I remember watching these on tv in Rhodesia many many moons ago. Thank you for sharing and I am thoroughly enjoying watching them again. Pity they do not show these shows to kids today.
Thanks. Z Cars aired 801 episodes, fewer than 40% survive. Season 1 episode 20, originally aired 15 May 1962. That's exactly how my television looked and worked in 1962 ☺
Extremely interesting story 38 the lads were getting off a Liverpool boat at Woodside which I used as a child got on a crosville bus crossed over the river Dee using the blue iron girder bridge built in 1927 into Queensferry, I used the route thousands of times with my Mother Father and brother, using the F10 F11 bus in 1960-1963 Happer days of my life which I miss, today's world is indeed awful. Foot note the blue bridge opened years ago to let the boats though
It's called the jubilee bridge but locally known as the blue bridge. Was the main route into Wales before the bypass Bridge was built in the 60s..traffic often bumper to bumper and the pubs en route to Rhyl were popular with coach trips

Z cars I seen the colour episodes on DVD and though t I checked out the black and white ones the year it was made more than fifty years later unlike the Sweeney and starsky and hutch the show still stands up more than fifty years later spooky enough the writers predicted the way society was going with today youngsters.
Indeed, children as young as ten could in theory be put before a court but it was rare. The principle was Doli Incapax (incapable of wrong/evil) a child between the ages of ten and fourteen was deemed not capable of having criminal intent unless proved otherwise 9 a rebuttable presumption) so it became a procedure to ask if they knew that what they had done was wrong. The Tories dispensed with this principle, and now we have one of the youngest ages of absolute criminal responsibility in the civilised world. I loved this programme when I was a kid, it took me into the law eventually!!
Paul Harley .. The age of ten is nearly in the middle of the range. It varies from 7 to 15 years old. It is now 'assumed' that the child knew what he/she knew what they were doing was a crime. They must prove or convince the court that they didn't, a much better option I would say. Even so, with the demise of borstals or special schools, it means nothing nowadays as most child criminals are let off without even a slap on the wrist.
Borsals were disgusting places, I don't know what you mean by special schools! Have we not learned that incarcerating children doesn't work, it never did. There will never be an answer to child crime, it's been around forever, very sad tbh.
nice to hear about the old money, 4 farthings 0r 2 halfpennies = 1penny 12pennies =1shilling 144 pennies to the pound florrins half crowns and the rest were for aduts .thrupenny bit an silver sixpence were my favorite
farthings were a thing of the past in 1962 the table goes: 12 pence one shilling 20 shillings one pound 240;pence one pound 40 sixpences one pound 80 thruppences one pound half crown coin = 2/6 coins in circulation: ha’penny, penny, thruppenny bit, sixpenny bit, shilling, half crown niotes (paper): ten shillings, one pound (largest I ever saw), five pounds, don’t know how large they went obsolete coins but you heard the terms sometimes: florins (2 shillings) crown (5 shillings) farthings a guinea was one pound one shilling. There was no such coin or paper note. Shops priced things in guineas because it made them look cheaper, equivalent to modern £1.99, £2.99 etc. Hope this helps.

As far as I remember, the "Z(ed") was derived from the most beautiful car, the Zephyr's 4 and 6, that were revered and loved back in those days and used in Z-Cars. There is one in fully restored condition often seen parked in Chinley (High Peak, Derbyshire), dark blue, 2 Hella 160's mounted in front of the Grille. It is a Zephyr 6. Have photo's of it, just beautiful, nothing like it in the modern day!! Drool..... Probably worth many 100's of thousands of pounds! p.s. I tried to get my Dad to buy a Zephyr but he bought an Austin Cambridge saloon instead, could not afford the Ford Zephyr.....
we saw a crime car a cid car and a station g.p car these were normally unmarked the dog van could be or not depending on the constabulary unmarked crime or area cars were a much debated topic in the 60s anyway until panda cars advent in 1967 most forces markings were very discreet
surely police wouldn't be sent to north wales,from lancs,just to pick up two boys,they would contact welsh police to apprehend them,also,where are the plice cars?, non of the cars were police cars,they were family saloons,zephyre 4,anglia etc,not a blue light in sight,let alone a bell or siren. I was around in the early 60s and know that police cars had bells and blue lights, did they put 12 year olds in court ?, not too sure about that,. apart from that,i enjoyed this episode,but for this lack of detail.

Thank you so much, I’ve always wanted to see these! :)
Excellent. No need to apologise for the quality, in a strange way it enhanced it given the age of the programme. I can remember seeing the original.
brought back memories kids playing chucks, jacks in school yard , all the range in early sixties great
38:58 That MkII Zephyr would have been stuck in first getting up that slope. Oh for a four speed gearbox.
Bloody 'ell - a Consul (Farnham) estate - rare then as hens' teeth - unknown now I reckon.
Very interesting, way before my time.

Wow! that was one faded piece of video tape. You uploaded it just in time.
Half a decade-old comment, but still funny. Tickled me anyhow.

Just my thoughts, if the young ones are only telling you what YOU want to hear. They don't understand.
Saying yes sir , was only an appeasment.
Sorry about my spelling British gave world Stan laurels and great humor God bless the british
nice to hear about the old money, 4 farthings 0r 2 halfpennies = 1penny 12pennies =1shilling 144 pennies to the pound florrins half crowns and the rest were for aduts .thrupenny bit an silver sixpence were my favorite
12 Pence x 20 Shilings = 240 pennies to the pound.
farthings were a thing of the past in 1962
the table goes:
12 pence one shilling
20 shillings one pound
240;pence one pound
40 sixpences one pound
80 thruppences one pound
half crown coin = 2/6
coins in circulation: ha’penny, penny, thruppenny bit, sixpenny bit, shilling, half crown
niotes (paper): ten shillings, one pound (largest I ever saw), five pounds, don’t know how large they went
obsolete coins but you heard the terms sometimes: florins (2 shillings) crown (5 shillings) farthings
a guinea was one pound one shilling. There was no such coin or paper note. Shops priced things in guineas because it made them look cheaper, equivalent to modern £1.99, £2.99 etc.
Hope this helps.
