Torrent description

This torrent was uploaded from www.TheBox.bz (signup is open and free) - the home of all British TV

Synopsis: Exploits of Detective Superintendent Hackett (played by Patrick Mower), in charge of operations of a Regional Crime Squad. "Target" is one of the toughest police series ever - if you are into "The Sweeney" and "The Professionals" you should like this one too. Be warned though: there's a remarkable absence of humour, and the violence is nasty and unsettling sometimes.
The stories were about fairly ordinary crime: bank jobs, kidnappings, corruption etc. Nothing special here, but the way the production team handled it gave a new meaning to the term "grim realism".

Regular cast: Patrick Mower (Det. Sup. Steve Hackett) - Philip Madoc (Det. Chief Sup. Tate) - Brendan Price (Det. Sgt. Frank Bonney) - Vivien Heilbron (Det. Sgt. Louise Colbert).

Production Credit: BBC Television

EPISODE ONE: Shipment (9th September 1977)
Det. Sup. Hackett of the 13th Regional Crime Squad takes it very personally when his snitch is murdered. The snitch tipped him to some funny business onboard an international cargo ship, so he goes after an old enemy as the ultimate power behind the scam.
