Yes the 1960's episodes are very good however if you watch an episode from the early to mid 1970`s you could be forgive for thinking you were watching a totally different series.
@@Robert_Manners I like most iterations of Z Cars (and Softly Softly). I prefer the petty crime ones the most, where there's a lot of social realism. The John Hopkins scripts have the human element. 70's Z Cars from what I've seen gets a bit more into murders and fantastical sorts of things serialized over a few episodes,. But there are gems in there, the episode with the lady who makes too many police reports, that everyone is out to get her and Lynch gets involved when he's a supervisor, that's a good 70's one.
It was supposed to end at the end of 1965 but the BBC couldnt find a decent replacement so it came back about 15 months later as the BBC couldnt find a suitable replacement but very few of the original cast returned and the likes of Brady and Blessed didnt last too much longer either. It was basically a different show
The title comes from the radio call signs allocated by Lancashire Constabulary. Lancashire police divisions were lettered from north to the south: "A" Division (based in Ulverston) was the detached part of Lancashire at the time around Barrow-in-Furness, "B" Division was Lancaster, and so on (see Home Office radio). The TV series took the non-existent signs Z-Victor 1 and Z-Victor 2.
I was there in 1960s the police were excellent crime was much lower than today police methods are too Soft in 2022 fewer police on the streets they only arrive when crimnals are gone to much dependence on dash footage And cameras from the general public to solve crimes if you see police on the streets its less likely people will commit Crimes if they see cameras they wil take no notice yeah the police on the beat is better than police on a seat
Now when you call the Police, they won't come, they'll give you a "crime number" whereby you can phone them only to be told your crime isn't important enough or haven't the manpower. Write something on twitter, and they'll kick your door in and haul you off for "reeducation".
Down to earth acting, the characters are true to life, even the children were so real without any dialog.

Great to look back at a bit of t.v. nostalgia. Thanks .
Always make a cup of tea when there's trouble. "Put kettle on love"

Cuppa brandy.
Mechanical civil motions to quiet +collect oneselves-- still today,or some coffees:)
That scene in the bar is perfect. They slink away in total silence and the moment they're out of the room buzz buzz buzz.
Love Brian Blessed.
Love that Mark III Zephyr
Nice bit of advertising for ABC Weekend Television in the Blackpool footage!
Thank You very much. Love these early ones. Do you have any more series two? This is great.

which era do you prefer ?
@@raretapesandraresteaks8407 What survives from the first series is very good.
@@raretapesandraresteaks8407 Do you have any preference?

"Smith and Weir are at it again; I'll swear they drive round drumming-up trade."
Great 👍
I remember this episode well simply because of Fancy smashing the bottle of milk. First shown 17/10/1962. Where has the time gone.
I creased up when PC Sweet told the desk sarge how to get the spy obsessed woman off the phone......'...and I'll ring back with the number of dead!'
"FRIENDLY RELATIONS"
Series 2;Episode 5
October 17,1962
The hospital doctor, smoking 😁Ah, the early 60's
Anymore of the original Z Cars series you can share with us?
Upload more clips during 2022 as you this Christmas RTE in Ireland is 60 years old.
It probably never had all the scary music or special effects but they had good clean stories like most TV series of the day Golden TV days
Hello, thank you for uploading these classic Z Cars episodes. Do you have any more? Particularly the first few series? Thanks :)
Dear uploader, do you have any more episodes from the initial series of Z-Cars (1962-65)? 🙂
A nice " Cuppa " is the solution for all of life's woes.
A shame I was not born before 1962 because I might have got to see the black and white Z cars when first shown on tv
I was 3 that year, yet remember it so well. Loved the theme music and PC Lynch!
My gran says that back then people thought they could treat little'ns like cattle and how dare any copper say otherwise.
Why do they call them " Z Cars '. Were they the first patrol cars with 2 way radios?

Thank you@@lyndaballam7386
Surely, they would have taken a woman constable with them where a woman was concerned? especially in 1962
Different to todays Gestapo policing
Thank goodness police methods have improved! I was around in the 1960s but would never have dreamed how appalling their methods were
I was there in 1960s the police were excellent crime was much lower than today police methods are too
Soft in 2022 fewer police on the streets they only arrive when crimnals are gone to much dependence on dash footage
And cameras from the general public to solve crimes if you see police on the streets its less likely people will commit
Crimes if they see cameras they wil take no notice yeah the police on the beat is better than police on a seat

Improved ?????//
