@@zoyablake9538 Norman Bowler (born 1932) wasn't much younger than Frank Windsor (born 1928) and Stratford Johns (born 1925) but he looked like their son.
And the theme ….that beautiful riff and bass notes I seem to remember it was based on a traditional hymn I loved this show I’m 69 now. Yes it’s a bit stilted with a lot of cutaway scenes but we loved Inspector Barlow
Dead Aboard, Season 5, Episode 5, aired 9 October 1969. Stratford Johns as Det. Chief Supt. Charles Barlow; Frank Windsor as Det. Chief Insp. John Watt; Philip Brack as Det. Insp. Jim Cook; Peggy Sinclair as PW Det. Sgt. Barbara Allin; Norman Bowler as Det. Sgt. Harry Hawkins; Salvin Stewart as Insp. Kenworth; Edward Clayton as PC Oates; Howard Lang as Captain Donaldson; Frederick Peisley as Johnson; Leon Eagles as Jim Mason; John Sterland as Patrick; Frank Mills as Bob Mason; Michael Elwyn as Oliver; Nat Pearn as Gregg; Dorothy Frere as Mrs. Prince; Robert Flynn as Smith; Annette Simone as Carol Ransom.
John Watt didn't have much luck with women. His first wife left him, expecting another man's child, and they divorced. He should have married Barbara as they clearly have a soft spot for one another and are on the same wavelength but, instead, he married that feminist doctor and they clearly weren't suited😟
I watched the Episode in the sixties with great pleasure and nowaday again. Bay the way i am german
A true nostalgia trip,,Many many heartfelt thanks 👏👏👏🇬🇧
This is a pleasant surprise. Rarely get to see a pre-Task Force episode. And lots of John Barron goodness. Many thanks.
Thank-you, I really enjoyed that. The best of the four "Softly, Softly" episodes posted here.
Thanks…oh the memories, my mum worked for the CID in the same period. I knew lots of the Sweeny….we could do with them now.
Indeed we could!!
I like the episodes which, as well as having gritty story-lines, explore the relationships between the characters, especially Barlow and Watt .
Great actors EXCELLENT tv 📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺
This was the first episode of "Softly Softly" shown in my life. I was born on 3rd October 1969. My mother was wild on "Harry Hawk"!
Me, too! I thought he was gorgeous!

@@tonysadler5290 who is "he"?
Oh hell! I can work the prices out. Only the Zimmer frame left 😪
For whatever the reason, this woud be the only film credit for Carol Ransom (Annette Simone),
Telly the way it used to be before HD,
They changed the Theme music. They changed the opening credits. The whole feal is different.
Moonraker-- here you go 007 :)

BARLOW IS GREAT
Cap'n Baines!
Does any know what this flag represents, an upside down union flag with some sort of symbol in the middle?
I think the poster was/ is a punk
A rather abrupt ending.
Why is the union flag upside-down?
Anachronistic Anarchist perhaps?
Why is it there at all?
@Gary Woods An unecesery distraction.
Because most people don't know that it can be, especially the morons who fly it like that outside their houses.
