Thanks for this, great fun although I don't think I saw this episode back then. Does anyone else remember CB featuring in "One Foot In The Grave"? I think Victor Meldrew's handle may have been "Dry Rot".
I'd forgotten this episode of T & J. However, I do remember that Eddie Yeats from Coronation Street met his girlfriend (later wife) on the CB when he was a dustman. I think his handle was 'Slim Jim' and hers was 'Stardust Lil'.
You get the feeling these days that the BBC just make "comedy shows (usually just left wing stand ups spouting bad langauage or playing quizzes that have been scripted to within an inch of their lives) for Keir Starmer (the man who doesn't know the difference between a biological woman and a man in a dress) and his bunch of sensitive pansies. They would sneer at shows like this, but take seriously the vile Eddie "treat me like a laydee") Izzard, and the puerile Paul Merton on Have I Go News For you?

In a sitcom Good times there is an episode called breaker breaker then we had shows like the dukes of hazzards they use CB radios in that show all the time moving on BJ and the Bear and in Hollywood the big screen everyone knows convoy and smoking in the bandit
Great sitcom that. June Whitfield not been gone all that long. I got my first CB radio in 1991, planet 2000. Never been without CB ever since. It's a great tool and also a good hobby. Unfortunately I probably have too many now...... However, we all need a spare, right😁? Good video.

Great bit of history. I bet lots of people got Amstrads. The funny thing is, all this snowflake offended and cancel culture stuff isn't actually real. People worry that people will be offended even though mostly nobody has been. 73s M7TUD
I had an old school one like Terry had at home. Maybe even what I had had more knobs on it. 2nd hand. 90's. A new one of the time. smaller, in the car. all gone now. amateur radio unit in the car now. That's all/ Nothing at home.

That been on reruns, Seen that, might be 25 years ago but have.
Dempsey and Makepeace in the later episodes used a big Ham radio i think in the office, and it showed the band they were on, i think way too low for Police in those days? and some shots they are talking on the radio and its not on.

Yes he jogged my memory 😎👍

That's some collection !!
I wonder how many uk 27/81 types of cb radios were made? Must of been in the hundreds.
It was indeed
Haha I watched this when it was first broadcast, and yes, there indeed was a Rotel 240 under the tree... 40 years later I still have it!
Absolutely right with factual nature of the CB x Police crossover... would be like trying to ring home on your calculator.
I'm watching this with my rotel rvc 240 on.
There may be a resurgence in cb thanks to "stranger things" on Netflix as the main cast of kids use a realistic 3 band CB to chat to each other!
