I met Michael Pate at a film festival party in 1997. He was a darling man who talked to me and laughed when I said my Nan had been to shy to say hello to him at a screening of a Charles Chauvel film the day before. I’ve met quite a few well known people and he was the best. ❤

Our family preferred Homicide and Matlock Police, but we still watched Division-4, Gerard Kennedy played the bad guy in many shows, then a policeman in Division-4, a great actor he was. Thank you Crawfords, a pity todays TV shows lack the integrity of true Australian crime shows that you have us over the years.

Thank you Crawfords for great Australian crime drama, Homicide and Matlock Police were my favourites growing up, the whole family in the lounge watching! A lot of Australian actors got their careers from being in Homicide and Matlock Police and thus became household names.

I remember outdoor scenes sounded more realistic as many American shows were shot in a studio. The police car just had a siren on it, they were not allowed to display blue lights or insignia. I loved how they all wore hats. Imagine climbing a cliff wearing a hat.

Sadly Len Teale passed 14.05.94 and Norman Yemm passed 03.02.2015. George Mallaby passed away 12.07.2004. Terry Donovan appears briefly at approx. 2.00 mins. Terry can be seen in the Division 4 reunion video on this channel.

Gerard Kennedy played the crook in Homicide, and I think he also appeared on Skippy as a bad guy too, he is more suited to the "bad guy" roles. Thanks Crawford Productions for giving us so much great entertainment.

@@bettysteve322716I bought four volumes of Cop Shop for $250. They were sent to my brother in Melbourne and he then posted them to me in Italy. If they shipped internationally I’d buy Matlock, Division 4 and Homicide. I have always wondered why there isn’t a channel that streams these shows. OZTV classics. Am happy to pay but $60 plus shipping for one DVD volume is too expensive. I love the shows though.

My mother loved the Sullivans, every day when I came home from school this would be on (felt like every day) and that theme tune still haunts me 😂 There was another Aussie soap that became popular among my teenage peer group as we used to find it hilarious but I’ll be damned if I can remember what it was called , hospital drama and a purple bar I think called Bunnies 😅 oh dear my memory has let me down.

The late great Michael Pate. He was really our first greatest movie and TV export of the 50/60’s from Hondo and McLintock opposite John Wayne to Zorro then to Batman Rawhide with Clint to 77 Sunset strip and Time Tunnel Daniel Boone Get smart Rawhide and many many more not to mention Houdini opp Tony Curtis.
