The Expert is a British television series produced by the BBC between 1968 and 1976.

The series starred Marius Goring as Dr. John Hardy, a pathologist working for the Home Office and was essentially a police procedural drama, with Hardy bringing his forensic knowledge to solve various cases.

The Expert was created and produced by Gerard Glaister. The series was also one of the first BBC dramas to be made in colour, and throughout its four series had numerous high quality guest appearances by actors such as John Carson, Peter Copley, Rachel Kempson, Peter Vaughan, Clive Swift, Geoffrey Palmer, Peter Barkworth, Jean Marsh, Ray Brooks, George Sewell, Anthony Valentine, Bernard Lee, Lee Montague, Geoffrey Bayldon, Mike Pratt, Edward Fox, André Morell, Brian Blessed, , Philip Madoc and Warren Clarke.

Most of the original master tapes of this show were wiped by the BBC. Although many episodes were later recovered on 16mm film, only one episode from the first series remains in the archives; the vast majority of series two and three also remain, and series four is complete.
