On this day, 24 April 1982: Eagle

There was a shared mood to the front and back covers of this week’s Eagle.

Sgt. Streetwise was, I guess, my generation’s PC49. Unably assisted by the hapless PC Botham, DS Wise used his undercover smarts to nab crooks.

Gerry Finley-Day was the writer, and this episode was photographed by Dave Watts. The lead actor, according to John Porter on Twitter, was Bill Malin, who also appeared on telly in Eastenders, Lifeforce, ‘Allo ‘Allo and (as a Cyberman) Doctor Who.
