For those of you who remember this western series from the 70's ITV 4 is re showing the series from 6pm Thursday beginning with the feature film length 1st episode, recommended if you've not seen it.
There's a sad postscript to this series in that the actor who plays Hannibal Heyes ( Pete Duel) changes half way thru because Duel tops himself in real life.

Was it loosely based on Butch Cassidy and Robert Redford?

Yes he shot himself in the head ......he was replaced by Roger Jones ,the guy who did the narrative in the opening credits, it was not quite the same afterwards , well worth another look.ITV 4 ? Surely it used to be on BBC 2 ? |

Yes it was , I'm sure " Hannibal Heyes " was a fictional character , but " Kid Curry " existed , he was not by all accounts the mild mannered individual portrayed by Ben Murphy , but a cold blooded killer who was a gunfighter / bank robber and much more . |
