Raffles

Raffles was a 1977 television adaptation of the A. J. Raffles stories by Ernest William Hornung. The series was produced by Yorkshire Television and written by Philip Mackie. The episodes were largely faithful adaptations of the stories in the books, though occasionally two stories would be merged to create one. In Victorian-era London, gentleman thief A. J. Raffles, a renowned cricketer, and his friend, the eager but naive Bunny Manders, test their skills in relieving the wealthy of their valuables whilst avoiding detection, especially from the persistent Inspector Mackenzie.

This production, originally released in 1977, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Comedy, Crime genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 8.0 across its 1 season.
