Spyder's Web

Spyder's Web was a British crime drama television series produced by ATV for ITV and broadcast in 1972.

[2] It starred Anthony Ainley as Clive Hawksworth and Patricia Cutts as Charlotte "Lottie" Dean as two secret agents working for the mysterious Spyder organisation in the interests of the British government.

In common with many other such series of the time, Spyder's Web adopted an ironic approach to its subject matter.

Hawksworth, the "action man", was a knowing caricature of the steely-eyed, jutting-jawed heroes of former times, and was alleged to have been "steeped in Bulldog Drummond from an early age".

Five of the thirteen episodes were written by Roy Clarke, who created and wrote Last of the Summer Wine.
