Send Foster is a 1967 British children's television series created by Rediffusion London for ITV.
Johnny Foster is a junior reporter for the Reston Chronicle. His editor, Arthur Harding sends Johnny on assignment that vary from light-hearted where he gets involved in the local pop music scene, to socially significant when Johnny visits an amateur dramatic club where he learns his stories have effects on people and makes him question his conscience. A notably episode tackling racial inequality saw Johnny going undercover as a waiter to expose a colour bar in Redstone.
Hayward Morse said of his character, Johnny Foster.
As a cub reporter he gets sent on all the so-called dull jobs. But they often turn into really big stories. He runs a 1932 Morris which is the love of his life. That's been the hardest part for me personally. It's meant I've had to learn to drive.
Victor Pemberton got his start as a writer on Send Foster.
