Makes you realise how good the police were back then, look at them, hands on, stuck into anything, tow rope on the Range Rover, climbing on the barriers to clear snow, don't see that now, can't see a BMW X5 doing what the Range Rovers did either. They just seemed to get on with it, this should be necessary viewing for all trainee traffic police.
Apart from the cars being as solid as a bean can, look how much better it was then, coppers not afraid to call a member of the public an idiot when they were, even the public were more civil and approachable and had Respect for the coppers...... just shows how backward we are now , the irony,,,,, thanks that was a good watch
When coppers were proper coppers and used common sense, and nobody wanted to sue them for sneezing. I used that stretch every day for 11 years and, the night it was closed by heavy snow on the top I was stuck on it for hours. Some of the scenes they cleared in minutes would have the motorway shut in both directions for three days now. They need a full shift to do the risk assessment before they can get out of the car. As for the mighty Range Rover or the Defender, what a sorry state JLR has become. Today it's nothing but a footballers wifes posh handbag carrier. JLR should be made to study this film to make them realise how they've Destroyed the best 4x4 there ever was.
A time when traffic police were a welcome sight. Doing what they did and no health and safety, just did what needed doing. The police of today could learn a lot from these guys. I remember that winter and man was it bad. Schools were shut as the heating wouldn't work, no buses, no milk, total chaos...and guess what, we got through it. The younger generation these days would be clueless.
Back in the days when men were men and range rovers were range rovers, cant we turn the clock back and go back to normality, brilliant

Brilliant stuff. Not one copper shouting "I need you to calm down" when everyone is perfectly calm.
Pulling a jack knifed wagon with two range rovers in the snow,,,class. Jamie davis would need 3. Wreckers for that lol.
The coppers were a different breed back then
Old school coppers can’t beat them and never will hats off to you guys
Running policemen, using common sense, hurrying to do the job. How far we have fallen
Biblical weather, mischievous horses and crap drivers are no match for blunt northern coppers with epic facial hair and the mighty Range Rover. 👌👌👌
love the Yorkshie man fluent in German...cant stop watching this. its my childhood..its everything I love
Best film I’ve seen is this, it’s so atmospheric it just seemed a different time back then.
I was six when this first aired. And yes I had the Corgi Police Range Rover model. What a brilliant piece of nostalgia.
This is pure social history and absolutely fascinating :)
That's a superb bit of telly.
Lovely stuff. I was 8 when this was filmed. The cars, the audio values, the snow, skating rozzers....what a brilliant video!
Best thing I’ve watched for ages. My dad was a firefighter from 1978 to 2008, great to see the yellow leggings again!
Hour long Range Rover advert!
That wasn't what I expected from this film. Absolute bedlam from start to finish!
