"Midnight Caller" (1988-1991) - underrated TV drama starring Gary Cole

Someone else who watched the show's original UK airing will know, but I have a very vague memory of seeing a bit of what may have been the very last episode of Midnight Caller (the concluding part of a three-part story),

[Show spoiler]where someone is stalking Jack inside the radio studio.

I think the original UK airing was on the BBC, but I could well be wrong. What I do remember for sure, was that the first season had a late-night repeat run on the main ITV channel. Unfortunately, I didn't see a lot of the episodes, but I do remember seeing two episodes in their entirety and a bit of the one where Jack is broadcasting inside a prison.

The two episodes I saw in full, were "Baby Chase" (the guest star I remember in it was veteran actor William Schallert), and the season finale "Blues for Mr. Charlie" (in which veteran actor Harold Gould guest starred as the owner of a corner-shop who was being targeted by a robber).

As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been a repeat run of the show since that late-night repeat run on the main ITV channel (got to be more than a decade ago).

Original airings were definitely on the Beeb.

It was also aired on Sky One in the mid 90s.

I'd love to see this show again.

I thought that was the case. Nearly had a doubt (thinking it originally aired on a non-BBC channel).

We could really do with some channels showing underappreciated (and underrated) shows like Midnight Caller (especially a channel showing just Lorimar series).

Like with The Equalizer, would like to see a thorough, reference book written about Midnight Caller.
