Todays post from
@TVFilmPodcastUK
celebrating the character of John Hallam has really got me remembering back to his death in the show. Series 9, Episode 5, 1996. Is there a more devastating and powerful episode in the entire history of London’s Burning?

So 30 years ago today Series 1 of Londons Burning was aired on tv! It brings back so many memories. Looking forward to the big fire each week, being allowed to stay up late to watch it and seeing on the tv the places where I live are the main ones. Great times!

The best ever episode of London’s Burning, for me, was Episode 9 of Series 4. The huge warehouse fire that endangered Blue Watch. And rather unbelievably, that episode was aired 30 YEARS AGO today. 24th November 1991. Crazy!

A few days ago I found a couple of pictures online taken in Shad Thames in the late 1980’s, absolutely incredible to see how i remember it as a kid. I stood in the same spot this morning to see what it looks like today. All just a stones throw from “Blackwall” fire station

Today would have been everyone’s favourite firefighter, Mike ‘Bayleaf’ Wilson of Blackwall’s Blue Watch’s birthday 🥳🎂 James Hazeldine would have been 72 today. Bayleaf was Blue Watch’s 🔥💙 mess manager from the movie in 1986 to s8:16. Sadly missed

The ending sequence of The London’s Burning Pilot movie. It’s brilliant. And for all you Bermondsey lovers, you get a great view of how Dockhead and Surrounding streets looked in the late 1980’s

I feel that Bert “Sicknote” Quigley would be a great person to help people battle the corona virus. He’d be leading campaigns, promoting social distancing, handing out masks and gloves....and hopefully not be tempted by a moody stint of self isolation!!
