Anyone been watching these recently? They have been re-running them on ITV4 (or 2?).
In recent episodes, we have seen Batman, the six million dollar man and that gorgeous French lady, who was in the film The Party. (Adam West, Lee Majors & Claudine Longet
)
Pete Duel was replaced by Roger Davis in Tuesday's episode. I did not recall the reason why and now have read that the original actor(Pete Duel) was shot in 1971.

pete duel killed himself, i've no recollection of seeing the replacement but i do know it was the man that did voice overs in the first series because i read about it it is still watchable today, but sometimes gets a but predictable |

Yes Stow..Misses twizzle and myself have been enjoying the series since it was flagged up on the forum but after Tuesdays episode without Pete Duel we wont be watching anymore.Just not the same without the original Hannibal Hayes. It did come as quite a shock when the character was changed without any explanation what so ever.
I have been reading up on the circumstances involving Pete's death and it appears he took his own life after getting drunk on dec 31st 1971.He hated what he was doing and on that day he had been given the news that a third series had been commissioned. He was tied into a lengthy contract with ABC so he had no choice but to continue.I also read that Pete and his co- star Ben Murphy did not get along which again surprised me .Pete Duel committed suicide before the 18th episode.Very sad..such a tragic waste. |
