C.A.T.S. Eyes
C.A.T.S. Eyes is a British television series made by TVS for ITV between 1985 and 1987.
Premise
The series was a spin-off from The Gentle Touch and saw Jill Gascoine reprise her role as Maggie Forbes, having left the police force to join an all-female private detective agency called "Eyes" based in Kent that is actually a front for a Home Office team called C.A.T.S. (Covert Activities Thames Section).
The team also comprised refined Oxford graduate Pru Standfast (Rosalyn Landor) as leading the unit, and streetwise computer expert Frederica "Fred" Smith (Leslie Ash). Nigel Beaumont (Don Warrington) was the "man from the ministry" overseeing their activities. For the second series onwards, the Eyes detective agency front had been dropped; Pru was replaced by the similarly upper class but more frivolous Tessa "Tess" Robinson (Tracy Louise Ward); and Maggie was elevated to team leader.
Links to The Gentle Touch
The only other character from The Gentle Touch to make an appearance was her love interest D.I. Mike Turnbull (played by Bernard Holley) who appeared in the second episode of the first series, "The Black Magic Man", to help her with a case. Although they were still a couple at the end of The Gentle Touch, it was implied that they had ended their relationship in the time between though were still good friends. However, their relationship was left somewhat ambiguous and unresolved.
