Juliet Bravo S. 2 Ep.5 A Private Place

When local pensioners Billy and Annie refuse to adhere to an eviction order, Jean becomes determined to discover what they are guarding.

[@LazarusRose]

American here. This kind of program is what makes me appreciate you lovely Brits.

[@CHUTNEX]

40 years on it looks very 'gentle' and reassuring. The British police are as flawed and corrupt as any other worldwide service. I grew up watching 'Kojak' and 'Starsky and Hutch' which was very exciting for a child!

[@sheristewart3940]

We need more of the compassion and love Inspector Darblay demonstrated towards the Stamps. Lovely story, simply lovely.

[@beatlejackson]

This show is wonderful.No violence just people using the old mind to solve simple everyday situations.

[@199422adam]

Couldn't agree more.

[@jaccusefashion]

I would love to see a re-boot of it. Could now be shown in the afternoon .....

[@sectionq1]

.. and just a smidgen of blackmail. Only joking, great story.

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

​@@jaccusefashionyes and filmed there too I wonder too.

[@LusciousTwinkle]

Omg!!!!! I watched this every week as a kid and this is the only episode i actually remember in detail. I found it SOOOO creeepy and macabre back then .... But over the years i realized how sweet and sad it was. I cant believe its here! Thank you do much! Me and my brother learned the phono alphabet because of JB!

[@stumagoo2395]

I remember watching these as a kid with my mum on Saturday nights. Well written stories and great acting were all you needed to make great tv. The 70s and 80s were the golden era of British tv.

[@christopher_ecclestone]

A golden era full stop. I think we we're lucky to grow up without the internet. I grew up near where these were filmed. I love spotting the places I remember as they were when I was a kid.

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

You are right there too and it was filmed in Lancashire So too. I wonder what it looks like now though.

[@christopher_ecclestone]

@@BruceDanton-xw6eg More polished, far less soul.

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

@@christopher_ecclestone indeed of course too thank you too

[@johnbullock5416]

really nice to see this again, a bit like heartbeat , a little bit of nostalgic policing.

[@jaccusefashion]

This episode remained burned on my memory for 40 years. I was about 7 when I saw it. Good to see it again.

[@LusciousTwinkle]

Me too! Did you think it was creepy at the time? One of the best episodes anyway...

[@jaccusefashion]

@@LusciousTwinkle i thought it was terrifying. I didn't sleep that night....

[@LusciousTwinkle]

@@jaccusefashion Me too! It just seems sweet now.

[@catrionamcgowan8203]

Oh that was brilliant.. had a wee tear on my eye at the end.

[@jenniferpierno6108]

The actor playing the part of the bailiff is excellent, typical old school British character actor

[@13699111]

Thank you for posting this very good episode from the series

[@AndyDad147]

Thanks for posting. Really enjoyed watching these again 👍🏻

[@memoir4you]

This was a very good episode for Jean Darblay. Not often the female lead has a large role in one episode.

[@timothysmith1844]

Reminds me of The Bill . No real violence , good story line , smart , human.

[@Scathingly]

Such a wonderfully humane way to end this tragic stoey--both the Inspector and Sargent putting their jobs on the line to facilitate a most suitable denouement for this endearing elderly couple.

[@sabdensam9587]

Opening scene is the police car driving up out of the beautiful village of Sabden , love it ............

[@humansrants1694]

Before cops looked like SAS.

[@neenaserrao7130]

So touching!

[@carlabroderick5508]

Beautiful acting.

[@JAB771]

Got all of them on box sets, wanted them for years. This was real tv

[@sevenoctobers7471]

Brilliant performances by Gwen Nelson and Arthur Hewlett 💗

[@koolyman]

"I'm not a uniform all the way through you know".

[@jaccusefashion]

Brilliant line.....

[@stevepashley795]

Loved it,thank you

[@greggoodes]

What an attractive woman!

[@stumclaughlan4425]

Hard to believe this series was created by the same creator of The Sweeney (Ian Kennedy Martin) as the pace is completely different. Stephanie Turner also played George Carter's (short-lived) wife in The Sweeney.

[@fodapvone8767]

Jean Darblay was based on a real woman police inspector known to Kennedy....writer of THE SWEENEY

[@user-im3hr1ed2l]

You can tell it’s the same creator

[@stevesloan7132]

I've had that same thought. People that I love and care about being buried out there in the cold. I know they can't feel anything anymore; but it still bothers me. Especially on days like this - it was minus 8 last night, and now it's 13.

[@user-gb1tc6ws8n]

They should bring it back from the start.❤❤❤❤

[@stevepashley795]

I love this show, sure it's slower, but probably more to life. Wonderful, no swearing (I turn many shows off because I don't see the need to swear). There are many good shows that are more exciting and without foul language!! Non are American though, they can't make a show without some expletives!!

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

You are so right too. If it is after 9pm these days it seems swearing is thr normal alas too.

[@spookygirl7761]

Touchy 😊

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

Indeed on any channel too. Bbc1 bbc2 itv1 channel 4 channel 5. As well as all the other ones too.

