well today. The whistling theme is as wonderfully evocative today as it was in 1961! Each week features one of the agents investigating murder, espionage and robbery.Quinn's character is a master of disguise and this leads to some entertaing episodes.Shot in dark corners and low key lighting the series ( especially the first season looks great ) The 3 rd series was entitled G.S.5 and Nick Craig did not return, his character had been killed off. I don't know if Quinn quit or was pushed , but without him the series died very quickly. If you love old 60's tv then the series is a must for you to collect.

Format:DVD
ghost squad is an underrated itc series from 1961 and having just acquired the box set i must admit i was pleasently surprised at the quality of the transfer especially the first thirteen episodes that were shot on film. the other episodes are just as interesting but are shot on videotape because of a strike at hte time.
these itc series from the sixties and seventies are wonderfully nostalgic and this one is no exception.
my own personal favourite is GIDEONS WAY ,a 1964 cops series starring john gregson but GHOST SQUAD is nearly as good.
all in all an essential purchase for anyone interested in the itc shows of the sixties.
by the way does anyone know what happened to michael quinn who played craig in the first series ?

Ghost Squad is a series that is nothing to do with Ghosts. This was a TV series made by ITC and ATV which was transmitted in the UK from 1961 to 1964. Read more

Available only from the Network site
Great to see it once again. Not one of the best spy series but wonderful to see the great Donald Wolfit in a rare tv moment. Network have not improved the picture quality. Read more

Ghost squad: a distant memory
I saw this when I was very young and remember enjoying it. I was confused when Michael Quinn was replaced by Neil Hallett who didn't seem to be as good. Read more
