- Prertty simple plot,but that isn't a bad thing.A Man is just out of Prison for robbery and isn't looking to go back again.His Girk is a lot keener on robbery though and she gets him to be a look out as she does over a House.Decent edition,only problem I have with is don't like one of the Detectives.Is his name Kinnel?.Scottish sort of accent,just find his character annoying and unlikeable.I can't root for him at all,don't now if it's just me.
Gawd. I saw the name Z Cars and straight away whistled the theme song..... Must be 50 years.
Back when police actually policed. Now you get arrested for waving the union jack.
You don't. You get arrested or being a racist hiding behind (and besmirching) the union jack.
To be fair, you had already been cautioned for waving your union jack around.
You don't.
Police officers actually trying to catch people - whatever next ? !
Maybe they will put them in the cells if they get them😮
bro should've said "arrest me or I walk" before he got in that car. Police corruption, through and through.
Didn't know 'Boycy' was in Z Cars...good grief!
When Britain still existed
Still does. Get out and see it.

Great for us oldies who remember it
Yes. This is the Z cars I remember from being a tot. The only one I can recall is one with Elizabeth Sladen from Doctor Who. It was pretty edgy and graphic for the time if I am remembering the right one. She is some gangster woman / girlfriend and ends up in a shootout with police and gets blown away, blood and violence etc. It caused a stir on broadcast which is probably why I remember it, she must have done it just before or early on in her Doctor Who run.
Jacki Piper! - Carry on Burgling!
Which Carry On films was she in anyway?.Assume it's 70's ones.
@@SteveHarris-nv9iy four in total - Up the Jungle, Loving, at your Convenience, and Matron, all between 1970-72
@@chickenspadge I have Loving and Convenience offhand.I had guessed maybe Carry On Girls she was in.As the friend of Sally Geeson.
Boycie 😊
Mk I and II Escorts. PROPER cars.
Handled like a rollerskating, heater that took 20 minutes to heat up the metal dash then when it's warm you drive in your underpants, tappets rattle loje a weaving loom. Fact is it was escort ,mini, marina, allegro I that bracket
@@kevinjamesdawes7223I knew a guy who bought a new Allegro, he said the square dash fell off before he got home 😂
I preferred the original Zephyrs.
Yep. Lasted approximately half a year. Proper shite, rust-heaps
Kinell means something different where I'm from 😅😅
Cherrywood Close, Kingston upon Thames for the house that got burgled.
French doors on back? Asking for a friend...
The 70s were tremendous lots of Brits keeping the peace ! Fucking disaster these days 🇬🇧
🐷
Yeah, the 70's in England.... "Indeed, Britain was hit throughout the 1970s by skyrocketing inflation and unemployment (stagflation, in other words), a wide range of strikes, power cuts, and states of emergency."
Tell us more about "disasters"......
Kinell could have been an interesting character - he's flashly dressed for someone on a Detective Sergeant's pay, he's dour and cynical but he sees things in a different way from other detectives. Even if his social skills are obviously quite poor. Sadly, the performance from John Dunn-Hill isn't really there (and as Kinell only made two appearances, it seems Ron Craddock agreed with me). Btw, I believe the character got his name as a production team joke who wanted to say something that sounded rude during early-evening TV.
Odd seeing Jacki Piper as a house wrecking psycho. She usually played ingenues and other assorted demure young women in the 70s (eg Esther Pidgeon in The Fall & Rise Of Reginald Perrin) - Piper acquits herself quite well, even if her accent traverses the whole of the M6 during her scenes. Frances White, who plays the woman who's house is desecrated is now better known for playing Granny in Peppa Pig.
As someone who walked into the aftermath of a burglary like the one depicted here, I can say it's realistically done - even though I didn't fall apart quite as badly as that. I just stood there and stared, trying to work out a scenario that could explain what I was I seeing that wasn't the obvious one.
He was terrible in Z Cars. was also in the compulsive gambler episode
@@dlamiss We can only assume that John Slater's usual stand-ins (John Collin, Geoffrey Whitehead, Ray Lonnen etc.) were unavailable to cover the Detective Sergeant role.
