Policing London - Lies
🕑 Added 2020-01-10 18:30:00 +0000 UTCThis episode is a little unusual because Rob had to film it before we went on holiday... which meant only the first two episodes were out. So here's answers to the questions we saw on those first two episodes as well as some fun details and facts about episodes 3, 4, and 5.
If you had some specific questions on those episodes, put it on this post and we'll try to do a write up of those answers later on in the month.

As well as children's books the London Police also often appear in TV Drama series...one successful one was "Dixon of Dock Green," broadcast from 1955 until 1976 and featured a main character who was supposed to embody the typical British "Bobby" familiar with the area he patrolled and who often lived there himself. At the start of each episode, Dixon ~ who was played by Jack Warner, an experienced actor ~ would greet the audience with a salute and the words "Good Evening, all" [which later just became "Evening all] and is still used as a greeting to this day, and even caused controversy when a proposed change to the Metropolitan Police rules would have forbidden its officers from using the greeting!
