The film, "The Blue Lamp" formed the basis of this incredible series which ran for so many years and was loved by one and all. From the very young to the very old and, is still spoken of with reverence of being of a better time. The average person didn't swear in normal conversation. The criminals were nasty but didn't have sadistic streaks and the police were down to earth and helpful. They were respected for the job that they had to do and, they treated you with respect too. This is even more closer to me as The Blue Lamp was filmed at Paddington Police Station, alas no longer there as it was "Rebuilt" to make it more modern. As a young police officer, I had the privilege of serving at the old Paddington Police Station and The Blue Lamp was always shown during training, showing the way a police officer should conduct himself. Watching Dixon of Dock Green should be required viewing to all. To show them how things were and still should be. Life is all about respect and Dixon of Dock Green has that in spades. It was, and still is an incredible series and one that should be in everybodies collection. Hours of enjoyment.
