‘Why is the front door lying in the hall? ‘ !!! The best line I have heard for ages. I love dramas with a sense of humour!

Thanks as always. But it is the West-German police.

There's something making strange yelping noises in the thicket at the end of my garden, Uncle Chesterton...shall I go and prod it to see what happens ...? P.S. The Radio shows are still worth getting out of bed for. Thank You.

Now there's a rarity these days... an all male cast! 😲

" Kraut pansy" . Try getting that one past the BBC nowadays. LOL

Because we know better nowadays.

Very good drama, I’m sure I listened to this on the radio, many thanks xx

[@stevie-ray2020]

The attitude that extreme right-wingers are basically harmless still exists among conservative politicians to this day! (Seems that the fight against Fascism in WWII is easily forgotten!)

[@aevans-jl9ym]

Stevie-Ray we fought against National socialism. Hitler was a big fan of "Das Kapital " By Karl Markx's, Mussolini was also, bloody left-wing socialists.

[@euniceprobert9060]

It was interesting, but I found it hard to figure out which were the chaps in Germany and which in the UK.

[@arabellacox]

I've heard this one before but it's been some time and I remember it was very good. Such a shame they're seems to be a shortage of new uploads, everything is a repeat these days.

[@philiphema2678]

Interesting how obsequious the lower ranks hv towards authority. If I had a penny for every time "sir" is used I'd be rich! Also, the figures of authority speak in an educated accent while the ranks speak with varying versions of the working class accent.

@@trishtraynor1237 Well, variants of BBC "Clarry Grundy" off "The Archers" - It's all BBC toffs know.

[@crochetedlace2838]

I know what you mean class wise, but It's quite normal in police departments to call superiors ' sir"

@@crochetedlace2838 Or for Sweeney fans: "Guv" :-)

[@almacmathain6195]

The police were the only service that recruited its high ranks from the lower ranks so genuine toffs were not too common, but the usual class attitude would require the higher ranks come from the ‘higher’ strata of society so this play was more more like the ‘Gideon of the Yard’ TV series that looks like it was made in the 1950s though and it was broadcast in 1964/66 brather than the more realistic ‘Sweeney’ TV series of the 1970s.

[@rambleon3698]

You may be on the wrong channel. Maybe try the Nancy Drew community.

[@varianreeves7553]

It's a play "of its time", reflecting views and language in 50s to 70s. You'd best avoid everything written in that period, except those written for children and older ladies!
