Director : David Askey Script : N J Crisp Publicity : Reporting back for duty today Sergeant George Dixon finds some new faces awaiting him at Dock Green. The CID section has been strengthened by the addition of Woman Detective Constable Ann Foster (played by Pamela Buchner), and the uniformed branch now includes PC Brian Turner. He is otherwise Andrew Bradford, a Londoner who, before he took up acting, nearly became a real-life policeman. Today's opening episode tells how Ben Chambers comes home from a lifetime of fighting for pay to try to recapture his teenage daughter's love. (Radio Times, September 28, 1967). Synopsis : After living with death a long time Ben Chambers (Victor Canning) finds it can still have a surprising new menace.

Director : Vere Lorrimer Script : Norman Crisp Publicity : Dock Green's female sleuth, Woman Detective Constable Ann Foster, has been something of a mystery even to her colleagues. Sergeant Dixon, who is inclined to generalize - "Coppers or not, they're still women" - is slightly baffled, too. But tonight's episode puts Ann in the spotlight. A figure looms up from her past: smooth-talking Terry Brandon (John Carlisle). She wants nothing to do with him. Soon it emerges that both she and Brandon need the same man - for different reasons. The CID are trying to track down Sam Finch (Tommy Godfrey) in connection with a jewel theft. Brandon, threatened by "the collector", wants him for five hundred pounds he owes. When, despite Ann's suggestion, Brandon refuses police protection, she and DS Crawford try to use him as a means of finding Finch. The hunt has a sensational outcome. (Radio Times, October 12, 1967).

Director : David Askey Script : N J Crisp Publicity : Half-past five in the morning around Christmas time. Dixon parks his car in the yard at the nick. He is on early turn. As Station Sergeant he will be responsible for the general efficiency of the station from six am until two in the afternoon. In the absence of the Inspector he is Duty Office, too. To most of us this would look like a sizeable day's work, and so it turns out. Six Till Two tells half-a-dozen stories, some funny, some sad. One "body" brought in is charged with attempting to defraud the Welfare Service, another is plain drunk. A young couple face up to family tragedy; a little girl is found crying; a warehouse has been on fire; a parking case isn't what it seems. Incidents like these, and others on the beat, all come to roost on Dixon's desk. (Radio Times, December 21, 1967).

Director : Vere Lorrimer Script : N J Crisp Publicity : Why Andy's A Tough Guy Now: Whatever happened to Andy Crawford? Instead of the young, fresh-faced eager probationer constable that George Dixon took under his wing, we have - apart from a change of hairstyle, looking almost exactly the same - a tough, often cynical, Detective Sergeant whose methods in tracking down criminals often closely resemble Barlow's. That's the sort of comment viewers and critics have been making about the more recent series of Dixon of Dock Green. Peter Byrne, who's played Andy Crawford for thirteen years without missing an episode, is very skeptical about the "new tough image". "It's been a logical progression, that's all," he claims. "Police work can be pretty nasty and thirteen years are bound to leave their mark". People now tend to think of Dixon in its earliest days when we saw policemen off duty at home, as being "soft and cosy". "Cosy?" said Byrne, "you must be joking!". "During those early years Andy was shot in the stomach, knifed, beaten up quite often, run over by a car and half strangled on top of a high building by some maniac. And we still have the highest mortality rate of any police series". As for the new series being tougher, Peter Byrne produced this press cutting. "Benign old Dixon of Dock Green is getting tougher and faster. The unsteady, reassuring tum-te-tum-te-tum of Jack Warner's boots as he pounds the beat is taking on a rougher rhythm". And that was dated not 1968 but 1963! One of Dixon's strengths, as both Byrne and producer Ronnie Marsh point out, is that during its run it has always kept up with the times - and the times are certainly a-changing. Gone nearly everywhere is the friendly old nick with its "colourful" characters who pop in and out, and gone, too, in most distructs is the "local" copper. Areas such as Dock Green, where constables like Dixon knew nearly everybody living on his beat, have been redeveloped. Rows of houses have been pulled down, the inhabitants moved out to new towns or rehoused in gigantic blocks of flats. Many coppers now cover their beats on "noddy" bikes - they are too big to cover on foot. The old characters have largely done too. The Duffy Claytons of the world don't often emerge intact from wholesale redevelopment. Highly organized big-time crime would seem to be on the increase - hence the stress on the work of the CID, although the uniform branch obviously still plays an important part. And tonight, the story "Caesar's Wife" centres round Sergeant Wills - a comparative newcomer with only six years' serice under his belt - who's faced with a conflict between his uniform and his private life. (Radio Times, January 25, 1968 - Article by Gay Search). Additional Cast : Eric Lander, Ruth Trouncer, Pauline Williams, David Burke (Willy Morton), Roy Hanlon, Katherine Parr and Len Lowe.

