Shoestring: The Complete Series – DVD

Such panache and animation, such lively scripts and exciting photography makes you pleased you succumbed to the lure of television The Times Trevor Eve stars as radio Private Ear Eddie Shoestring in the massively successful BAFTA-Nominated BBC drama series. Shoestring became one of the most popular British private detective shows of all time, with Trevour Eve playing the dishevelled radio detective Eddie Shoestring. Eddie is an unconventional and unlikely private eye. In fact, with his own phone-in radio show, hes more like a troubleshooting private ear. His scruffy clothes, shaggy hairstyle and off-centre view of life offer him a clever and deceptive camouflage when hes on the crime-solving trail. Co-created by Robert Banks Stewart, Shoestring also stars Michael Medwin as Eddies long-suffering boss Don Satchley; Liz Crowther as station receptionist Sonia; and Doran Godwin as Eddies landlady, on-off lover, and occasional assistant Erica. This complete series set also features appearances from Diana Dors, Harry H. Corbett, Toyah Wilcox, Geraldine James and Michael Elphick.
