The War of Darkie Pilbeam written by Tony Warren, produced by Richard Everitt, was first a 3-part period drama set in the North of England. It originally aired on British television in 1968.

The title character, Darkie Pilbeam, (Trevor Bannister), a none too successful petty crook, managed to rise to the top of his profession by running a profitable black-market operation. Inevitably, Pilbeam's world crashed and burned, but it was fun while it lasted.

The series was shown in three episodes titled:

  • Phase I – September 1939
  • Phase II – June 1942
  • Phase III – August 1945
