- A film written, narrated & produced by Ron Trotter of the Bury Fire Brigade depicting members of the Duty Watch in 1959. Great social history!
Much of the music on the soundtrack is unknown but one section is evidently a piece entitled "Sweet and Lovely" by Alan Braden (this is TRUE - below, the attribution to Alan Broadbent being the composer is FALSE; see here - • SpongeBob SquarePants ...
Alan Braden, an English composer born in 1927, wrote the theme tunes for British sitcoms & light entertainment shows of the 70's & 80's; also being a prominent musical director and arranger.
REQUEST; whoever included the false statement & link below, please correct it.
This is great! I have been a firefighter in the US (Texas) for 29 years, but I was born in 1959, so it's pretty cool to see what the UK fire service was like.....um....uh....56 years ago. Suddenly, I'm depressed.
I want to be a Volunteer Firefighter eventually for my local Twp. in Michigan, United States. I admire the great service United Kingdom brings! Love your work and your apparatus! Miss the cork helmets :(
1967 in the USAF fire protection we stood roll call much the same way at every station house at 0730.Did it in the civilian fire service until the late 2005s or so.Changed not for the good. Ah the old days....
Great Work by the Fireman World Wide.
pugh, pugh, barney mcgrew, Cuthbert. dibble and grub....not forgetting captain flack.These early fire fighters were well trained with strict discipline..
Excellent
cool...we have it so much easier these days..they bred them hard as teak then.
Mr Jack Andrew is my partner's grandfather and Percy Andrew is his great grandfather. I do the family history and was wondering if it would be possible to get a copy on DVD of the "Duty Watch (1959) that I could keep in the family history (for our son). I hope you do not mind me asking.
