The series focuses on a dogged inspector's pursuit of a group of cocaine smugglers across Europe and his bid to bring them to justice.
A total of thirteen episodes aired over the course of nine months.
Written by acclaimed The Sweeney scriptwriter Roger Marshall, the series was released on DVD by Network on 19 July 2010.
Although further series of the programme were planned, lead actor Phillip Sayer was diagnosed with cancer in 1988 and eventually died in 1989.
Marshall concluded that it would be wrong to re-cast the part and instead decided to bring the series to a natural close.
