The Adventurer is an ITC Entertainment TV adventure series created by Dennis Spooner that ran for one season from 1972 to 1973. It premiered in the UK on 29 September 1972. The show starred Gene Barry as Gene Bradley, a government agent of independent means who poses as a glamorous American movie star.
A Region 2 DVD release of the show, which features interviews with Morse, Damon and Schell, is available from Network DVD. Barry refused to be interviewed, and other cast members accused him of being "short-tempered" and "egomaniacal". Morse nicely sums up the series in the DVD extras: "It wasn't the worst show ever made, but it certainly wasn't the best!"
