Page "Dixon of Dock Green" Paragraph 8

Initially, Dixon continued in the same role as in the film The Blue Lamp, a constable based at the fictitious Dock Green police station in the East End of London, which replaced Paddington Green police station from the film.

The character of Andy Mitchell, the young constable in the film who embarks on a perilous quest to find and bring Tom Riley to justice, became a detective named Andy Crawford ( Peter Byrne ), in the CID at Dock Green, and he was married to Dixon's 23-year-old daughter, Mary, in the 19th episode, Father-in-Law ( 1st Sept 1956 ).

Dixon sings a few songs at the wedding and wishes the viewers goodbye at the end of the episode ( this was the end of series 2 and series 3 was four months away ).

The couple moved to a flat in Chelmsford.
