The Broken Horseshoe (TV series)

The Broken Horseshoe was a British television series first aired by the BBC in 1952 featuring John Robinson, John Byron, Andrew Crawford and Robert Adair. A crime thriller series, the plot concerns a public-spirited doctor's involvement with a horse-doping gang after he protects a young woman who is a witness to a murder carried out by the syndicate. It was written by Francis Durbridge and aired in six half-hour parts on Saturday nights. It was the first thriller serial aired by the BBC.

The following year a film The Broken Horseshoe was made based on the series starring Robert Beatty.

The Broken Horseshoe was broadcast live, and never actually recorded. As with all the 1950s Francis Durbridge-based serials, no episodes survive.
