Did you know that Dixon of Dock Green was one of the longest-running police series on British television? It was on the air from 1955 to 1976, and it was also the best-loved. Jack Warner played Sergeant George Dixon, and this series is what started the whole police drama genre on TV. It’s like the granddaddy of all police shows! Filmed on set and on location around the charming dockland community of London’s East End, the character of Dixon, with his friendly and informal “Evening all,” offered viewers a warm and welcoming glimpse into the world of a police officer. Despite the often challenging nature of his job, Dixon was someone you’d be tempted to welcome into your home for a cup of tea, even if you’d just robbed a bank. In these episodes, which are available in color for the first time, the Dock Green police have a lot on their plate. They’re dealing with cases that are as different as they come. There’s a missing policeman, a mysterious assailant targeting young women, protecting a witness to a murder, a charming crook with friends in the right places, the hidden world of spousal abuse, and the police shooting of an unarmed criminal. In today’s world of DNA and CCTV, a lot has changed, but a lot is still the same in these thrilling and captivating episodes of Dixon of Dock Green. Features Format: DVD Product Tags Green.
