Season 1

1960 · 12 episodes

1. Easy Money

Police surgeon Dr. Geoffrey Brent decides to take a personal interest in Jim Clark, a juvenile delinquent who is beginning to make repeat appearances at the police station. Aware that his home life is less than ideal, the Doctor helps get young Jimmy off the hook for stealing money from a vending machine. Later, they bump into one another in a cafe, whereupon the Doctor takes the opportunity to play guidance counselor. Just as he ""patient"" is beginning to respond to the ""treatment,"" even demonstrating his improvement by thwarting the efforts of a group of punks to swipe a violin from an old derelict, he is re-arrested for the vending machine theft.

2. Under the Influence

A man arrested for drunken driving leads Dr Brent into conflict with a fellow practitioner who believes the man guilty as charged. Brent thinks otherwise—but must prove his theory to the satisfaction of the police.

3. Lag on the Run

Police Surgeon Geoffrey Brent plays the role of private detective when a ""hostess"" confesses to a crime she obviously didn't commit—a confession that brings unforeseen consequences for both himself and the girl.

4. Smash But No Grab

When Sally Hughes, an attractive woman injured in a road accident, presses her claim for damages, Dr Brent finds himself in a situation which neither he nor the police can overcome.

5. Wilful Neglect

When two children are discovered, apparently abandoned, police surgeon Geoffrey Brent uncovers the unlovable problems which lie behind the outwardly happy faces of loving parents.

6. A Home of Her Own

Accident-prone Mrs Lamond presents a danger to herself and her neighbours, but her independence adds to Dr Brent's dilemma when he has to decide whether to place the old lady in nursing home as requested by her far from loving in-laws.

7. You Won't Feel A Thing

Desperately seeking a way to save a patient's life, Dr Brent must first overcome the small girl's fear of doctors and of hypodermic needles in particular. Without an injection, she faces certain death.

8. Sunday Morning Story

Called in to give evidence on the cause of death of a young female refugee, Dr Brent finds himself facing a tough case. It appears that neither he nor the police have sufficient evidence to lay the blame on the person responsible.

9. Three's a Crowd

What appears to be an insurmountable problem—a charge of assault by a domineering woman and her daughter-in-law—ends up as a test of strength between Dr Brent and a defending barrister.

10. Man Overboard

A body found beneath a balcony draws police surgeon Geoffrey Brent into a tough case involving two women. His evidence can prove one or the other guilty of murder.

11. Operation Mangle

When Goerge Bates rallies his neighbours against an unscrupulous landlord, Dr Brent finds himself as the pig in the middle, trying to breach the barricade erected by the tenants in order to reach an injured man.

12. The Bigger They Are

Called in to attend to a night watchman's wounds caused by robbers, Dr Brent and Inspector Landon discover another wounded man clinging to a ledge near the warehouse roof. Their dilemma: what is he doing there and is he one of the robbers?
