“Jack, my son is in there.” A very good example of a true father, shame it got him killed, Nick you were an amazing long-lasting guv, Station Officer, friend, and character, thank you for being there for 6 seasons (7 if you count the little cameos in season 11)

Saw this episode for the very first time two days ago very sad. RIP Nick Georgiadis who was a good guvnor.

Yes correct thee best gov ever

When nick died that was it for london's burning in my eyes. Series 10 was really the end

[@LicencetoWho]

For me Series 1-9 were the pinnacle of the show, Series 10 was alright but ruined for me due to Gregg. I am biased towards 11 and 12 so I can't really give my opinion there but I enjoy them.

[@procta2343]

@@LicencetoWho yeah 1-9 was really at its peak, and series 10 was where it really ended.

[@AirwolfArchive]

@@procta2343 10 was poor. 9 was the best last year under original producer, Paul Knight.

Thanks for uploading

[@joshhayes5218]

Nick let his heart rule his head he clearly wasn’t thinking straight but he was doing what any father would do. He put his fire service hat aside and as a result he died

[@OnafetsEnovap]

I think that was the character's biggest weakness - despite his tendency to play by the rules, he often let his personal feelings get in the way of his duty. In a show that was mostly built around an ensemble cast, Nick was the closest thing London's Burning had to an actual protagonist, a main character.

[@jamiesleeman4375]

This series just took the piss with characters dying in the end. So many firefighters died from Blue Watch that it was a wonder that could ever get life insurance. I know being in the Fire Brigade is not the safest of jobs, but more people retire or leave than get offed during shouts.

[@melaniepowell2430]

Jamie Sleeman it's true. All the female fighters were subjected to some sort of sexual assault too

[@BenBanjo87]

You're so right. We should have had more characters survive to the end of the series. The final episode should still have had Nick as ADO, and Blue Watch as follows: Sicknote (movie and Series 1) George (Series 1) Recall (Series 4) Pearce (Series 6) Sally (Series 11) Adam (Series 13) Mick (Series 14) Frank (Series 14) Charlie (Series 14) That way there would be characters to represent all the main eras of LB.

[@procta2343]

series 10 was it for me with londons burning, series 11 was really bad, and to kill off nick just put the icing on the cake really.

[@IronsWorks1990]

This was at Green Lane in Dagenham, this was filmed during the summer holidays in 1998 I was 7 going on 8 at the time and was in the crowd and can briefly be seen in this. I remember some people at first thought it was a real fire lol.

Come off if, he was not a great actor.

[@firefighterfan2010]

Poor Nick hope he makes a great Station Officer to the whole London Burning Series.

[@welderguy1]

He left the show after a pay dispute with LWT bosses and as a result his character only made five appearances in series 11 before being killed off i think they shouldn't of kill him off

[@wheelie1988]

I forgot what series Nick died. I liked Nick, Sidney and the older one. Chris and the one in series 14 I thought was a complete let down!!!

[@jakedymondwherry3026]

He died with is eyes open

[@bobSCOTT99]

I personally think the best guvnor at Blackwall was Sidney Tate, Georgiadis and Coleman were okay and Callaghan and Hammond were shit

[@srhasting1]

[@alexsalter7266]

Dolally69 it was filmed in Green Lanes Dagenham on the Corner of Waldegrave Road. The building is now a church but it has been a cinema and a bingo hall before being closed for years

[@IronsWorks1990]

I remember it being closed for years during the 90s and early 2000s before it became an African church.

@Stefano Pavone He sadly passed away in 2011.

[@LicencetoWho]

​@Stefano Pavone Sadly I believe he has, there have been many rumors for years now as he just dissapeared off the face of the earth having last been seen in an interview with his son in 2011, He did not appear at the London's Burning reunion in 2016 and subsequently has not been in any interviews. There has also not been any photographs of him. I tried contacting his son awhile back but he never got back to me.

@@LicencetoWho Andrew Kazamia is still alive. There is an interview on KZbin with Richard Walsh who played Sicknote and he says in the interview he is very good friends with him and his family.

[@BenBanjo87]

Nick would've been disciplined for defying orders, perhaps even demoted back to Station Officer, had he survived...but he died a true hero. He shouldn't have taken that promotion in the first place, in my opinion - he belonged on the front line with the others. They say no good deed goes unpunished 😥

[@imrandarr1094]

What made it even more painful was that Nick was having trouble adjusting to his new role and was never convinced that Hammond was never the right successor for Blue Watch. He even was going to raise the issue on the day of the fire!

@Stefano Pavone John Coleman over Chris Hammond surely?

[@270687carl]

@Stefano Pavone i agree yes, If Coleman came in earlier he would of been a real decent and acceptable Station Officer, i personally think the show lost it's appeal after series9... i barely watched season 11 and of the ones i watched they killed off Nick Georgiardis which came as shock i just lost interest after that.
