Dial 999 (TV series)

Dial 999 is a British television series that ran for one series of 38 episodes from 1958 to 1959. The series was a co-production between ITV contractor ABC Weekend TV, and American television producer Ziv Television Programs.

It stars Robert Beatty as Canadian Mountie Mike Maguire, and follows his work fighting crime alongside London's police. Named after the emergency telephone number for the United Kingdom, Beatty was essentially reprising his role in the 1946 film Appointment with Crime, in which he played Detective Inspector Rogers, a Canadian police officer attached to Scotland Yard.

The show contrasted Beatty's muscular brand of policing with that of his British colleagues, but failed to sell to North American markets.

In 2021, Network DVD released the whole series on DVD in a five disc set.
