Aye, George Dixon had a good career seeing as he was shot dead in 1950 in the film, The Blue Lamp. Another quarter of a century policing as a friendly corpse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many recognised it and, conversely, for how many it simply bypassed them. Sadly I knew exactly what it referred to, even as much that for some reason I know Jack Warner starred in the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it showing my age to recall that Jack Warner’s sisters were the music hall performers: Elsie and Doris Waters? No, I didn’t think so either.

SirColinOfMansfield Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Just to bring things vaguely back on topic ... Dixon's mentoring of Crawford was seen from Dixon of Dock Green's first series opener, "PC Crawford's first Pinch", broadcast on Saturday 9 July 1955. ... and just a few months earlier on 05 Feb 1955 Bristol Rovers lost 8-3 to Blackburn Rovers in League Division Two So nothing really changes (although obviously I looked for their biggest defeat around that time!)

We may have lost 8-3 but the match was so bizarre it could have gone either way, honestly, we might easily have won 3-8 on another day or it could have been 6-6 nobody really cared because the Rovers fans were on board with my barmy solutions and knew I was dangerous when backed into a corner like Charles Darwin. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty bad, makes you want to adjust the vertical hold on an old telly. What about the disgusting tesco bag rag the mongs wore one year, that was truly awful.

Who knew?! Who knew, indeed. This is a quiz show where 100 people are asked a question and you have to think of an answer none of them came up with, ie an answer that's obviously Impossible, Untenable, etc. Which means - if the impossible, untenable, pointless answer is "gAsshole fc" - what on earth is the question: Who really is "The greatest team the world has ever seen"? Who playzzz in da famus qorterzzz? Which team isn't a stain on their city? And so on and so on. Endless possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
