Hannay was a 1988 spin-off from the 1978 film version of John Buchan's novel The Thirty-Nine Steps.
Again starring Robert Powell as the title character (and hero of the Buchan novel) Richard Hannay, an Edwardian mining engineer from South Africa of Scottish origin, the series told the story of his adventures in the Great Britain of 1915. These stories had little in common with John Buchan's novels about the character, although some character names are taken from his other novels.
There were two series, the first with six episodes, the second with seven.
One episode, A Point of Honour, was based on a story of the same name by Dornford Yates that appeared in his 1914 book The Brother of Daphne, although Yates was not credited.
Another episode used a plot device from the Leslie Charteris Saint story The Unblemished Bootlegger, from the 1933 book The Brighter Buccaneer, again uncredited.
