60 years ago today! Celebrating the anniversary of the first episode of the BBC TV series The Troubleshooters – ‘Is That Tiger, Man’. Following on from the oil industry based adventure series Mogul, this episode relaunched the show with a new title, and updated format and cast.

The definitive guidebook will be published by @devonfirebooks, following the production of the series from inception through to the various attempts to get a spin-off launched, delving into the making of each episode and the globetrotting filming that brought it to life.
