New Scotland Yard

New Scotland Yard – 1972


This series ran for four years and was made by LWT for the ITV network. It came about at the same time that the police moved from Scotland Yard to the New Scotland Yard, along with the very futuristic revolving sign outside.
This was the sister series to Special Branch.

70’s Televison

What an amazing piece of kit our telly was. Can you imagine having to change channel by turning a knob to tune in BBC2 and forever getting up to realign the aerial and contrast, and the only way to stop the picture from rolling was to give the set a good thump? Do you remember that we only have three channels to watch? Thinking about it, the conversation was better at school next day as everyone seemed to be watching the same thing unlike nowadays where we have too much choice. Aye, the quality of programmes seem to have dwindled when you think back to what we had in our days.
