13 May 1964. With Brian Blessed,Joseph Brady,Frank Windsor,Robert Keegan & Peter Griffin( Not the obese clueless retarded bespectacled Irish American from Quahog)
I used to watch these with my parents all those years ago. Pure nostalgia. Brian Blessed used to talk 'normal' back then long before his famous bellowing voice of today. Frank Windsor played my favourite character. I used to love his authoritative attitude to those under him. So much has changed since then. The cars they drove and means of communication for example. Great to watch it again

Sadly, Society has gone from Yuppies making pranks at the Police's expense to Trash calling for the pettiest of things, like MacDonalds being out of McNuggets
Two Bristol Lodekkas in the First five minutes. I'm guessing Crosville. Plus the classic independent operator's Duple bodied Bedford. Love the classic vehicles.
amazing episode the sign of the happier days when a shooting is met with amazment and disbelief.also highlights the guilt felt by the witnesses for inaction.if you recall this was the time have a go was popularised only to be reversed after a spate of citizens got killed or badly injured doing just that!
Contrast this with our American TV at the time, when everybody was shooting everybody else, so natch it was no big to nab a perp. *Sigh*, no change here.
The law has much changed since the 60s.Even having an unauthorized firearm can lead to 10 years, discharging a gun in a public place, even with blanks, criminal damage, causing serious public order offences etc. I reckon maybe 10 years inside. Everyone was so obsequious to the upper classes back then. Still quite nostalgic to watch.
The two shows couldn't be more different, but what they do have in common is the ability to intersperse moments of quality comedy, without compromising the underlying seriousness.
That's not the video audio you're hearing - it's Brian Blessed shouting so loud that the voice of his past self has broken the fabric of time and can be heard by you in the future.
Takes me back, on the floor, coal fire ablaze, watching bw tv. We didn't need colour, we knew the colours in our head. It was all about content, unlike the millennium of dumbness. We didn't need warnings before transmissions & help lines at the end.
Thanks for the video but it is totally ruined by the huge logo. Could you not at least made it black and white? I would have been happy to pay otherwise.
In reality, the people would be hushed from the shop, ref, questions, the shop keeper moved items in question, people are walking over debris, scene of crime, would be sealed off, immediately, police argument, witnesses are talking to other witnesses, people interviewing should be singular, the trick was in jest, plain clothes officers would only go and arrest a gunman, uniform back up only, in question, things have been written for dramatic effect, not plausible, not plausible, not plausible, one thing the line up, all wearing plasters, good one.!
Interesting how traumatized the crowd was because the man used a gun. If this had happened in Chicago or Detroit the crowd would have been as traumatized if the guy did the drive by and did not have a few guns.
Goes to show your dad and my dad knew great tv as they both watched z cars 🚓🚓🚓🚓you were a lad so maybe you werent Interested in the series you probaly enjoyed childrens tv 📺z cars was a top tv series as for shit that went down the loo in 1960s too and its the very same in 2022
@@lizdoyle7158 Dear Liz, I have to disagree with your assertation that things are the same in 2022. No now things are even worse, just a more refined form of shit. By the way I threw my TV out years ago.
Was actually cutting edge drama at the time and showed the style/culture of the times, ten years later we got the Sweeny , what do we get now, I'm a third rate celebrity,get me out of here, call that progress.
