Adam Adamant Lives! Complete Collection DVD Boxed Set (5 discs). The cult BBC '60s detective drama lives again!

Adam Adamant is a dandy Edwardian adventurer who wakes up in the swinging Sixties, having been frozen in a block of ice by his nemesis, "The Face". Bemused by the loose morals of a permissive society, Adam, aided by swinging chick Georgina Jones, dashes about in his Mini Cooper, thwarting evil in the form of sinister ladies' charities, posh satanists and cigar-chomping female crimelords.

In 1966, the BBC turned to Doctor Who creator Sydney Newman and producer Verity Lambert for an idea to emulate ITV's success with The Avengers. Adam Adamant Lives! saw ever-so British star Gerald Harper take the lead role and Ridley Scott, acclaimed director of Hannibal, Gladiator and Alien, direct several episodes. Only two series were made but three decades later a certain Austin Powers exquisitely parodied the series…