@@matthewlawrenson3628 Maybe the producer, casting director etc was giving him a chance to see if he could gel and become a regular member of the show but he was awful. Sorry to hear about your own burglary btw
In some ways the good old days. Me Beano comic cost 2p in 1974. £2 today!
What is happening? Police on the streets arresting people, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.
Cars these days are not as nice as back then, OK that don't rust or brake down, but back then everything was better, families sat together and spoke to each other, not now kids don't play outside, hide and seek, or anything, it's all going bonkers
This brings back memories.
I remember Sgt Lynch when he was Sgt Lynch
I remember when he was PC Lynch, along with Fancy Smith and Jock Weir, John Watt and Charlie Barlow.
Used to love Z cars as a child, Just completed a google chrome search and this is from 1974. I was 15/16 back them dependant on month of release.29 -04- 1974 so it would of been 15 so studying for my O levels would of taken priority.
Ditto, except I was 15 and studied my o levels the following year 1975.
I must have watched this on my parents Philips 22 inch colour TV, which had a fairly constant colour fault during some of z cars.
The red would often fade out, leaving the faces a grayish green.
So at least 50 years on I've finally seen it in its proper colour.
Happy days and happy memories.
Yes the episodes I am doing were shown first 50 years ago.Not same dates but May 1974 ok.
I do not know why this Z Cars has gone down as big as it has but thanks.More views than even the mighty Coronation Street get here.
I guess people are curious. The perception is in TV history circles that "good" Z-Cars ended in 1965 and post-67 it was soapy nonsense with a cast that spent too much time larking about. As it went out at 7pm, it was never going to be as "heavy" as SS:Task Force (which went out at 8pm), but it did tackle a few substantial issues in its time eg. ex-officers ruined by the job ("Boy In Blue") and physical abuse of babies ("Innocent And Vulnerable").
Carry on Jackie Piper.
I preferred the original theme tune. Brilliant series, thanks for posting.
And the original cars. I think it was Bert Lynch who referred to the panda cars as "going round like Chi Chi on four wheels"!
I was just asked by you tube to rate this comment, I gave it an "excellent".
Great quality, thanks for uploading.👍
Steve Harris? Iron Maiden's Steve Harris?
LOOL ! Sergeant Boycie !
Correctly pronouncing the title of this great old UK series would be likely to present Americans with a major dilemma!
What Z Cars would cause problems saying title?.
@@SteveHarris-nv9iyI think he means pronouncing the Z as Zee and maybe has some kind of German reference 😂😂😂😹😹
😂
🤣🤣🤣 Randy J. Studebaker III put his Radio Times down, looked at his wife and said "Tammy. What's this on BBC1 tonight, Zee Cars? ZEE CARS??? These Brits sure come up with funny names for their TV shows!"
Zed in English zee in American!
I remember watching this when it was new on TV .Amazing how this seemed so good then and such a Ham and cheese fest now ..............
I think the majority of episodes from this era are very good.Most comments are positive on them as well.
Jimmy Ellis was a very good actor director & writer.
This must of been the new Z cars as I remember it in Black and White around the same time as Dixon of Dock Green. The Theme tune was slightly different on this one . Had to avoid watching it all as today is busy . But noticeable how strong the pull of the episode is in grabbing the viewers attention.
I so remember this tune from when I was a kid
That steering wheel in her mini is SOOOOO Big !.... no power steering in that car I bet.....
Probably on 10” wheels so easy to manoeuvre, I don’t think any of the original shape Minis had power steering.
The days when plod took burglary seriouslu
It was a fiction then, as it is now.
This was a very beautiful, magnificent, rich, skillfully acted well wrtten, well conceived TV series about life in the police force in the 70s. People by pure, highly inteligent, fsmous, big hitter actors. Life was simpler then. People were happier then despie being less well off.
They also died much younger.
The lack of music throughout is, ironically, music to my ears.
SERGEANT AURBURY BOYCEY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS FILMED 50 YEARS AGO I WAS 8 YEAR OLD THEN LIVING IN COVENTRY
I think you might be a couple of years younger than me but I was born in 1963 Coventry, would be interested to know just where you lived

🐷🐷🐷Calm down crackling!
What was kanel supposed to be ? James Cagney,irish,wesh, Scottish, Indian or ?
I watched this just to hear the opening theme tune, for a little trip down memory lane. Nice.
