One of them was the first time we saw Eli, in Jaws. And in The Black Widow, just as Foggy was entering a pub, everyone rushed out, scared to death as Eli had gone up to the dartboard.

There were four series - 22 episodes (including a pilot broadcast 28 July 1977) - broadcast on ITV, from 20 February 1978 to 15 February 1981. Season 3 in 1980 only had 3 episodes, they were repeated in August 1981. No other repeats...
