From BBC Radio 4 Extra:
George Dixon is showing new boy in blue, Andy Crawford, the ropes on the beat of Dock Green in London's East End.
1/6: Much to PC Crawford's surprise, Dixon is prepared to bend the rules in order to arrest one of a gang of safe breakers.
2/6: A baby's life is in danger when some pep pills go missing and George Dixon causes a stir at home when he offers PC Crawford the spare room...
3/6: Some unsavoury postcards turn up on the Dock Green beat and the link to a recent spate of bicycle thefts makes PC Andy Crawford desperate to notch up his first arrest.
4/6: When things go missing from the Dixon household Doris, the downtrodden girl from next door, is exposed as a petty thief. But it's Mary Dixon who comes to her rescue, against George's wishes, and who earns the admiration of Andy Crawford...
5/6: When a fanatical Spurs fan has his prized football rattle stolen, an FA cup tie provides the perfect excuse for a weekend away in Blackpool for Andy and Mary.
6/6: Mary and Andy have some exciting news for George, but he's nowhere to be found - and on the other side of Dock Green, a desperate young man with a gun is on the run.
Radio revival of BBC TV's famous copper starring David Calder as PC George Dixon, David Tennant as Andy Crawford and Jacob Dylan Thomas as Fred Jenkins/ Lenny Judd.
Written by Ted Willis. Dramatised from his TV screenplay by Sue Rodwell.
Dixon of Dock Green's roots go back to 1950 film drama 'The Blue Lamp' which ended with Dixon being shot dead. However, Warner's role was resurrected for the BBC TV series running from 1955 to 1976.
Produced in Bristol by Jeremy Howell and Viv Beeby.
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2005.
