Thanks to our tigger and his abominable Morse I was reminded of Z Cars. "Z-Cars or Z Cars /ˈzɛd ˌkɑːrz/ is a British television drama series centred on the work of mobile uniformed police in the fictional town of Newtown, based on Kirkby, Lancashire. Produced by the BBC, it debuted in January 1962 and ran until September 1978. The series differed sharply from earlier police procedurals. With its less-usual Northern setting, it injected a new element of harsh realism into the image of the police, which some found unwelcome." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Cars |

I am informed that Z-cars was used by SiamPolee in place of a training manual.
As a child I used to watch this on our old black & white set. I believe that black & white TVs are still the norm in Scotland.

Downloaded the complete series some three years back from my private torrent site. Wonderful window back to a long since gone youth too.Yes indeed TTFT it piqued my interest in the police at the time.
