meets his match in Sen. Det. Kelly.

Executive Producer.......Edward Ogden
Synopsis: A sudden spate of vicious attacks on lone women has the Homicide team racing
time to catch a killer on a campaign of vengeance. Descriptions of the killer match that
of a middle aged woman - and with each killing, a number is painted at the scene, counting
back from 88. In the course of their investigations, detectives come across the
Phelby-Thomas mansion, and an assortment of characters living there, including an 80 year
old pensioner, a houseboy, and a German chauffer. Further inquiries reveal that
Phelby-Thomas is a retired actor, whose programme ran for 88 episodes, and whose specialty
was disguises - the various people at the house, plus the 'Jill The Ripper' character, all
being Phelby-Thomas in make-up.
Notes: John Krummel portrayed several separate roles, all as Phelby-Thomas in various
disguises.
Crawfords sought advice from an American make-up expert who read the script
and told them no way - it could not be done. Undaunted, Crawfords own make-up lady Jan Gash
performed the task herself, and did an excellent job.

John.......Denzil Howson
Val.......Ann Gilding
Billy Maxwell.......Reg Dell
Script.......Peter Schreck
Director.......Ian Bennett
Executive Producer.......Henry Crawford
Synopsis: Private investigator Michael Ryan becomes involved in blackmail, murder and
intrigue as he clashes with the Homicide team. The case centres on The Tango Club, a
discotheque which is a front for a high class house of prostitution catering to
businessmen. The club is also a front for a blackmailing racket as the club's manager
surreptitiously takes photos of guests as they cavort with the club's girls, Niki and Val.
Ryan is hired by a worried and influential businessman to recover negatives of photographs
being used to blackmail him. Ryan's methods are not the most orthodox and he quickly comes
into conflict with the Homicide squad when Tango Club manager Billy Maxwell is found dead.
As a prime suspect, Ryan has to move fast to find the murderer. Another murder is
committed before the case is solved - with Ryan and the Homicide team working in
confusion, misunderstanding and mistrust.
Notes: Featuring the cast from Ryan. This episode was made after completion of the
39 episode Ryan series pending a decision on whether a second series would go into
production. At this time Homicide production was doubled up to make use of both
film crews, reverting to normal when the decision was made not to proceed with a second
series of Ryan. Pamela Stephenson does not appear as Julie King in this episode as
she had resigned following completion of the first series of Ryan, and would not
have appeared in a second series if production continued. A reference is made to her
character to explain her absence.

Synopsis: Homicide detectives face a wall of silence when they try to investigate the
death of a man at a Melbourne marina. An old salt, Running Jack, is their only witness -

the police go under cover, with Sen. Det. Redford and Sen. Const. Jill Cregan of the
drug squad posing as the owners of a new boat. The detectives eventually find a motive for the murder but are unable to uncover
the culprit in the face of stony silence from the tight-knit local boating fraternity, who
seem to know more than they are willing to talk about.

vying with each other for their father's favours and advancement. They also discover
unhappy employees resentful of their employer's wealth and meanness - in particular a
young Aboriginal radical, Gary Willis. The squad's investigation into the Italian
community and the small black minority in the area presents a complex montage of internal
conflicts and racial hatreds - there are too many motives for too many people.
Complicating the issue is vengeance for Venuzzi's death, which doesn't wait for
confirmation of the culprit - another must die before the Homicide squad home in on the
real murderer.

revolver - and when his former employers, milk bar proprietors Tom and Alice Mitchell, are
found shot by a .38 with their life savings gone from their cash box, Bishop becomes the
prime suspect. Damning evidence mounts up against Bishop - and then his girlfriend,
Brigitte Solerno, informs police that he has taken off for Wrest Point Casino
in Tasmania with a large
'killing' he claims he won at the races. The last formality of an identification parade is
arranged, and the case is all ready to be sewn up, but the witness fails to pick out
Bishop from the parade...

discussion underway on television.

Ruby had been a prostitute, but to Thomas' certain knowledge, she had given it up. Some
not too difficult research by the Homicide squad shows that she had not in fact 'retired'
- and the long job of tracking down and questioning her customers begins. It is Thomas who
uncovers the vital clue to the murderer, just as the police are making the same deductions.
