We didn't get a telly until around 1960 when I was 5 and Dixon of Dock Green is an early memory. I was fascinated by Andy and many years later I too was in the CID. I would like to think I shared the values shown in this series. Such a shame things have changed so much in the world.
Aye. 3 generations of us watched this on a old pam tv and only had bbc1 till much later on 1979's with border . Sat night ment . Bath. Tea. Dixon of dock green and then to bed. Lovely memorie .
What memories, with Jack Warner, you always felt you were in safe hands. ..the music of DIXON OF DOCK GREEN, wonderful....take me back to the fifties.....hello .sarge!! 👏👏👏👏👏
In c.1936,Jack lived in a flat in Swiss Cottage and was having problems with a noisy typewriter next door ! So he knocked on the door and politely complained-the neighbor was to become of of his best friends-script writer Jack Day who emigrated to S.Rhodesia in 1948-Warner visited him a few times to be guest of honor at the Lancashire and Yorkshire society dinners in Salisbury. I later met Day who ran a weekly radio 78 records show,Thanks for the Memory-after the Bob Hope famous song.
“The Hot Seat,” Season 7, Episode 3, aired 15 October 1960. Jack Warner as P.C. George Dixon, Peter Byrne as Det. Sgt. Andy Crawford, Jeanette Hutchinson (as Jeannette Hutchinson) as Mary Crawford, Moira Mannion as WP Sgt. Grace Millard, Kenneth J. Warren as Ames, Patricia Salonika as Joyce, Graham Ashley as Det. Con. Tommy Hughes, Geoffrey Adams as P.C. Lauderdale, David Webster as Cadet Jamie MacPherson, Arthur Rigby as Station Sgt. Flint, William Mervyn as Bruce Treadgold, Richard Statman as Henri, Peter Elliott as Cordeau, Elizabeth Broom as Cloakroom Attendant, Joseph Levine as First Gendarme, and Henry Rayner as Second Gendarme.
I was nine years old when this was first aired on television. I will be seventy three in two weeks time. Television then was far nicer than it is today. I was born and raised in Feltham Middlesex (now surrey) and moved at the age of twenty one to live in Florida USA. Jack Warner portrayed the true and now extinct character of the British people of that time. Today to live in London one needs to learn Urdu in order to fit in. So, so sad.
I remember watching Dixon on our little black & white TV when my parents & I lived in Glasgow's old Gorbals. It was often very foggy & going out walking at night meant you would have difficulty seeing! That was in 1962 when I was 5 years old! The people then were delightful, friendly & generous. My dad, like most others of his generation, was in the army throughout World War II.
I used to love this series - Jack Warner was a very good actor and was already 65 in 1960. I hadn't realised that the BBC budget was high enough to shoot on location in Paris.
@@highpath4776 Yes the Saint used to rely on plastic palm trees and a background painting or picture. I've had another look at some of the footage and I am unsure. The close-up shots are Jack Warner, but some of the longer shots where you see him walking around Paris could be anybody apart from the same hat
@@highpath4776 Yes would have been much simpler than trying to find stock footage of a group of 4 walking around. Hopefully they all had a great time because going abroad would have been a bit of a treat in 1960
I love and still enjoy his TV programs, comes across as a very good Man. Certainly a gem of a person. He will be back in the resurrection, looking for that Day to come. Soon!
Yeah,they got the confidence team that was out try to trick them out of their money while they were on holiday but they still had a nice time on the trip and got the crooks,very good show!!!!!

***** Nothing. This wasn't reality, it was cosy british television. The Sweeney gave the public a shock by showing how the old bill really behaved...(i.e. closer to the violent criminals they dealt with, at least in a big city like london). This was more like country policing where not much went on. Don't forget, in 1960 corruption amongst officers was at its height allowing gangs like the krays and the richardsons to do what they wanted and not get charged. And police brutality, bigotry and all other sorts came with all that...There were more armed police in London then than there are now, and more extortion and violent robberies...
Dav Dinneen I agree with Neil S. It may not have been true to life in London in the 50's but who cares really. I grew up in the East End during those times and it was not a bad place to live. Nostalgia , escapism .These programmes reflect T.V at the time. Great and enjoyed it all.
THIS IS FRANCE THEY DON'T CARE.... ON A ROCKY BULLWINKLE SHOW IT'S FROM FRANCE... PKG... BULLWINKLE OH HEAVENS NO THIS IS A FAMILY SHOW 😆...... OUI Y'ALL...... Weed Me
More like an advert to travel to France however Paris is not the same today in 2018 because of all this mass immigration parts of France is unrecognizable today the french culture is being destroyed. A guy would not pick up a child in the street today as depicted in the show because the chances are he would most likely get arrested those were innocent days long gone.
Q: I wonder, with police , where does Loyalty end and duty begin? PC Pratt goes off duty and goes upstairs to find Toddie (his son) shooting up on heroine. And goes into the other room and finds Fanny (his Daughter) selling the stuff!! Now, seeing both there lives going down the drain. What next??? this , by the way is just an Example. It's not a situation that every father would like to face. especially a Copper.

