Softly Softly: Task Force
Overview
Softly, Softly: Task Force is a police based drama series which ran on BBC 1 from 1969 to 1976. It was a revamp of Softly, Softly, itself a spin-off from Z-Cars. The change was made partly to coincide with the coming of colour broadcasting to the BBC's main channel BBC1. The programme was due to be called simply Task Force, but reluctant to sacrifice a much-loved brand the BBC compromised this so it became Softly, Softly: Task Force.
This production, originally released in 1969, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Crime, Drama genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 6.0 across its 8 seasons.
