For many people Modesty Blaise is probably most familiar from the rather unrepresentative and comedic 1960s film starring Monica Vitti. In truth Modesty Blaise was a rather more down-to-earth action heroine from the early 1960s, self-assured in a way that feels extremely modern today. Described a little reductively by some as a female James Bond, it nonetheless feels like the best available description for the character - especially when you remember that she first appeared some years before Diana Rigg had brought Emma Peel to the television screen. Anyway, the BBC produced an occasional sequence of adventures for Modesty, adapting the original novels, and beginning in 2012 with 'A Taste for Death'. This was followed by an adaptation of her first adventure in 2014, and a third adventure in 2017.
