I remember this scene vividly. The guys burning to their own death and the next door neighbour trying to get some sleep despite the horribly loud music.
People say I'm paranoid because if I go somewhere (mainly overnight) I always check to see if/where (and working) the smoke alarms are and where the fire exit is. Still if it means peace of mind then I don't really mind what people think about me.
Ive got ocd obsessive compulsive disorder yes i get paranoid to you cant be to careful i turn of things not in use at my parents house and unplug them anything that is electrically
Because of health and safety reasons its to much of a nanny state now. Has i kid i was told not to talk to strangers not to put things in my mouth i didnt know. there was a tv advert on in mid 1980s telling you not to put drain cleaner in cola bottles not to go near ponds rivers fires. I cant remember the name of the advert or who was in it but it was really good. You dont get things like this on tv now. I remember watching londons burning in 1988 i loved it and the programme with michael Burke callled 999 amazing. It was so good and entertaining to watch.
Can you imagine having to live near or at the same bedsit or rooms to two junkies especially with a new born baby poor woman and her baby and all the others who lost their homes because of these two pair of junkies they shouldnt be allowed to live there in the first place thank god they both died no loss to their neighbours I got no sympathy with junkies like that horrible people
Can any one remember the very first episode of londons burning. Im just curious i cant remember i was only about 7 or 8 at the time if any one can remember i will be really grateful if someone could tell me. Thank you
I've always wanted know what those songs are called in this scene. I've never been able to find them. I wish somebody would post the whole episodes up again, not just bad quality clips.
@@danielr02 I tried using Shazam to identify the songs, but it returned 'No matches found'. I am guessing the songs were specially created for this episode and were not chart hits.
I seem to remember the Songs in the original TV version of the episode when it was on ITV were different compared to this upload (I’m presuming this is the DVD version) - I can only think they switched the Music because they couldn’t get clearance due to copyright! It was a shame because the music as I remember it was great but it was probably specially made for the show like these were - A prime example is the music the band are playing when shooting their music video in the shout that John Hallam died in - Even though the audio quality was good Shazam didn’t pick that up even though the music wasn’t changed at all. Sorry I can’t help at all!
No, it's perfectly possible the fire wouldn't wake him. He's been completely knocked out by a massive amount of drink and drugs. So knocked out and intoxicated to the point of being completely unaware and beyond self-responsibility that he can't even register that's he's on fire and in pain. This nearly happened to my Dad a few times, where he'd had a skinful of boos, climbed into bed, but decided to have a last cigarette before going to sleep, but fell asleep before finishing the cigarette. Fortunately, each time, he was woken by the mattress being on fire.

@@danielr02 You never know. You may be lucky. But I do stand by my comment that the songs were specifically written for the show. I am guessing that ITV have hired an 'unmentioned' band (could be Blur or Oasis or the Manic Street Preachers for all I know) to construct a song specifically for this episode.
