Guy's and gals,

this is a long shot, but can anyone remember the name of a programme about a Paramedic crew in LA. It was on in the early 80's might even have been the late late 70's. The paramedic unit was called Emergency 51. I remember this being my all time fav as a kid.

Been having an 80's nostalgia afternoon, having just bought the CHiP's Series 1 DVD.

Edit just found it on YouTube!!!

Only a matter of time before the action figures follow my friend! Ponch & Jon have pride of place on the windowsill at the moment, having seemingly teamed up with Rosco and Boss to arrest the Dukes! :-)

Yup it was, Play have the box sets for Region 1 players would need to get a new DVD player or will the PS3 play multi region (he says trying to find the manual!!)

There was another one too which I vaguely remeber it was American and the small towns fire and ambulance was run by volunteers, I remember watching it when I was off school with Scarlet Fever. But I can't remember another thing about it.

Brilliant Sundance..thank's I've just looked it on tv ark, it was indeed Spearhead! it's been buggin me for ages.. :-D

Don't know why but air planes off the telly, always stick in my mind from childhood? "Sally B" from We'll meet agian was also a big fave'..& that drama set after the second world war, about a demobed pilot,played by Roy Marsden, who was starting up a air freight business with 2 Dakota's, now what was that one called?

i only guessed Spearhead because i was looking at wikipedia a few months ago and saw about it on there and it fit the period.

All the good shows aren't available. Tales of the golden Monkey, Logans Run, When things were Rotten, Chelmsford 123. Its diabolical I tell ya.
