Dixon of Dock Green was a British police series on BBC Television, which aired between 1955 and 1976. The central character was neighbourhood bobby PC (later Sergeant) George Dixon, a character who first appeared in the 1949 film “The Blue Lamp”. Dixon was played in every episode by Jack Warner. These 12 radio episodes have been adapted from creator Ted Willis’ original TV scripts. Set in the mid-1950s, they reflect a style of yesteryear policing, where the crimes are low key, nobody gets hurt, and Dixon can return home safely each night for his tea.
