Adam Adamant Lives!(1966)

Adam Adamant Lives! is a British comedy adventure series that aired on the BBC from 1966 to 1967. Gerald Harper stars as the title character, an Edwardian adventurer born in 1867 who awakens from hibernation in swinging 1960s London. The show uses its fish-out-of-water premise to satirize contemporary life, contrasting the protagonist's old-fashioned sensibilities with the mod culture and social upheaval of the era. As Adam navigates this bewildering new world, he pursues various cases and escapades alongside his young companion. The series balances action-packed adventure with sharp social commentary, offering viewers a witty critique of the decade through the bewildered perspective of a man displaced from his own time.
