The Wildes are a partnership as well as a marriage: Rupert, an amateur detective who is also a best-selling crime novelist, and Amy - artist, designer, fellow sleuth and virtual PA for Rupert. The Wildes' extravagant tastes - not to mention regular Income Tax demands - mean they occasionally struggle to make ends meet amid the elegance of their apartment in a manor house in York. The baffling cases that come their way, however, help keep their thoughts far from such concerns... Julia Foster and John Stride star in this popular mystery series from Yorkshire Television, produced and partly written by distinguished former Royal Navy officer (and Sandbaggers creator) Ian Mackintosh. Intriguing, playful storylines and plenty of surprises made Wilde Alliance a ratings winner on its original broadcast in 1978.
