As a kid in the 70s these cop shows including div4 and solo one were my favourite tv shows . Couldnt wait till the next episodes were on..bluey..was another one...i wanted to be a police man . My favourite was paul cronin..loved that motorbike...used to ride my honda 90 on my relos farm thinking i was solo one..great times they were.
yeah, I was home sick from work one day in maybe 1986-87, and on comes the one where that hoon had the R/T Charger that Gary kept pulling over. Had a tragic ending...the Charger got bent. A very clean used Charger cost about $1500 in those days..ones that were so-so, people sometimes just gave them to you..LOL.
Yes...if they made the show now, you would have a bunch of 170cm men and 155cm women from the 'police service", in baseball caps, "swarming" a bunch of 190cm fuckwit Sudos...whilst making sure to be culturally sensitive and not 'offend' them. and don't utter the word gang.
this really frustrates me, why can't Crawsford DVD, upload these classics on you tube? instead we have to buy them online! I don't want too, Id rather they have these out and onto you tube, where everyone can enjoy them, grrrrrrr
The DVDs are so expensive too. I wished CP would launch a Digital Channel so everyone could watch how drama used to be not all the crap we have now like CSI,
They can’t even get into the 21st century and stream them. Really old fashioned who ever heads up the right’s owner of these. Who has a DVD these days.
Beautiful memories of growing up in the 1970s. What’s going on in Victoria in 2020 is unthinkable. I miss my Australia.
Indeed
A friend of mine from Hungary emigrated there in the 1970s. Fortunately for him, he got out of there 4 years ago.
Pre Dan Andrews Victoria !
Yep, the days before the Victoria Police and Police Association became implements of the ALP.
Utterly disgraceful.
I bought the full series of matlock police on dvd, from crawfords australia in 2016.
Kym from Melbourne l loved this show l could not wait to put on the TV to watch it
I just spent an hour trying to find the road system shown at ten seconds. It's Bairnsdale!
I'd wondered where it was !
Classic Australian police shows should have reruns of them on tv again it would be better than the crap they dish up to us now

bring it back on tv
so many posting the retro Australian police-show themes are cutting out the intro piece to the music...this one has it for Matlock at least..
RIP Paul Cronin
remember reruns in the eighties

The British version of this was ATV's Hunters Walk
I thought Australia got colour tv in 1975 but this is 1974
Test colour transmissions started in late 1974 while it officially started in 1975.
Think they were planning to have repeats eventually.
They started filming in color before the official date,

Brilliant theme and show loved it since a kid. All trashy themes now and even commercial jingles are people whistling random rubbish.
Shit load of resources for a small country town. 😂 😂 😂 😂
No Andy Griffith?
