Adam Adamant Lives!

Adam Adamant

Georgina Jones

William E. Simms

In the series' original pilot episode the part of Georgie was played by Ann Holloway. Although elements of the pilot were used in the existing opening instalment, there is currently no known copy of this untransmitted edition in existence.

The series suffered from the BBC's lack of a proper archiving policy until 1978. It was BBC policy before 1978 to wipe master tapes and reuse them for other programmes, hence saving money and storage space. Twelve episodes out of the twenty-nine made for this series are believed to no longer exist. Season 1 is almost complete with only one episode missing (Ticket to Terror), whilst Season 2 is almost completely missing with only two episodes surviving (Black Echo and A Sinister Sort of Service). In 2003, D for Destruction, the Season 1 finale episode, was recovered from the BBC in a mislabeled film can. It was previously an episode thought not to exist.

Noted comedy writer Dick Vosburgh supplied, uncredited, ex-vaudevillian Simms' array of limericks throughout the series.
