civvies intro (1st on you-tube)

[sandletters39]

Jason Isaacs looked promising as Frank Dillon. Nowadays, he does look like as if he is on Civvy Street.

[nymphette6933]

That it - thats the tune I remember as a kid! My mum was mad on it & I think I remember I was too! Thank you so much...it's taken me years to find someone who remembers it :)

[markostaggo]

Could you download it plse?

[carlosUKsurrey]

ive been loooking for this on DVD for years, was the only programme i watched at home before i left. Lots of memories. Now, years later and no longer wearing a beret or uniform myself,it stands high in my list of things to revisit at some point. If anyone has a DVD version, let me know, would love to borrow!

[jamierobbo1]

ill always remember this series, it was one of the first things my mum would let me watch, im 28 now, big up my mum and big up bbc2. cant believe its never been repeated or gone to dvd,classic!!!!!

[blackusdogus]

I worked on one of the episodes of Civvies, cant remember which one now, it was a night shoot in Cardif, v. exciting, and I got to stay in a very nice hotel aswell! The cast were nice especially Jason issacs, Peter Howitt was that friendly though. Has this series been released on DVD does anyone know?

[maverickcat1]

look on ebay for Civvies

[madmunchy72]

[NEWDEAL01]

[alexanda1995]

[cranny01]

brilliant program paras rule whats the name ov the song at the intro?

[SCUTCHERBOY]

You don't get shows like this nowadays. BBC and ITV would sooner show shite like Bad Girls.

[ukpsyked]

Wow, fair play for posting this. Loved this series on the tv, such powerful stuff. Why they never released it on DVD I'll never know :(

[leedsunited90]

best ever series on tv,i would love to get hold of it.

[SHITBAGS69]

Dude, if you have ripped DVD's, why film it straight off the telly rather than upload a clip?

If you have the fight scene with Terry O'Neil, I'd love to see that
