Dial 999 (TV series)
This British television series ran for one series of 38 episodes from 1958 to 1959.
It starred Robert Beatty as Canadian Mountie Mike Maguire and followed his work fighting crime with London's police. Beatty was essentially reprising his role in the 1946 film Appointment With Crime, in which he played Detective Inspector Rogers, a Canadian police officer attached to Scotland Yard.
The show contrasted Beatty's muscular brand of policing with that of his British colleagues, but failed to sell to North American markets.
