Doctor Who Vs. Hannay, Series 1

This adventure series was a TV spin-off from

Rank's 1978 film version of The Thirty Nine

Steps. Both productions starred Robert Powell
 (born 1944) as Edwardian action-hero Richard
Hannay, created in 1915 by John Buchan
(1875-1940), the Scottish novelist, historian
and politician.

Hannay appeared in four further books, and
has been portrayed by over twenty actors
across all media, since Hitchcock's first
adaptation in 1935.

 Thames Television's period drama (co-
produced by Robert Banks Stewart) was
set before the Great War, and had little in
common with Buchan's novels, but used
character names from his other works.
