👍 I'm an American new to classic British TV programming & came upon Gideon's Way. How lucky am I, this was & still is, gr8 television. Well-written, well-performed & excellent premise. GW's surely stood the test of time, I just love it. I've binged-watched all week & have yet to come across a subpar episode! I was definitely born too late & long to live during that era in history, everything abt it reflects such gentility. The actors, clothing, furnishings & decorum of the times are sorely missed today. Thank u for bringing classic programming to TH-cam, you've enriched our lives, i just love it!👏👏
I'm pleased you got to see it! When I was very young, John Gregson came to my town to open what we call a jumble sale. Like a flea market. I went along on my own, about 9yrs I think. He said his new series 'Gideon's Way' was starting that night and be sure to watch it. I didn't know who he was! Watched it and became a fan of that and him. If you can, search for a movie called 'Genevieve' with him in it. It's brilliant and a great old British classic.
@@robinvn 🥹How cool was that! U my dear were an intrepid lil lass, at 9 yrs old I didn't have the moxie to strike off by myself on such an adventure; thank u for sharing ur precious memory with me, just too lovely!

Such a pleasure to hear the English language spoken as it used to be without today's inflections which grate on the ears... And see those beautiful cars!
Alex Davion was a great actor, he could be a charming romantic leading man, a dashing hero, or a despicable villain and be utterly convincing at all three.
I agree. I didn’t know anything at all about this series but I saw a picture of him in one of the videos and that decided me to watch the entire series. This is the first one that I’m watching now.
Was watching this on sky. But only saw a few. And it ended. I was sorry I had missed it. We are an older couple so like these sort of programmes. They are of our time. Thank you so much for posting this. 🤗⚘🤗⚘
33:19 - the hotel sign - advertising that they had 'hot and cold water'! Those were the days! Also noteworthy, especially now in April 2021 when protesters against the proposed new police powers bill are attacked by the police in riot gear, with batons, dogs and horses, is how in 1964 the police actively supported the right to demonstrate - no matter the opinions or ideology of the demonstrators; because freedom of speech - any speech - was one of the most fundamental cornerstones of our democracy. None of us then could have believed that these present times could ever be possible. Anyway, a very good series. Thank you.
Are you speaking on UK police or U. S. police? Because U. S. police in 1964 attacked civil rights activists with dogs, and water hoses and brutally beat them. So in 2021/2022, nothing has really changed about them.
@@lifewithklc You raise a good point. I was thinking only about the UK, as in this film. The U.S.A has always been a more violent place. Now, as you say, little has changed there. But here in England it's noticeable that the quality of the police is deteriorating, and they're now ready with violence, whenever the politicians direct them, against demonstators much milder than the kinds that they would have forcefully protected in the 1960s, as shown in the first few minutes here. It's a global phenomenon too. We're in an age where governments all over are trying to shift towards totalitarianism. Every so often, throughout history, we have to fight to preserve our basic rights against dictators or would-be dictators - that's just how humans are - and that time is getting very close again now.
When corporate interests install governments ( it started with Musso in 1922), then things tend to go irreversibly fascist (and you can't make a stand against it because you're outgunned).
The police (five of them) recently raided a pub in Essex to confiscate a Golliwog collection; a farmer I know in Teesdale had suspects on premises and the cops said they "did not have the resources" to send anyone. He was told to let them take the gear and claim on his insurance. It would have been a Monty Python sketch in my day. Anyway, Gregson and Dinah Sheridan were able to generate a great comment regarding hotels and hot water in Genevieve...after complaining about the lack thereof, a sweet little old lady asked, "Are they Americans?" ;-) Those were indeed the days.
I just discovered this show and it is cool. It's based on the same author who created " The Baron". I know it played here in Canada on the CBC in 1965.
I love 💕 that Cathy is wearing a straight skirt and sweater. That was so popular at that time. I wore them myself and I’ve gotta admit that the boys that they looked pretty good 😊 on me. 😊😊😊😊😅😅😅
Politics! This episode was filmed 58 years ago, but as the French writer Karr wrote, “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose “ - the more things change, the more they stay the same.
When my husband and I got married he had a bright blue TR Three Triumph. It was beautiful and boy, could that car 🚙 get up and go. I drove it once and I told my husband that I didn’t want to drive it again. It was just entirely too tempting to punch the accelerator and feel us fly. 🚙🚙🚙😅😅😅
They really left no doubt with the set design of Lord Vane's flat, from the ceremonial dagger on the wall to a picture of Hitler himself. Keep in mind that any of the actors in their forties at the time most likely was in the service twenty years earlier. Even the younger actors experienced the war in some kind of way during their childhood years.
