Public Eye (TV Series)
Public Eye is a British television series that ran from 1965 to 1975 (7 series in total). It was produced by ABC Television for three series, and Thames Television for a further four series. The series depicted the investigations and cases handled by the unglamorous enquiry agent (i.e., a Private Eye—hence the twist in the title) Frank Marker, an unmarried loner who is in his early forties when the series begins. In the words of an ABC trailer for the third series: "Marker isn't a glamorous detective and he doesn't get glamorous cases—he doesn't even get glamorous girls! What he does get is people who are in trouble—the sort of trouble you can't go to the police about, even if you are innocent."

The ear more quick of apprehension makes;
Wherein it doth impair the seeing sense
It pays the hearing double recompense.”
