ADVENTURES OF PC49

Based on a popular British radio series this rare two movie set (unfortunately these are the ONLY 2 movies ever made - THE CASE OF THE GUARDIAN ANGEL & A CASE FOR PC49 - produced featuring London?s favorite bobby) presents both comedy and adventure as the bumbling PC49 somehow manages to solve the crimes. A combination of light comedy and sleuthing in a character who also appeared in comic strips and films as spin-offs.
The series featured Brian Reece as PC 49, Joy Shelton as his girlfriend Joan Carr (see picture above), Leslie Perrins as Detective Inspector Wilson and Eric Phillips as Detective Sergeant Wright. PC 49 (Police Constable Archibald Berkeley-Willoughby) was an ordinary bobby on the beat, solving crime in the late 40s and early 50s. He worked for 'Q' Division of the Metropolitan Police. The series was a mixture of drama and light comedy, something the cast seemed to thrive on with Joan proving to be as much a bane in the lives of Wright & Wilson as PC 49 himself.