Thanks for posting! Wow - the opening prologue is pretty explicit regarding the white nationalist speech - talks about repatriating black people, "international financiers" etc, then actually says that dog whistle but it's clearly been muted out - I have no idea how this episode would have gone down in the States, which ITC sold it to - bet it was heavily cut or never aired at all. Stunning for its time, and anchored by the late, great John Gregson. Always enjoyed watching these ITC shows when I was a kid.
I was a child at the time, however I do remember some of these attitudes, but they would be classed as quite extreme by most, though there are still echoes of these sentiments today! Without prejudice. Regards from England. ✌💚🙏🇬🇧
The show's intro theme music is so cheerful that it makes you think you're about to watch a comedy. The deadly seriousness of the crimes in the episodes are jarring and completely incongruous to the theme music.

@gailmarks3472 This episode is about fascism and that's what's going on in America now. I'm 67 and left America ten years ago. America today is very similar to Nazi Germany in the 1930s. I don't know how old you are, but for people my age not to see it, you are either blind or have your head buried in the sand. From the white supremists to the proud boys to Jan 6th. It's more than obvious where America is going.
In these day it was mostly bed to work for your parents smoking was there top pastime next to drinking Very few tv sets until 1960s nothing like todays world you'd never have takeaway food delivery to house Money was not like today ' it was far tougher you went to work if a boy at twelve years of age wouldent Happen in 2021 yet today people smoke cannabis ' do heavy drugs ' drink n eat much much more If you compare people smoking then with todays addictions today is worse for everyone
Smoking in the house was not the worst situation - in those days - pre seat belts - it was usual for the youngest child to sit in the middle of the back seat - - to be surrounded by four adults - all smoking. So if passive smoking did not get you - flying through the front windshield following a car smash was certainly a quicker way to go. (ex youngest child - never been a smoker - no prizes for guessing why).🥵🥵
That opening scene, if there are any sane people left in Britain, I bet they wish they had listened to guys like this back in '64! If they had, today they'd still have a country--and a future.
11:27 -- This kid is a dead ringer for Jerry Mathers (Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver, from the American sitcom "Leave It to Beaver"). I assume it's not really him, since this boy has a British accent. UPDATE: The younger son, Malcolm, was played by Giles Watling, who today is a British politician in the Conservative Party. So the bit about the boy running for "political office" at school was rather prescient!
Not even half way through, and I know I'll be watching it again, if not for the political dialogue alone. Very interesting so far! Love the picture of Adolf hanging by the doorway 😂🤣😂🤣 ✌💚🙏🇬🇧
I love Mr Parsons, what a guy, says what he thinks, doesnt beat around the bush. He detests the evil of socialism, the blight and scourge of the last 100 years, the people of love and peace, couigh cough. I detest any isms of the world. Loved this series when I was a kid, still love it.
Socialism, which has created everything of worth in this country since the war. But I know you people with your hard-ons for 'sting leaders'. No doubt you have pictures of Putin, Modi, Bolinsaro and Trump on your walls.
A good photographer or camera man will put the individual with the pinhead in the foreground, so that with foreshortening, the head sizes will appear more nearly the same size, _unless_ of course, the difference in head sizes is significant to the theme: 27:48 and 29:30
Don't expect too sympathetic a picture of a Mosley-type movement from producer Monty Berman or director Cyril Frankel! Scripter Alun Falconer was a New Zealander who had written two interesting, underrated Britpix: 'The Man Upstairs', a thriller unfolding in real time backed by the technicians' union, and 'Never Let Go', Peter Sellers's first straight role- as a violent crime boss.
I think one of the Detective Policemen played a right-wing character in another of Monty Berman's characterisations a few years later - in The Saint, and Probably in the Persuaders too !
That is one thing i cannot understand the english police never carry guns like they do in the rest of Europe they could have shot miles before he shot the other guy silly
Hanging still the price for murder in 1964 UK. But alas, the woke left soon scraped the thousands of years old extreme penalty for extreme evil, and the UK lesser nation ever since for this leniency.
Slide for UK set in long before sixties. UK decline in power and wealth started as early as world war one. Cost of that war and debt to USA forced UK to debase its sterling currency as early as 1920 !
No it was very fair to both sides. Both sides could be equally fanatic. I was about the same age as Gidieon's son at that time. Though not living in London, but it was a kalidiscope on the streets.
