Z Cars Hide and seek 

Lovely element of this era was the old quotes and the set-to’s that were always resolved by courtesy. Gone but not forgotten..

These are so good, great story lines and some superb acting, I hope a day will come and these old shows are digitally cleaned up, they would come to life even more.

I used to watch this with my late parents as a child, back in the mid 1960's. Thank you for posting it! .... Incidentally, the superintendent who is telling the newspaper reporter off, at the start of the episode, also appeared in one of my favourite films, Quadrophenia, (1979) as the judge who made the famous "Sawdust Caesars" speech to the defendants in court! xxxx

Wonderful to see Z car🚔 episodes again takes me back to happy times⏰when my Mam n Dad all of the family Watched t v📺together some have passed on yet the great memories come back once i see the old tv 📺series on youtube

John Thaw as a child actor. Good fun to see.

Used to watch this as a kid, dad had a mk 3 Zephyr six, white with red interior,loved it.

John Thaw played quite a few policemen.

“I would give all my fame for a pot of ale and safety” (Henry V: Act 3, Scene 2). An erudite landlady!

I was 6 when this episode aired, and remember Z Cars from an early age. A natural progression from Bill & Ben & Stingray ... not that I'm saying they were wooden. The acting is actually very good, and many great a actor had their film debut here. This was the first cop show I remember watching.

John thew is just 22 here. Ten years later, he looked like a old man.

Like meeting old friends.

Forbes was played by Jack Smethurst who was in the TV series `Love thy Neighbour`

John Thaw,s acting was good

Constable Morse knocking bac the drink already!

Good old show.Remember the 1970s series more vividly.

This episode’s title is “Hide-and Go Seek”, ie with the verb “Go” and with the dash. But thanks for uploading this episode. I now have nine episodes.

English people walk around in their dressing gowns all the time. I've even seen people go to the shops in them.

Great show

at 37:47 the young detective trying to resign from C.I.D. went on to become the greatest Detctive Inspector ever ..with the Flying Squad..the Sweeney! God bless Jack Reagan D.I.

I liked the theme tune (and still do). So I would listen to the opening credits and come back to hear it again at the end. Never got to listen to the actual show.

Morse in his younger days I see 😊

So wonderful💙 Thank you for uploading

Is that the same guy who advertised "charming carriage clocks" to those who took out life insurance in the 80s/90s ?

Remember watching the seventies version. Had no idea it started in 1962.

The "KTJ..." registration on the Zephyr in the opening credits would have been appropriate to a vehicle a decade older.

Starring Brian Blessed as PC Fancy Smith

Very good old time policing.

Joseph Brady as PC jock weir

There's a lot of "dirty cuts" between scenes. As Z-Cars was recorded live, I can only assume the vision mixer's desk was faulty and they had no time to replace it.

Thank you for this upload

WELL DONE !!!

actually, this episode is from 16 October 1963, so, as we say in Liverpool, you've had your eye wiped.

People actually used to watch this stuff God help us. It blighted my childhood.

18:55 'You'll like it better out here'

I’m not sure, but is that guy in the dressing gown Richard ‘Kip’ Carpenter? It looks like him. The creator of Catweazle and Robin Of Sherwood.

An excellent series .1 series. A guy was breaking into a shop .hiding. and he saw a bouncer beat up a bloke and kill .him .when in the police station .the bounty cer said the guy slipped on a banana skin and hit his head

John Thaw. Before or after Redcap?

i be honest not one of the best episodes. this is very slow compared to some of the others black and white or colour

0/10 Not enough cars!!!!!
