1982 CBS. "4:10 to Zurich." Sam Waterston period steampunk mysteries. Only six aired and they are all on Youtube. Waterston is a scientist, Professor Quentin E. Deverill, who uses his scientific skills to solve crimes. Also with A.C. Weary, Caroline Langrishe (we share a birthday), George Innes. Guest stars in this ep. are Julian Glover, Paul Freeman, Elizabeth Shepherd, Paul Angelis. These stories take place in 1912.
A man trying to deliver an urgent message to the professor is shot on his doorstep, and all he can get out before he dies is something about the train to Zurich. The professor thinks it has something to do with a deadly nerve agent that he has discovered and the dead man was an assistant to another scientist who may have made the same discovery. The answer to the mystery will no doubt be found on the 4:10 to Zurich.
Q.E.D was an independent production made in England, and also aired there on ITV, but never found an audience in either country. It's a good show. I've watched a couple of them before on Youtube. Lots of action, science, derring-do, and period detail. All things I enjoy.
