Jack of Diamonds is a British comedy television series which originally aired on BBC in six half-hour episodes between 3 June and 15 July 1983.[1] It was produced as a loose sequel to the previous years's Legacy of Murder in which Emery had previously played the private detective Bernie Weinstock as well as various other roles similar to his work on The Dick Emery Show.[2] It was broadcast several months after Emery's death in January that year.
London-based private eye Weinstock and his partner Norman Lugg are drawn into the hunt for some diamonds stashed away in Holland by a British corporal during the Second World War. With both the police and criminals on their tail, the chase takes them to a country house in Worcestershire, Brighton Marina, Amsterdam and finally to a castle near Munich in Bavaria.
