Dixon lived here ..

Dixon lived here ..
Sunday Challenge 56 - numbers


My dad, at my eldest brother’s insistence - he was home on leave - rented a television for the wedding of Princess Margaret and from then on I was allowed to watch Dixon of Dock Green as it was considered wholesome enough for my innocent eyes and ears. (To be honest I much preferred listening to Radio Luxembourg despite the static from the old radiogram. Anyone else remember Horace Bachelor from Keynsham?)

Dixon of Dock Green was a BBC police procedural television series about daily life at a fictional London police station, Dock Green, with the emphasis on petty crime, successfully controlled through common sense and human understanding. Each episode ended with Dixon giving a little monologue, saluting to camera and saying “Goodnight All”. It ran from 1955 to 1976.

Jack Warner (Dixon) looked nothing like the cartoon character pictured here but the uniform is reminiscent of the one Warner wore in the series.

You're doing better than me, I can't remember any individual episodes tho' I can understand why that one stuck with you. I do remember his 'son-in-law' who was rather tasty looking ...

I hate dubbing too Edna - I'd rather have subtitles and actually hear the actors' voices.

I do remember staying with our close Dutch friends in the early 60s and going to the cinema to a film that was English with Dutch subtitles; we were laughing way in front of the rest of the audience and received a lot of stares!
