David Tennant Treat 4 Today for Saturday 6th June 2020

The David Tennant Treat 4 Today is a MP3 of the second episode of the 2005 BBC Radio Four revival of the classic television police drama Dixon Of Dock Green.

David Tennant starred as PC Andy Crawford in Dixon Of Dock Green which premiered on BBC Radio Four on Wednesday 15th June 2005. It has been repeated several times on both BBC Radio Four and BBC Radio Four Extra since 2005.


Dixon Of Dock Green's roots go back to the 1950 film The Blue Lamp which ended with PC George Dixon (who was famously played on television by Jack Warner) being shot dead.


However, Jack Warner's role was resurrected for the BBC television series which ran for 432 episodes from 1955 to 1976. Each episode famously started with Dixon saying "Evening all."


The theme music used on the radio show was the same which was used on the television series.


David Tennant only appears in Series One as he had commitments to Doctor Who after the recording.


Hamish Clark took over David's role as PC Crawford for the second series. PC George Dixon was played by David Calder on the radio.


There were six episodes in the first radio series.


The second episode was titled Needle In A Haystack and the description is:

'A baby's life is in danger when some pep pills go missing and George Dixon causes a stir at home when he offers PC Crawford the spare room...'

This episode was first broadcast on BBC Radio Four on Wednesday 22nd June 2005.
