Synopsis:

Created by Michael J. Bird, the British drama series Who Pays the Ferryman? was set on the Mediterranean island of Crete. Jack Hedley starred as Alan Haldane, an Englishman returning to Crete after a 30-year absence. In his 'search for himself,' Haldane was not altogether pleased with what he found - nor were those islanders whom he'd left behind. The first of the series' eight episodes was telecast on November 7, 1977.
