Lime Street Summary
Director: Raymond Austin
Genres: Mystery
Rating:
First telecast on September 21, 1985, the 2-hour pilot for the TV series Lime Street stars Robert_Wagner as James Greyson Culver, an investigator for a prestigious London insurance company. His assignment is to get to the bottom of a plot to assassinate the royal family of a British principality. With three successful previous series to his credit, Wagner was money in the bank to Lime Street, which at its inception seemed a shoe-in for a long run. But the series was doomed before its premiere by an unforeseen tragedy. Wagner's daughter was to have been played by Samantha_Smith, a young girl who'd risen to fame by writing a friendly letter to Soviet boss Yuri Andropov. Alas, just one month before the premiere of Lime Street, Smith was killed in a plane crash. Only four episodes of Lime Street had been filmed; out of respect for Samantha_Smith, star Robert_Wagner and the ABC network agreed to shut down production forever. Hal Erickson, Rovi
