Sidestreet is a Canadian television drama, which aired Sundays on CBC from 1975 to 1978. It stars Sean McCann and Donnelly Rhodes as police working in Toronto.
Background
[edit ]Sidestreet succeeded The Collaborators as the CBC's main series drama. Program developers aimed to move Sidestreet away from the violence that The Collaborators had by focusing on protagonists who were community service officers instead of ordinary detectives. They aimed to concentrate on issues such as: blockbusting, strikebreaking, rape, poverty, and the problems of the elderly in the city, instead of major crimes.
Cast
[edit ]- Stephen Markel as St. Johnny Dias (season 1)
- Sean McCann as Insp. Alec Woodward (season 1)
- Donnelly Rhodes as Nick Raitt (seasons 2-4)
- Jonathan Welsh as Glenn Olsen (seasons 2-4)