Jack Warner RIP! A legend of British TV!
He certainly was.
O.M.G takes me right back 2 my childhood, sitting with my Mum & Dad in front of a cosy coal fire, watching Dixon..Memories Memories
Yes, me too. It was a highlight of the week! Six Five Special was another one later on I think. "Coming down the line, tra la tra la...."
+Ann Brown and earlier wasn't it juke box jury, yes remember it well
+rex banner Yes, so much enjoyment on a Saturday night without leaving home!
and me with my nan
harold of cardboard, I was in bits after reading your comment. This was my Gran’s favourite.
God be with the days when I watched this wonderful show in the 60s with my mum and sister every Saturday night.
Yes @Gina Bideau this was my childhood every Saturday night how blessed I was. They definitely don't make them like this anymore. ❤
This is my sentimental journey - Thank you so very much. 🎉❤🎉❤
In Notre Damme there is the oldest window that is completely out of reach, in which is still out out of reach many centuries years old 😮.
Good story, but their clothes should've told the difference n their n come.

loved a watched it every sat tea time. still love the tune today. a 8 inch screen and one channel bbc.

I grew up watching this and loved so much. In 1960 I was 5 but I remember watching this every week.
What memories, with Jack Warner, you always felt you were in safe hands. ..the music of DIXON OF DOCK GREEN, wonderful....take me back to the fifties.....hello .sarge!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Originally they used "Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner" but it was considered too metropolitan and replaced by this tune.
Some of my earliest memories as a very young child was watching this show with my parents. I was born in 1956.
In c.1936,Jack lived in a flat in Swiss Cottage and was having problems with a noisy typewriter next door ! So he knocked on the door and politely complained-the neighbor was to become of of his best friends-script writer Jack Day who emigrated to S.Rhodesia in 1948-Warner visited him a few times to be guest of honor at the Lancashire and Yorkshire society dinners in Salisbury.

OMG what happy family memories just flood back.... Thank you.
What a lovely piece of memorabilia.
Going back to my childhood.
Wonderful series. Jack Warner really owned the part of PC George Dixon. Thanks ever so much for posting.
Thank you SO much for posting this memorable programme.
Great series
Gary..this so takes me back to my childhood...Thank you so much for sourcing this and uploading it :)
Wonderful series from my youth. Great to revisit.
Great episode. Loved the night shots of Paris. The place looked like it was hopping.

Watched this every Saturday Night with my grandparents - seems so long ago but the memories ❤️

Stock footage and backstage lot like The saint was ?
@@highpath4776 Yes the Saint used to rely on plastic palm trees and a background painting or picture.
I've had another look at some of the footage and I am unsure. The close-up shots are Jack Warner, but some of the longer shots where you see him walking around Paris could be anybody apart from the same hat
@@ewaf88 Given the amount of place name dropping the BBC was prob funded by the Paris Tourist Board and a Freebie trip.
@@highpath4776 Yes would have been much simpler than trying to find stock footage of a group of 4 walking around.
Hopefully they all had a great time because going abroad would have been a bit of a treat in 1960
I think Jack Warner was 80 in the last episode, incredible.
I love and still enjoy his TV programs, comes across as a very good Man. Certainly a gem of a person. He will be back in the resurrection, looking for that Day to come. Soon!
I remember watching this on tv many years ago
My beloved Jack Warner they don't come better than him.
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant
Enjoyable episode: Jack Warner, a reliable actor who often "suffered" (from) being confused with his namesake at Warner Bros.
Apparently it happened the other way around at least once!
I keep saying how wonderfully preserved these films are
But it's true
Nice bit of nostalgia. At times I wasn't sure if I was watching Jack Warner or Judith Chalmers! That episode had more padding than a straight jacket!
That made me laugh! I was thinking the exact same thing while I watching it.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
Outstanding episode!
Damn this takes me back to when I was a kid :)
Yeah,they got the confidence team that was out try to trick them out of their money while they were on holiday but they still had a nice time on the trip and got the crooks,very good show!!!!!
Must have blown the BBC OB budget that year! What a unique episode.

