Old Kids TV series - William Franklyn?

[Susan Wade]

Does anyone remember a kids' adventure/thriller series from late 1960s/early 1970s - (I think) it had a geeky boy with glasses and a girl amd the baddy was played by William Franklyn (or someone who looked very similar).

Just realised it was Timeslip!

In that series it was John Barron who you were thinking of. However, this post has bugged me because William franklyn was in a kids TV series made by Southern in the late sixties/seventies, and I can't recall the name. Unfortunately, it's not listed in his bio on imdb but it was him because I knew him from the Schh... ads. It was like some kind of adventure/ mystery show with kids as the hero's. If anyone remembers the name I'd be grateful.

Freewheelers, Tom Owen son of Bill and lately in Last of sUMMER WINE, was in it, and as i recall someone called gregory hines, my mate at school Sue had a big crush on him, the girl i am not 100% sure on, i think she was in another show a few years later where she was bringing up her brother and sister. it was about 1967/8 i think, i was in 2nd year grammar .
