- Strangers is a British television crime drama series, principally written and created by Murray Smith, and first broadcast on ITV on 5 June 1978. The series, featuring the characters of Detective Sergeant George Bulman (Don Henderson) and his assistant Detective Constable Derek Willis (Dennis Blanch), was a spin-off from the 1976 TV series The XYY Man, adapted from the novels of Kenneth Royce. The series was first suggested by Granada Television executives, who in 1977, outlined their plan to devise a new series to feature the regular characters of Bulman and Willis. "... I was sent here to be a stranger in town, a face they didn't recognise ..." - George Bulman The series began life as a fairly standard police drama, with Bulman positioned as its eccentric lead. The series' premise centred around a group of police officers, including Bulman and Willis, known as 'Unit 23', who are brought together from different parts of the country to Manchester to infiltrate areas and investigate crimes that familiar local detectives could not. Five series were broadcast, with the final episode airing on 20 October 1982. All five series of Strangers were released on DVD via the Network imprint as a complete box-set on 19 October 2009. Following the series, a further spin-off, simply entitled Bulman, ran for two series on ITV. It follows Bulman, again played by Don Henderson, as he retires from the police and becomes a private detective. (en)
- Strangers is een Britse politieserie die tussen 1978 en 1982 in 32 afleveringen werd geproduceerd. Don Henderson is de excentrieke politieman DCI George Bulman, geholpen door DI David Singer (gespeeld door ) die samen optredend vanuit een politiepost in het noorden van Engeland de lokale misdaad proberen te bestrijden. De reeks begon als een standaard-politiedramaserie met Bulman als de excentrieke leider. Het uitgangspunt was dat een groep politieagenten bijeengebracht waren uit verschillende delen van het land naar het noorden van Engeland. Het feit dat zij lokaal niet bekend zijn geeft hun de gelegenheid te infiltreren waar een rechercheur uit de regio dat niet kan. (nl)
