  • In our first series introduction to Blue Watch, we learn that the Blackwall Boys are gathering money for charity using old brigade equipment only for it to come up missing and trigger an investigation by the police. In terms of shouts a cat gets caught up a tree, Vaseline's boots catch fire at a house fire leading to a hospitalization, a yuppie gets cemented in his toilet by some robbers, and a depressed elderly woman commits suicide by jumping into a carriageway causing a massive accident.

    I loved this program so so much. It was killed off when it turned into a soap. We’ll never experience something so good as this. Die hard LB fans know exactly what I’m on about.

      Yes, they will n3ver be another blackwall because they killed it too late, and all the plots in 2002 were shite

    This show was very close to my heart. My Dad was LFB until 1983. He was watching the pilot/film when he passed away in Dec 86. Proper mans man. Miss him and think of him every time i see episodes of London's Burning. Thanks for posting these. 💙

      I remember watching the pilot and was absolutely hooked from the start… it must be so tough for you to have such a painful memory re the pilot, yet at the same time, such pride in your Dad’s work and how London’s Burning showcased it for years. I love watching the old series, but feel old and wonder where the years went… x

    Absolutely fantastic! That road accident scene was exceptionally well done,but, best of all, are the warmth of the characters, the script, as well as a pretty fine score by Roland Rivron and Simon Brint.

    Coming back to watch this over again as I enjoyed it the first time, I'm at the part where Dorothy has been buying all sorts of stuff with credit cards which Tony knew nothing about. She says it's not her fault and, in a way, she's right. I've had many forms to fill in from banks for credit cards, but I've thrown every one in the bin. They play on the weak and gullible who are most likely to accept. It's tragic for many people who haven't a hope of paying, but for some it is an illness who get a thrill out of buying things they can't pay for, and worry about that later. I have never owned a credit card in my life and I'm 73 years old. I will always remember my dad's words to me that "if you can't pay in cash, you can't afford it" and I've stuck by that. Never a lender nor a borrower be. (Shakespeare).

      I agree with everything you've said except that it's not her fault. If you know you're sick, then you get help. Just like if you were addicted to anything else.

    Like most others on here who have commented, I used to love London's Burning when it was first on TV. All the characters are great and were well cast. I particularly love that old fire appliance they were dragging onto the street. What a beautiful piece of machinery, but during the time they were actually in use, it must have taken an awful lot of strength to get it to where it needed to be as it couldn't be driven, unless it ran on steam, and even then it would be slow. 😀

      The show doesn’t use the Dennis appliances until Series 4 which look different to those featured in the turnout shots. The production team used clips of the real Dockhead appliances turning out even though they are completely different machines.

      Yes the footage used is the real LFB appliances based at Dockhead at the time NYV702/3Y Dennis SS 131 Model, the Dennis models used from Series 3 are RS 133 models which LFB never had in reality and are actually from South Yorkshire.
