*TV/Film Tie-Ins: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our TV/Films Tie-Ins Category for some books of shows of varying fame. I don’t remember the American cop series (trendy young cops) the Mod Squad ever being shown here, but the book spin-offs ran to two series. The Persuaders is more familiar, a late entry into the ATV adventure shows, but not a favourite of mine despite the high profile stars. Our Planet Of The Apes entry is based on the TV series; I think with the Apes you can either love them or leave them. Apart from the original film, I’d rather leave them. On the other hand, the Prisoner was a totally unique series of stylish genius; nothing like it has ever been made.
