Where's George Gone?

[Rickshaw Phil]

He's been stood there saluting for about 7 years now so needed to go off and take a rest.

I'd like to know who put superglue on the rim of his custodian helmet.

He'll never make sergeant doing that. Don't forget he was shot and killed.

Died after being shot on duty.

Died after being shot!

Ever the traditionalist, doing it in the accepted order.

He died after being shot (in The Blue Lamp) - very traditional. What was not so traditional was coming back from the dead as the same policeman and featuring in Dixon of Dock Green for 21 years. Even more impressively, he was still working on the beat until his late 70s!

The Tories plan to revive that particular tradition.

And he never had a son in Dixon of Dock Green.

Force cutbacks?

On a serious note, George Dixon was played by Jack Warner. In real life Warner's local beat officer was a guy named Ron Spendloff and they became good friends.

I never worked with Ron as he'd already retired by the time I met him. We too became friends, often chatting over a pint at the Newport Pagnell British Legion, and I knew him for about two years before he passed away. Ever the gentleman, he never name dropped Jack Warner to me and I only discovered the link after his death.

‘the freedom of police stations, the freedom of their tea, the freedom to criticise its quality and if he does, the freedom of the cells’.

Dodgy tea or a free cell, which to chose?

That's class.
