Bloody hell - Jack Warner must have been in his eighties at least when this was done.

that opening tune inspired the guitar chorus to Suede's 'Animal Nitrate'

Jack seems to have been promoted by this time; he used to start the show with his mono logue resplendent in full 'Bobby' uniform with tall hat on.Try explaining this show to todays kids.These are the days cops & public could 'clip' a naughty or cheeky kid in the street & parents would back them up ; now youre in court as a child abuser while kids kick decent people to death for no reason & get a tap on the wrist !!

@LeonardHatred2 - You are right. Jack was 81 when he retired from that role. He was 85 when he passed away. I've got a few autographed photos of Jack, including his wonderful autobiography. I remember when uniformed coppers were like him, and CID were like Gene Hunt. Oh, happy days!

@bgibb101 It reminds me of cosy Saturday teatimes, sitting down to eat our tea and watching Dixon of Dox Green. Sadly, my dad passed away last October, but my childhood memories always remain.

@Feisty1967 - Almost like a lost world, isn't it? I rmember this show too, but now live in Canada. Here in Calgary there are over 200 ex-UK coppers working here. Thanks to Blair's 13 year mis-rule of the UK and the politically correct madness he has left behind, even our coppers are beating it!

I remember watching Dixon of Dock Green as a child, lovely warm memories, eating my tea with mum and dad and watching this show.

@kenfig If you ask people when they'd rather be around (who were around in that era), most would choose then rather than now. There was more trust, more respect, decency and more freedom to say and do the right thing rather than what you're told.

@334286 Well people get more and more politically correct and it breeds more,so that everyone looks over their shoulders through fear of being labeled THIS or labeled THAT or Witch hunted by Matthew Hopkins,Witchfinder General ! Musnt have a Golliwog or it's 'racist' even when black kids loved them as well ; people only think things are bad when theyre TOLD theyre bad so if someone tells people 'The Black & White Minstrels Show' is 'racist' people will get on their high horse and ban it etc !

@kenfig Too right, too right. We're living in an insane asylum today. Everything's backwards, upside down and inside out. We need to return to God (common sense) before everything collapses into a heap.

animal nitrate!

@LeonardHatred2 I know that even when he made The Blue Lamp in 1950 he was too old to be a serving police constable.
