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 the first series 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 fourth episode was titled Dixie and the description is:
'When things go missing from the Dixon household Doris, the downtrodden girl from next door, is exposed as a petty thief. But it's Mary Dixon who comes to her rescue, against George's wishes, and who earns the admiration of Andy Crawford...'
This episode was first broadcast on BBC Radio Four on Wednesday 6th July 2005.