A travesty of the original theme tune !
@@johnbratley6926 I thought it sounded a little thin, not realising that another version existed. Thanks to your comment I did a YT search for the theme and heard what I remembered from the past. The original tune is quite robust, I would hum it when I was a child. Cheers for that.
Kinell. There's a name to conjur with.
I remember the original Z Cars in the 60s before it morphed into Softy Softly, later Softly Softly Task Force because they must have doubted whether people 'got' the title. These later shows with the focus on the CID never seemed as good for some reason. Good to see James Ellis still around at this time. But the resurrected Z Cars was a bit ho hum too. And as for that rearranged theme music someone should be arrested for that........
It’s boycie from only food and horses
I Too lived through the 70s, in fact i think I'm still alive.....
Kirkby Police and fire stations in the opening sequence hasn’t changed much since! Still the same with extra accommodation built under the open pillars
It must have been compulsory to smoke then
A proper blast from the past
Excellent upload, thanks for sharing
I lived through the 70s and it was great like this wonderful tv series
Come on Marlene we're leaving!
Blimey! No 6 cigarettes...a right good blast from the past. The detective Kinnell had the weirdest accent 😆 loved seeing this again 👍 👍 👍
FOR GOWD SAKES MARLENE
Cheap and tatty clothes in a good neighbourhood 😂
BD to Z VICTOR 1, all authentic, BD is still Lancashire Constabulary's call sign and the zulu victor units were a new concept in unmarked crime cars.
Sargent Kinhell. Thats hilarious.
Z Cars the disco years
Shame it didn't show the pretty girl trashing the house😊
Yes one and the same.
'Loitering with intent' was rhe Captain's morning squad talk. What does that even mean today in modern-day England?
Loitering with intent is just about every immigrant it's ever been welcome into that place since your government their government went to shit. England and the entire EU is simply doing it faster than America is!
Well back then it could cover likely to cause a breach of the peace to probable robbery.
Not now Marlene 😊
Is that 'Avon' from Blake's seven?
No in what part?.He isn't in it anyway for sure.
@@SteveHarris-nv9iy If you want to see Avon in Z-Cars, put "Hatfield Z Cars" into the RUclips search. Unsurprisingly, it shows Darrow in a room with all the scenery chewed up.
Method acting that.....looking naturally awkward and self conscious whilst wearing badly fitting clothes...apart from Sgt. Lynch, who seems to be acting.
🤣🤣🤣
4:18 Benecio Del Torro ???
Whats Andrew Lloyd Webber doing in this?
Panda Men…
Great episode! Terrible acting from sergeant kinel!
21:27 where are them two gan
Not diverse enough for me, I want at least 80% ethnics.
Ironically, Kirkby (where Z-Cars was ostensibly based) is one of the least diverse towns in England, being over 98% white.
tad racist, are ye?

I only got to watch TV when around one of my friends homes as my family has never had a TV and I still don't. The reason for me not owning one today is that I don't wish any money I earn to go to the BBC. As far as I'm concerned they should be a subscription channel for those whose willing to support pervo cover uppers, as they did with Savill and the many other paedos. Until I can watch live TV and not pay them one penny I'll not own a TV.
But all channels today have catchup available and some even own RUclips channels. They should place programs like this onto them, showing the complete run of series, from series one till the climax of the show. TV from what I've heard staff talking about today is just crap followed by more crap.
But back to the BBC, they claim not to advertise yet they do, as they also control and own Channel 4 and sky channels whom all advertise. But even the main channels advertise within programs all the time, via product placements. They even advertise they magazines and in their magazines. The sooner they are gone the better for me, at least then I'll be able to own a TV to watch live programmes.
How is RUclips...owned by Google...any different?
@@petebondurant58 Are you really that dumb and poorly educated? BBC is paid for via a mandatory licence for watching any live TV, that makes it a tax for watching live TV. Google is a privately owned company which has competition that people use without having to pay Google a fee. I've also never heard of Google sending salesmen to homes and later getting search warrants to check for possibility of live TV being watched as BBC does all too often. Also I've not heard of Google or any of it's children companies covering up for a number of PEADOS, and turning a blind eye to the going on.
