I bet he cant even do the theme tune from Z Cars Tom !

OK boldie, lets start with an easy one. Cagney and Lacey.

I don't know that one, but I know the Z-Cars theme tune. I don't know Bodie & Doyle, either, but I recall Ironside, Perry Mason, & Dixon of Dock Green. ("Evening all").

I heard that Dixon of Dock Green was done live to air. Imagine that?

I was not aware of that Tom, but I'm sure it's true. There is a Wikipidea page about the show here.....

Something really odd about TV work is that recorded shows take for ever - a half-hour Show seems to take 4 hours to make, (especially if Compo is involved) & a 10 minute interview an hour. But Live Shows go like clockwork, in real-time. And I'm about to do just that. Pretty neat bit of spamming there, eh?

I'm wrong. It was Z cars that was done live.

From Wikipedia

Z-Cars is incomplete in the archives. 1962-5 is reasonably well represented , though with big gaps. With the 1967 revival, material becomes more patchy. 1967, 1969 and 1970 each have small numbers of surviving episodes. The years 1968 and 1971, when the series was shown almost every week, have no surviving episodes. Around half of the total episodes survive.

The original series was one of the last British television dramas screened live regularly — already rare by the time the programme began in 1962. It was felt that this helped immediacy and pace, and episodes were live as late as 1965, despite cameras appearing in shot. Most were videotaped for repeat, but the BBC regularly wiped tapes after programmes exceeded their usefulness, agreements with unions meaning they could only be shown a limited number of times. The space needed to store large videotapes , as well as the expense when they could be re-used, were factors.

I will just say this. If it was proved that the moon landings were all a hoax, it wouldn't surprise me. It's such an amazing thing to do that I have trouble believing it.

If you get the chance check out the documentary, In the Shadow of the Moon.

Those guys are so ordinary, yet extraordinary. Imagine to look up at the Moon & think, yep been there, amazing.

you're not wrong Tony, used to drive me mad. I've spent 2 days working on a 30 second TV commercial before with so many disastrous takes while filming something 'as live' (don't think I've ever done actual live) tends to run flawlessly every time.

That's funny Tom, good job you didn't get caught as you'd not've had a cat in hell's chance of getting anyone from the local constabulary to believe that story.

I had a second hand one of those 3L Capri's with the lump on the bonnet to acommodate the engine around 1980.

Really Ralph? Would that have been the MK3 "Bodie and Doyle" model? 

I didn't know you were a bit of a boy racer. I bet it was a real fanny magnet.

Well the truth is I only had it for a couple of weeks while I advertised it and then sold it for a mate who left it with me.

Funnily enough there was a right knock in the engine and I had to cough loudly every time i put it into gear. I think I sold it for around £400. I do not remember being any more drop-dead-gorgers than usual during that period
