Das ganz grosse Ding
This was a programme broadcast in 1966 on German television (no information on the precise date or channel). Victor Canning is given as the author of the novel which was the source. The cast list includes the following character names:
- Gerald Bennett and Dickie Gray (played by the same actor)
- Jimmy Warren
- Grace Harman
- Kennworthy
- Marty and Flora Fowler
- Carla Gray
- Phillips
- Garrett
- Nicky
No published novel by Canning contains a set of characters with corresponding names. It is possible that the source was a novella written for newspaper serial publication, or perhaps that it did not come from a novel but from one of the now lost TV serials that Canning wrote for the BBC and Rediffusion in the 1960s. There is no similarity to Canning's The great affair.
