Sergeant Cork is a British detective television series that first aired from 1963 to 1968 on ITV. It was a police procedural show that followed the efforts of two police officers and their fight against crime in Victorian London. A total of 66 hour-long episodes were aired during the five-year run, although the final episode was not broadcast until January 1968, 16 months after the others. Journalist Tom Sutcliffe credited it as an early example of the Victorian-era policeman in a television crime series. A 1969 review in The Age suggested that rather than suspense, the strengths of the series were its "excellent period settings and wonderfully thick pea-soupers" which "add up to splendid evocative stuff", as well as the performance of star John Barrie. At no point during the entire series is Sergeant Cork's first name revealed.
