In 1906 actor Fred Ginnett wrote and starred in the film "Dick Turpin's Last Ride to York". "Dick Turpin's Ride to York" is a 1922 British historical silent film drama directed by Maurice Elvey, the first feature-length film of the story. It was for many years assumed by film historians to be completely lost, but two reels were rediscovered in 2003. Other silent versions appeared for the silver screen, and some adaptations even moulded Turpin into a figure styled on Robin Hood. Sid James appeared as Turpin in the 1974 Carry On film "Carry On Dick" and LWT cast Richard O'Sullivan as Turpin in their eponymous series "Dick Turpin".
