What happens
Adam Adamant Lives! is a British adventure television series that ran from 1966 to 1967 on BBC1, starring Gerald Harper in the title role. The series was created and produced by several alumni from Doctor Who. The titular character was an adventurer born in 1867, who had been revived from hibernation in 1966, thus offering a satirical look at life in the 1960s through the eyes of a Victorian. In 2020, Big Finish Productions reimagined the series as a Radio drama. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
