Wagon Train (1957-65) The epitome of the classic television Western from the genre’s golden age, Wagon Train was hugely popular on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to its mix of action and character study, plus top-notch guest stars including John Wayne and Bette Davis.
The television Western was no less popular in the UK and indeed worldwide.
Deadwood (2004-06) Taking revisionism to a whole new level and winner of eight Emmys, Deadwood revitalised the television Western while scandalising purists.
Maverick (1957-62) The series in which James Garner honed his affable laid-back persona as gambler and conman Bret Maverick.
