The Rockford Files

One of the biggest 70s detectives hits that all my family would si down and watch on a Saturday night was the brilliant Rockford Files starring Hollywood actor James Garner. He was the guy living in caravan style vehicle and the show started with the answerphone leaving a message for him, followed by that fantastic theme written by Mike Post. http://escapetotheseventies.com/70s-television/the-rockford-files/

There were several story-lines where he had an injured leg and this was because he had a bad leg and was often hobbling so the writers had to write in leg injuries.