A "busman's holiday." Love it.
That music intro has been in my mind for 60 years.
👺😂😂😂😂👌🏽🔺️👁🔺️🇬🇧
A Caddy in 1960. Gor blimey - who'd have believed it...!
William Mervyn who plays a crook in this episode played Chief Inspector Hammond in " The Blue Lamp" the movie that started the whole "Dixon" saga.
he also played an ex inspector in mr rose investigates,i think there r some episodes uploaded on youtube,great stuff ,worth a look
Nice to see Jack Warner.and.Peter Byrne
Thankyou.I loved it. Cheers
"enough tongue for two sets of teeth" (never heard that one before)
1:53...the Biggles style moustache!
25 mins in. Fancy that, someone called Jack Warner involved with a suitcase of money and travel tickets.
This particular episide was sponsored by the French Tourist Board! Nice freebee for Jack Warmer and a few others no doubt.
Thus explaining Dixon saying 'wonderful [French] this' and 'fantastic [French] that'
Oh, paris ad it used to be. Memories of times gone by. this posted 2024.
Thorouhly entertaining thank you
I love the theme tune!
That madee me feel like it was Saturday night.
It used to be on Saturday evening in 50s 60s and 70s
I do remember France in the early 1960's and no way would the bathroom/Toilet in a cheap hotel been so clean and tidy hahaha.
Funny how the villians were always Aussies (The Sweeny had similar con men in the 1970s !)
I never saw George having so much fun as when he and Andy engage in creative badinage to avoid saying they're policemen! 😉
I wish I had been born before 1960 liek for instance born in the 50s instead at the end of the 60s
👀
Mmm, Paris in 1960, just look at it now in December 2018.
When this was filmed, Jack Warner was in his eightys, I. E. YEARS.
Britain as it used to be. What went wrong?
Absolutely! Have a look at my FB Page - Ann Brown Weedon Bec. I left a comment on there the other day about the world today.
Islam
***** Yes, even if it wasn't true to life, people believed it was, and that inspired them to be better people.
***** Nothing. This wasn't reality, it was cosy british television.
The Sweeney gave the public a shock by showing how the old bill really behaved...(i.e. closer to the violent criminals they dealt with, at least in a big city like london). This was more like country policing where not much went on. Don't forget, in 1960 corruption amongst officers was at its height allowing gangs like the krays and the richardsons to do what they wanted and not get charged. And police brutality, bigotry and all other sorts came with all that...There were more armed police in London then than there are now, and more extortion and violent robberies...

1960, when England was more ENGLISH than it will ever again be.....
The script writers must have been taking a week off. More a travelogue than an episode of Dixon of Dock Green.
ACE ! 100%
Note to sef just seen this episode 11/1917.
My grandad used to get mistaken for Jack Warner
Thanks for the post.
I wonder: Were the two parts filmed 4-years apart?
{part 1/2 date, 1956; part 2/2 date, 1960}.
Ah, those were the days: when Paris was black and white.
THIS IS FRANCE
THEY DON'T CARE....
ON A ROCKY BULLWINKLE SHOW
IT'S FROM FRANCE...
PKG... BULLWINKLE
OH HEAVENS NO THIS IS A FAMILY SHOW 😆...... OUI
Y'ALL......
Weed Me
I downloaded this
I wish the police were like this nowdays
ENOUGH TONGUE FOR TWO SETS OF TEETH!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏾⬛️⬜️🤫🔺️👁🔺️🇬🇧
Nice traveloge
More like an advert to travel to France however Paris is not the same today in 2018 because of all this mass immigration parts of France is unrecognizable today the french culture is being destroyed. A guy would not pick up a child in the street today as depicted in the show because the chances are he would most likely get arrested those were innocent days long gone.
LOLZ!!!!!
How nice not to see Romanies begging nor Africans selling model Eiffel Towers.
you seem nice
Really how coppers acted
Are coppers, as posh as this, now-a-days ?
+OoYesIKnowOoYesIKnow No but there masters are and you serfs vote them in.
EVEN POSHER!!!!👺🤫🔺️👁🔺️🇬🇧
Wonderful. Great characterization, interesting plot. Most enjoyable. TY.
Q: I wonder, with police , where does Loyalty end and duty begin?
PC Pratt goes off duty and goes upstairs to find Toddie (his son) shooting up
on heroine. And goes into the other room and finds Fanny (his Daughter) selling the stuff!! Now, seeing both there lives going down the drain. What next??? this , by the way is just an Example. It's not a situation that every father would like to face. especially a Copper.
I guess the copper is supplying. He really needs to have a word with Toddie about dipping into the goods.
not a realistic portrayal of policing in the early 60s.
0:37
A.C.A.B.
Old codger Dixon couldn’t fight his way out of a crisp packet, honestly, a pensioner in a coppers uniform indeed.
65 is NOT A 'PENSIONER'. idiot!.
