Yes but a tear comes to my eyes everytime I watch an episode of Life on Mars or 70's classics, must draw the line at BL Alegros and Princes motors mind

I loved Life On Mars so much Don. That Mrs DD purchased me the DVD box set.
At the time I thought the gift was a bit odd as I'd only just finished watching it.
However, many years later the DVD's are still in their cellophane wrapper. And it's about time I watched them again mate

On the subject of 70's Coppering. The husband of my Mums best mate got a commendation for taking a sawn-off shotgun off a guy that was threatening to shoot anyone that came within 6 feet of him.
The press coverage in the local paper made the Cop (a detective) sound like a real hero.
The truth was, he'd come out of the pub & the guy with the sawn-off was between him & where his car was parked.
After the perp was arrested apparently he was treated to a Life On Mars style kicking back at the station.

That kinda 70's Policing definitely had its faults. Especially if you were a person of colour. But normal folk had genuine respect for Cops back then. Therefore they were able to do their job without having to walk on eggshells

So many of the police of my youth were ex-army and were a different cut to the university educated little petals who wear the uniform now. You often get the feeling that they are more scared of the public now than the public is of them.

I'm not going to name names but there's a few folk here who have sported the three button high waister in their youth.

You know who you are.

Yes we do.

I remember the west midlands serious crime squad, kicking in doors and tapping snot boxes all over, what we need today......my opinion

Let's up the ante lads...
Is it "un-cool" to confess to liking Aled Jones rendition of walking in the air?
I'm not an Aled Jones fan & I don't own anything by him. But on that particular track his voice is amazing. And the track itself reminds me of Christmas. Therefore, I'll happily/publicly confess to liking it

I love that song too and I play it every Xmas.

As a trainee solicitor in the 70s I was well aware of my local force’s interrogation methods for those presumed guilty or where clear up rates needed ‘help’.

"Oh yes" as a dog's hind leg and we knew it

Thank you, brings a tear to my eye.

Thought y'all might like this. For me it's the best cover ever of Bohemian Rhapsody and must have taken a hell of a lot of working out and effort.

Another piece from Thomas Gansch and his mob - I didn't even know it was possible to play two trumpets at one time!

The intro to the film "Lord Of War" uses that track to great effect.
