Old action-adventure shows from the 60s, I suppose. Mission: Impossible and The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Avengers and the various ITC productions and so on. They wouldn't lend themselves to having series-long storylines but they're the sort of things that would have a overarching season-long story if they were produced today and I think that would suit them.

Of course, all those old Lew Grade shows - The Champions, The Saint, Department S, Man In a Suitcase - would be crossing over with each other as well.
