The War of Darkie Pilbeam written by Tony Warren, produced by Richard Everitt, was first a 3-part period drama set in the North of England. It originally aired on British television in 1968.
The title character, Darkie Pilbeam, a none too successful petty crook, managed to rise to the top of his profession by running a profitable black-market operation. Inevitably, Pilbeam's world crashed and burned, but it was fun while it lasted.
The series was shown in three episodes titled:
⁕Phase I - September 1939
⁕Phase II - June 1942
⁕Phase III - August 1945
