(not mis-titled) Runaway girls from the country are lured by the glamour of London, only to fall into the hands of recruiters for call girl rings. Jennie is one, and she soon becomes hard and cynical. Marker is hired to find her and coax her to return home. The original first episode for broadcast, “The Morning Wasn't So Hot“, was pushed well down the order and replaced by “All for a Couple of Ponies“. It's unclear why this change was made, but this episode features a young woman who goes astray, and the depiction of the world of vice may have seemed a little too strong for an opener. First broadcast 10th April 1965. Also featuring Carole Ann Ford and Philip Madoc. Not a spoiler alert: Frank doesn't seem to have developed his taste for instant coffee yet, as he agrees to having a cup of tea. The five episodes of Public Eye from Series 1 to 3 that still exist in complete form are, Nobody Kills Santa Claus (S1); The Morning Wasn’t So Hot (S1); Don’t Forget You’re Mine (S2); Works with Chess, Not with Life (S2), and The Bromsgrove Venus (S3).
