Thorndyke is a 1964 crime television series which originally aired on BBC 1 in six episodes from 3 October to 7 November 1964, following on from a pilot broadcast on 6 July as part of the anthology series. It is based on the novels and short stories by R. Austin Freeman featuring the detective Doctor Thorndyke, a pioneer in using forensic methods to solve cases. All six episodes presumably still exist, but they have not been made available to the public.
