The Blue Lamp by Ted Willis
The Blue Lamp
A pair of London hoodlums, rejected by the established criminal set, execute a spate of robberies which finally results in the death of a policeman. This vintage drama by Ted Willis and Jan Read was based on their original treatment for the 1950 Ealing Studios film that introduced the character of PC George Dixon, who went on to appear in the long running TV series Dixon of Dock Green.
