Ahh the good olde 70's eh...Where children get abandoned then returned home... "The ITV programme came about in 1962 when Lew Grade, then running the London weekend commercial TV station, wanted a six-week filler to plug a five-minute hole in his schedules. Within two weeks it was obvious that Police 5 and Taylor were going to be a successful combination. Two of the three cases covered in the first programme were solved as a result of information supplied by viewers: a stolen car used as a getaway vehicle was recovered, and abandoned baby twins were returned to their parents".