You go on and on about something you self admit to knowing nothing about as you have not had a T V for at least 50 years. All your suggestions already exist . There are plenty of fine , entertaining and informative programs available . LIVE a little buy a TV before it's to late, the utopia of ad free, you are waiting for is not coming in your life time ... I don't know if you are biting off your nose to spite your face , or banging your head against a wall , only because it feels good when you stop. I left England in 1974 at 13 ,still remember Z-Cars more as theater and great entertainment...you have missed so much
@@swcshorty The ad free entertainment is already here, via the internet and has been that way for some time now. I love reading and learn a lot more from doing so.
@@alunchurcher7060 Ya the internet is ad free. Good one
Hey! He’s just said the one about the…………😂
So the big reveal was that she destroyed a room in the house while burglarizing it? That's just standard practice in a burglary these days...
Yes but this is 50 years ago.A bit messed up then to destroy rooms like that would think.
@@SteveHarris-nv9iy Only because that's what they told us on TV. The Kray twins were in full swing with the Firm at the time this was produced and aired. This was fun to watch, I love to watch old propaganda. Thank you for posting it.
Boycee!
5:00 That accent! Should have gone to RADA.
Is this in English? Scottish? I used the subtitles to watch it
It's England maybe London.
A better britain
Aha good old England to be proud of some sort of
🐷🐷🐷 Calm down crackling!
@@QuadriviumNumbers no I won't duckling
I preferred softly softly. Fancy Smith and the gang. Better acting as well. Slightly.
I lived through the 70s and it wasn’t as bad as the 80s
Give over.
The shot in the intro of the two buildings looks exactly like Craiglang from Still Game!
05:00 yep the actor is bad. HE…TALKS..LIKE…THAT. 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Always think the women in these old shows had big beaver like fronts on them ,right bushy ones
Mr wmmey
D rermy
I don't remember that as a kid but it probably never made it to Australia. I wonder if it was better when it first came out but now I see it as a load of b-grade rubbish. Bad acting a d bad script.
Settle down, Wally...no one put a gun to your head and made you watch it.
I'm just saying that it's awful by todays standard. Back then it might've been good. I loved the original Dr Who when I was a kid. Now that I'm nearly 60 I can't watch it.
Why does the CID sergeant speak in such a strange way. Very odd acting style.
For such performances, there are usually 3 potential reasons :
(a) He's not a very good actor.
(b) He was given duff direction.
(c) Both of the above.
On loan from KGB?
I thought that the actor was putting on a bad Scottish accent, as it sounds quite American, almost a John Wayne-type drawl at times, but it seems that he was born in Glasgow!
Awful accent. Awful acting. How did the other actors put up with it...
@@chickenspadgeGlesga accent quite difficult for the novice. When I worked at Stobhill Hospital, my Line Manager couldn't understand my Valleys accent and I couldn't understand his Wedgie accent. We had to get a Geordie to interpret.
When the UK was only Christian and mostly white and life was normal
Thankfully it's more atheist now. Hardly anyone actually believes in all that god bollocks.
The middle class housewife was the only one who spoke decent English. The rest had a variety of accents. Worse than that they swallowed their words and spoke in a garbled manner. The strange idiomatic expressions made things even worse. Upper class British speak beautifully. Why doesn’t this set a standard for the rest of society.
Enjoyable, except from Kinnell, whose accent and acting is dreadful, and I am a West Coast Scotsman,
Wooden acting, poor scripting a very long way away from the original concept. A pale shadow of the gritty first series set in Kirkby and Liverpool. The Bill almost seems believable in comparison. (BTW I'm a retired Merseyside sergeant).
That Sergeant Kinnel was badly acted but otherwise regular cast is fine.You can't call decent actors like John Slater and James Ellis wooden.
I lived through the 70 s it was as crap as this tv series
It went on too long granted but there were still a few decent stories in its later years
Excellent series - more repeats please
Nice classic cars mate .
@@bertiewooster3326yes but they were just cars back then and fairly badly made but we put up with it because we knew no better
Best thing you could smoke in pubs and pubs existed as pubs and bikes and cars had style and little else. Oh and there was actual police knocking about stopping the small stuff. The acting was shocking.
Terrible acting! Terrible local accents! Boring and predictable plot lines! Holy hell British entertainment had a lot of work to do back then!