[@sagittariusa2283]

Back when we had good coppers.

[@skinhead1975]

As a 7 year old boy I had my very first crush on the first JB.

[@johnbullock5416]

🙂 ps reaaly like the old cars, they bring back some happy memories as I used to own an escort too! 1

[@nitehawk-de8fy]

beautiful

[@physicsmaster1975]

Was great last night BBC3 showed the first episode last night

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

Back before the world had gone to hell on a handcart... I believe this episode is from 1981

[@colindonington6568]

The challenges of multiculturalism make policing now almost impossible.

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

Maybe 1982 am not too sure though

[@zeddeka]

??? This is from 1981. Mass unemployment and misery (remember boys from the black stuff?), riots, violence, football hooliganism, strikes, the economy in deep recession. Constant threat of nuclear war. As the historian Dominic Sandbrook said, 1981 was a year of "unparalleled gloom". The world had very much gone to hell in a hand cart in 1981. We certainly have problems now, but let's not reinvent the past, eh?

[@zeddeka]

​@@colindonington6568you a russian troll? Crime is now at its lowest ever levels.

[@calmeilles]

That's "drama" 30 years ago intended to be broadcast before the watershed. It's not just the lack of action - or violence - but also the slow pace. These days what this episode covers in 49 minutes could possibly have been covered in 9. But then the fast paced modern stuff isn't always great; I rather like this laid back attitude. And sociologically it's also interesting to see not just the differences in dramatic presentation but also in policing.

[@vedafpone2165]

The only police programme as good as this was HEARTBEAT The rest even the bill were rubbish

[@AtlasFox]

There's been a crime, the Inspector will take the report and investigate personally!

[@stephenreeds3672]

Then maybe. Now they'd give you a crime number and that wld be that.

[@matthewlawrenson3628]

A lot of people who should know better imagine the police procedural TV shows of the 60s, 70s and 80s as cosy and anodyne. They weren't. The crimes and situatons depicted were the same, but back then they couldn't show the gruesome effects, rapes, decaying dead bodies etc. That couldn't be shown on BBC1 at 8pm. All they had was a cutaway, a meaningful look and some pointed dialogue. That doesn't mean they were ignoring the issues.

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

Indeed so too.

[@stephenreeds3672]

A bit Miss Whiplash! Love it.

[@steviedee8921]

First part filmed in and around Sabden , Read and Simonstone

[@aditierneu9651]

David Daker from Boon

[@GayorgVonTrapp]

Bloody shit hot policing in them days. Sharp as razors.

[@nancya.nelson5810]

Because towns were small and people stayed put for generations.

[@cindys1819]

This need a visiting "subtle" American lawman, a Sherriff from Utah, on a one year visit. He's armed with either a .44 Magnum or a .454. His "vehicle's a 1970 DODGE with either a 440 or a HEMI.

[@samthorne5412]

the front door changed, the letter box moved further down and the door knocker vanished once the door was opened

[@fodapvone8767]

Oooh eagle eyes Well spotted Nothing worse than disappearing knockers...

[@tangomoggynoengi8518]

The registration number "1 CP" would nowadays be very expensive and certainly worth more than the car it is on in this episode...no matter how much of a classic Mercedes-Benz it is...! 😉👍

[@johno4521]

Interestingly, the "Halifax" registration 1 CP on the Mercedes was merely the programme-makers' invention at the time of filming, never having been issued in real life. The producers clearly did their homework as although the town (Hartley) was fictional, the series was filmed in the Halifax area as well as a few other locations in West Yorkshire. The police Escort sports a real Halifax registration, SCP551T, the car maybe having been sourced locally. The real 1 CP registration does now exist, but only since 1992 when DVLA issued it for one of their number plate auctions. It sold for £13,000 then but would certainly attract over £100,000 nowadays...

[@JoeGitface]

Steph Turner ; I would have.

Happy days using the venerable Burndept 3ch BE450.... right blast from the past

And the bloke from Wurzel Gumidge

[@alaind6446]

I was enjoying watching these but they have started breaking each episode in to five seperate parts. Its completely a mess trying to find all the parts now. So ive stopped watching it altogether and moved onto something else to watch. Such a pity this was done, totally ruined it

[@superman00001]

A show about a lady policeman.

[@Desslar]

Man, that episode was a major downer.

[@grindupBaker]

It's a bit much when 2 people who are blrd watchers & nature lovers can't park in the quiet woods and watch blrds & stuff

[@lancsl4d]

very fred westesque....eerie!!! lol

[@finnt8014]

can see my house😉

[@fodapvone8767]

I can't see mine I'm in it and on LOCKDOWN

[@paulkenney8081]

much preferred Jean over awful Kate who replaced her, always smiling and couldn't act

[@dlamiss]

Yet in a look back about the show many of the cast and crew found Stephanie Turner (Jean Darblay) difficult to work with

[@jalalelmimouni5631]

Lady policeman

Can ware that uniform any day
