Orlando is a British young adult detective thriller series transmitted for four series between 1965–1968. Produced by Associated-Rediffusion for ITV, it stars Sam Kydd in the title role, which he reprises from the adult television series Crane. Orlando O'Connor is an ex-Foreign Legionnaire who has picked up a magic talisman, the 'Gizzmo'. Following the dissolution of his boat building firm, he travels to London's Docklands to meet an old Navy comrade Tony, seeking work, only to find Tony has been killed. He links up with siblings David and Jenny, who have inherited a detective agency from their uncle. Of the 76 produced episodes, only four are believed to survive.
After financial troubles at the boat yard, Orlando decides to move onto pastures anew and try to find his old army friend. His quest takes him into a dangerous world, but he befriends a sister and brother private detective team.
