Thanks for uploading. I'm a child of the 1970s. I saw some of these episodes at the time but was too young to understand them properly. Great to revisit them

Definitely not Ian Cullen diving into that canal. Understandable from a budget perspective - getting the Cullen coiffure back into shape after a soaking would have taken up the services of at least three BBC hairdressers for about a week. Fiona Robbins has some pad. Britain was on it's knees economically in 1974, but you wouldn't know it with her house full of plants, a wine rack, multiple bookshelves, mango chutney and enough sherry to offer to a passing DI. Of course, Jill Balcon was in real life the wife of recently deceased Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis so was accustomed to the finer things. Since Lynch's promotion, Newtown nick has lacked a desk sergeant. And I don't think it ever had a full time one again. Despite his efforts here, Quilley didn't get his promotion until 1977. W Sgt. Cameron seems not to get much respect from neither Quilley nor Skinner, which is odd since they're inferior in rank to her. Very odd that she doesn't say anything either. Not really news that the 70s were quite sexist. 23:57 Bella Emberg scowls at a cabbage. Such skill would pay well for her in future as a stooge for Benny Hill and Russ Abbot. A bit genteel a plot for a Z Cars - more cosy crime than the gritty policing it's known for. Guess Ron Craddock wanted a change of pace from the last few stories. Of course, Z Cars moved further and further away from it's urban roots in the next few series.
