Accidentally ran across this title on Ebay, and am wondering if anyone here has seen any episodes. Appears to be a UK tv series based on some Edgar Wallace
stories/characters.

A review from someone at IMDB:
The Mixer is both a crime drama and a charming spoof of the English cozy mystery genre. It is set in London in the 1930s and is about a not very rich member of Britain's upper class. He makes his money by stealing back stolen property.
Instead of stealing for personal gain, The Mixer finds stolen goods and monies, and then reunites them with their rightful owners. He is partnered with his valet, closer to the partnership of Lord Peter Wimsey and his valet Bunter than Bertie Wooster and Jeeves; with a bit of the seriousness of the first and the light humor of the second. Think of an honest (more or less) Raffles, a Raffles with a sense of humor.
Good writing, good acting, and superb costumes and sets make this series a must see for followers of the English cozy, period piece, mystery. If this were made in the USA, it would be rated PG-13 for a few adult situations, but nothing that kids cannot see on TV anyway. My 3-DVD boxed set is a keeper.
Description from Ebay:
The aristocratic, handsome gentleman with a secret identity Sir Anthony Rose (Williams) acts as a sort-of Robin Hood of stylish 1930s England as he duels his unique brand of justice amongst the crooks while eluding the police at every turn. An enormously popular British television drama based on the characters created by Edgar Wallace. Will the police ever reveal the Mixer's true identity? Includes 12 episodes: THE MIXER AND THE MISSING MILLION, THE MIXER'S MASTERPIECE, THE MIXER AND THE GRAND SCAM, THE MIXER AND THE DISTRESSED DIANE, THE MIXER TAKES THE ORIENT EXPRESS, THE MIXER AND THE FLYING ACE, THE MIXER AND THE FOUR SEASONS, THE MIXER AND THE GREAT CASINO SWINDLE, THE MIXER AND THE EIFFEL TOWER, THE MIXER AND THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, THE MIXER AND THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT and THE MIXER UNMASKED.
