Rember this like it was yesterday

thank you for the precious memories!

Mi amado el todo poderoso la gloria es tulla

Me encanta esa adoracion gloria a Dios

Loved the theme and opening sequence

Johhny Todd certainly did have a notion!!.

37 seconds:- Farthings ceased to be legal tender at the end of 1960.

Thanks for the treat. To KZbin: what's with the really loud commercials? That just pisses me off.

And Davy Jones from the Monkees plays the boy Wilkie in this episode. I guess this would have been one of his first on screen roles. He was very convincing I thought. A consummate performer his whole life.

*Fun fact* Stratford Johns and some friends were coming out of an event and were spotted by some miscreants in the middle of doing some _mischief._ The words *_It's Barlow scarper_* were heard and the miscreants took off in different directions. That's how real Z Cars and the spin-off series through to Softly Softly: Task Force were seen as. As mentioned by another Kiwi in the Comments mentioned it was very popular in NZ maybe due to them driving Zephyrs helped that since it was something we could identify with because the NZ Ministry of Transport _traffic cops_ in NZ (they were *not* actual Police but a road police and only dealt with traffic infringements) aka The Motley drove Mk IV Zephyrs. *Thank you* for the memory Billy Evmur. Really very much appreciated. 👍👍

Thanks for the Sweeney getting me hooked on UK TV years ago, can understand every word. Neat story..Great post..Thanks. Huzzah

It's the monkey Davy Jones

Keith Smith of Q series on the bridge

A cassette with this song was the first I bought after singing in a choir behind him at a concert in Bergen, Norway

A young Jeremy Kemp!!

Good old fashioned coppers who will soon introduce smart alecs and louts to Constable Fistanboot down in the cells.

The actor who played the desk sergeant ("Sgt. Twentyman") died late in 1962 soon after the series began.

Father let your Spirit of Holiness and righteousness come upon my generation 😢😢 so that we may be able to deliver sweet spirit filled song of worship onto you.

Spirit fill Song

3:00 Smashey and Nicey anyone ?

I remember this show from the 70s

I love how criminals suspected of dangerous felonies just sit quietly in the back seat of the police car without the inconvenience of handcuffs, while the police continue pursuing their patrol duties.

Belfast cop sharp as a tack.

Where's the bloody picture

My mum sat next to Jeremy kemp at a pub near Oxford back in the 80s

I read all ( yes, all ) the comments on this before I watched it. I couldn't wait to see the vicious wife beating scene. Having watched it I am even more amused by the accepted view. I knew the accepted view was rubbish even before I watched the clip ( I don't remember it from when I was eight, honest .... ) , in a Holmesian kind of way. So : - The first thing is how Barlow fails to recognise his pal, or his pal's wheels, despite the fact that there were only seventeen cars in Liverpool in 1962. Once all that was out of the way it became a brilliant intro to the prog, and after seven minutes I was gasping for breath. Then at last, the wife beating scene ! Wifebeater comes in unexpectedly, his wife is with another man, this is going to end up with two dead bodies, I can feel it in my bones ! What a bloody letdown ! Where's me chips ? I'm cooking them, shut up ! How did you get the black eye ? I tried to kill him for coming in late, and he retaliated. What is this , a mistitled Blue Peter video ? I wonder how anybody could fail to be shocked by .......... how absolutely beautiful that scene was. I just need to see Davy Jones ( real name Bowie ...... ) and then I can go ...................

Need acting lessons

🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for posting this. It’s a treasure! What a lovely bit of time travel.

Cars were small in those days, their shoulders are touching from 10:03.

11:17..rain pouring off his helmet! We always used to say a good copper never gets wet.

That is Davy Jones from The Monkees ?

1964 was the beginnings of the The Beatles 🎉

onlookers helping the cop!

Catch the beggars don’t just chase them !

Thanks for this interesting series. Liked.....Subbed.......Rang of the Bell

Oh wow! Fancy Smith is played by Brian Blessed. I knew I was hearing Augustus Caesar when he spoke.

Remember this well.

Today the cops would have steamed in armed to the teeth and shot the axe guy

We watched this with my late mum many years ago this takes me back to the day's so long ago

Seems like yesterday, 'Jonny Todd ' theme came on, scramble for a good seat 😅😂

I loved Z Cars, as a boy in scouts at the time I remember riding home on my bicycle full tilt after attending scouts to be home in time to watch it with my parents. My earliest recollection really of that new thing in our lounge, a television set.

Those days when we were kids the police could give u a clip round the ear & drag u home by your ear'ole if u did something wrong & got caught!!!

Wowwww....just the name 'Z Cars'...takes me back to the early 70's when I was a little boy & the whole family would sit down & watch TV together!!! Happy days!!!

Those plastic macs!

The actor who played the tall sergeant was Leonard Williams who died suddenly, later in 1962, aged 48.

The tall police-sergeant seen at 4.13 was played by Leonard Williams, an actor who died suddenly aged 48, some 60 years ago.

I used to watch this instead of doing my homework in the late 70’s😊

The late, great actor Arthur Lowe. I met him when I worked in the Theatre. He was a lovely man and a real gentleman. He's very much missed by many people. Rest in Peace Sir and Thank You for leaving us such a great legacy of your acting. ❤👏⭐🌹

I remember watching his.It makes me feel so old.Happy to die soon.I don't like the modern world.Thank you.
