[Article] A New Francis Durbridge Television Serial
A quick look at the principal characters involved in "The Scarf" which begins on Monday.

Det.-Insp. Yates (Donald Pleasence)
In true Francis Durbridge tradition, "The Scarf" presents a fascinating problem of detection in a case which takes the Detective-Inspector from the country town of Littleshaw to the darker side of life in London, and in which the list of suspects is always open. Among those who must inevitably come under the careful scrutiny of the law in this case of murder are the six shown here - though next week may well bring additional complications...

Whodunit?
Clifton Morris (Stephen Murray)
Successful magazine publisher, with plenty of money, a flat in London, and two country houses, one of which is not far from the scene of the crime in Littleshaw.

Marian Hastings (Diana King)
Runs a dress shop in Littleshaw, and is engaged to Alistair Goodman. Claims to have been out of the country at the time of the crime.

Edward Collins (Patrick Troughton)
Brother of actress Fay Collins, the murdered girl - a polio victim who lives in Littleshaw and gives music lessons.

John Hopedean (Leo Britt)
A commercial artist who lives in Littleshaw with his wife, though is reputed to have been more than just a casual friend of Fay.

The Rev. Nigel Matthews (Lockwood West)
The pipe-smoking, Cambridge-educated Vicar of Littleshaw, who has come to know all the local inhabitants very well.

Alistair Goodman (Bryan Coleman)
The owner of Kingsbury Farm - a well-educated man in his late forties, engaged to Marian Hastings.