Director : Vere Lorrimer Script : N J Crisp Publicity : Up The Nick - Ernest Thomson finds out what the Dock Green force does when it is "off duty": Where do flies go in wintertime? Where do Dock green "regulars" go in summertime? The second query, which is posed with the ending of another Dixon of Dock Green series, is easily answered. "I'll still be on the chase," said Jack Warner. "Not chasing criminals, though, but chasing the sun. After eight months of Dock Green, week in and week out, I'll be off with my wife to the West Indies". Still immersed in rehearsals, the Station Sergeant edged across the nick. "Usually," he went on, "I go to France, but in recent years I've been unlucky with the weather". Jack never stops work for long. "When I get back you'd find me at my cottage near Broadstairs, settling down to a bit of writing - monologues and all that". Fingering a dossier was Detective Sergeant Andy Crawford, in reality Peter Byrne. "Not much fun to start with - an abdominal operation I've been putting off for years". With professional stoicism, Peter has gone on humping a packet of discomfort not only around Dock Green, but in Boeing-Boeing on tour and in London's West End. "Sometimes I was doing a nineteen-hour day, and that didn't help. However, after I have the `op' and a rest, I'll get fit playing cricket again". And what of Detective Constable ("Laudy") Lauderdale, whose ten years at Dock Green put him third in the Dixon dynasty? "A spot of home decorating in Islington," said Geoffrey Adams., "Then I am off with my wife to south-west Spain". Tonight's episode, "Ania", starts Ania Marson, a young actress of Polish extraction, in the story of a Polish girl's misadventures. (Radio Times, February 8, 1968). Additional Cast : Richard Owens, Ania Marson (Ania), Gareth Robinson, Denis Cleary, Graham Weston, Nadja Regin, Sam Kydd, Tony Steedman, Philippa Urquhart, Michael Beint, Clifford Earl and Philip Ross.

Synopsis : Who is Eleanor Smith? Where is she? When the attention of the police is drawn to the missing occupant of a ground-floor flat, they have only one clue to her identity: a photograph found on the bed in a room showing signs of a struggle. The photograph is published in the press - and three conflicting stories about her possible identity emerge. Which is right? All of them? None of them?

Director : Eric Fawcett Script : Cyril Abraham Publicity : Well, Which One Do They Love? - He's A Copper's Copper (Atkins): Dock Green could have bveen modelled on the Isle of Dogs, a tight, dockland community inside a hairpin bend of the Thames, connected to the rest of London only by swing bridges. Station Sergeant "Tommy" Atkins explains: "The police used to rely on a terrific amount of local knowledge. Constables would be paraded for each duty and sent off on foot within a neighbourhood they knew. Then in the last ten years the accent changed to motorized patrols, with fewer men on the beat. Now they're introducing the home beat, where a constable lives on his own patch and patrols when he sees fit. If he expects trouble at a certain time and place he will take the necessary action. That's Dixon's way. He may have been out-of-date for a while, but he's coming back into fashion". Tommy Atkins is thirty-seven - "though I've got less hair than Dixon!" - and he has been a policeman in East London for seventeen years. He watches Dixon when he can. "I don't think the coppers in the other police series are typical. You wouldn't find many men like Barlow in the Met. He's too cocky and rude. But Dixon is right. He's a copper's copper. We have about five-hundred Sergeants in London under the age of thirty. There's one thing about Dixon they don't like - they think he gives the public the idea we're all old men. But at the same time you need experience. You can't have enough of it. Down here we act as marriage counselors, mop up for people with burst pipes, help them into their homes when they get locked out, and look after birds with broken wings. So when Dixon makes us seem like kindly fathers of the community, we like to think he's right". (Radio Times, September 4, 1969 - Article by Lynn Lewis). Synopsis : Things are not quite what they seem when a team of "paperhangers" move into the Manor. For Sergeant Dixon and DS Crawford it means an embarrassing personal involvement. Additional Cast : Joy Hope, John Wilding, Norman Claridge, Eric Dodson, Ballard Berkeley ("The Colonel"), Brian Cant, Joan Hickson (Elsie Francis), Denis Cleary, Arnold Diamond, Stephen Bradley (DC Chalmers), Tom Watson, Margaret John, Ken Parry, Cecilia May and Jeremy Young.
