I remember watching this programme and really enjoying it during my childhood as it always had lots of action and the 2 main leads never took themselves too seriously.
Well just watched a Feature Length Episode of the TV Show on Channel 5 today and really enjoyed it, so thought I would look up what the 2 main actors had done in recent times as I could not recall any of their "other" stuff, to my shock and horror just learned that Pete Duel who played "Hannibal" shot himself on New Years Eve 1971 right at the height of his fame ... just goes to show, on the outside it might appear you have everthing going for you (good looks, fame, money) but inside it can be a different story ... fucking shocking stuff!!

RIP Hannibal.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH "ALAS SMITH & JONES" BTW!!

Well I was only 2 at the time photo-taker, didn't really read too many obituaries in the Newspapers in those days it has to be said!!

,,,,,,,,,and in all the trains and banks they robbed they never shot anyone.This made our two latter day Robin Hoods,very popuplar..with everyone but the banks and the railroads...There's one thing we've got to get Hayes..''What's that? 'Out of this business!'

Classic TV.Monday nights 8.05pm BBC2 1970 ish..replaced the High Chapparal....

I wish they'd put Alias Smith & Jones on in the afternoon again, instead of Murder She Wrote.

A great pity other so called actors couldn't shoot themselves, Ross Kemp, Leslie Grantham etc so we don't have to watch their shite on TV.

Some may not know that Grantham has a previous conviction..for murder no less!

this western tv series from about 1971/72 was similar to the persuaders i thought only set yrs before.mrmcfister wrote:

You don't HAVE to watch 'em if you don't want to. That's why God invented channel-surfing, the DVD player and - when all else fails - the OFF button!
