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.

I remember Horace Bachelor from Keynsham he was to do with Football Pools somehow or other.

Remember Dixon well enough too, the pace of life was much gentler back then.

Thanks for jogging my memories

Dear old Horace from K E Y N S H A M!!!

And it seems indeed a different gentler world, but it was also the Cold War, presidential assassinations etc, - perhaps it was us just being kids ...
