Dixon of Dock Green (1955–1976) watch online

Dixon of Dock Green is a BBC police procedural television series about daily life at a fictional London police station, with the emphasis on petty crime, successfully controlled through common sense and human understanding. It ran from 1955 to 1976. The central character, George Dixon, first appeared in the film The Blue Lamp (1950). Dixon is a mature and sympathetic police constable, who was played by Jack Warner in all of the 432 episodes.

Dixon is the supposed embodiment of a typical "bobby" who would be familiar with the area in which he patrolled and its residents and often lived there himself (Peelian principles). The series contrasted with later programmes such as Z-Cars, which more realistically reflected a more aggressive policing culture (Gendarmerie). It retained a faithful following throughout its run and was voted second-most popular programme on British television in 1961.
