Uri wrote ITC made this police drama between 1964 - '65. A well written and well acted drama that was considered," the sweeney" of its day.

John Gregson was the actor who played commander Gideon.

This is just a random collection of pictures from the series;

A Leyland Comet fire pump can be seen along with two wolseley cars from the episode "the white rat".

A Humber Hawk, Ford Zephyr 4 mark 3, and a Triumph 2000 are among the civilian cars.

There was no episode that did not have a Wolseley police car in it. Doubtful if any of the cars were genuine area/traffic cars.

Anyone with the DVD version shoud post more.

It's been about Three & a half years since I last added pics here (Lots has happened in the meantime, my Dad passing, my Mom in & out of hospital for over 2 years and my own breakdowns/bouts of depression).
I came across this box set again, on one of my stacks of dvd's this week, so thought it was about time I completed this series!
Today adding episodes 5, 8 & 26.

Since you all appear to be so much younger than I, it is necessary for me to tell you that the lamp with the small bulb, probably 60 watt, almost certainly bayonet fitting in England, is a converted gas lamp. I have clear memories of seeing the milkman's horse and trap by gas light in the early hours of the morning, and of the open air markets in Walsall and Wolverhampton where the stalls would be lit by paraffin pressure lanterns on winter afternoons.

Was it converted in the late 1950's :think:

I can't do more than suggest that it would be post WW2. Areas that had been supplied with gas and electricity by the small and probably municipally owned local companies would now find that as the small outfits had been nationalised, voltages and systems became standardised and it therefore became cheaper and easier to apply electricity instead of gas. The other point was that you didn't need a bloke with a pole to go around lighting the electric lamps, which could be switched on and off centrally, or automatically. Some gas lights did have clocks and lighting mechanisms but not all by a long way.

Electricity here was a mess until nationalisation, there were differing voltages and even some areas with DC supplies. The formation of the Central Electricity Authority, (later the CE Generating Board) and the large area distribution networks like the Midlands Electricity Board, pulled it all into shape.
