Sitcoms, q1 - about 1700. Black Adder (Series 3 I think) was set round the year 1700.

[TheWinner]

Cheers quinie, it's normally you that gives the best answers.

[TheWinner]

ps I agree with quinie that the answer in Sitcoms is that "Blackadder" is the answer for question 4.

[NazNomad]

Ah, can't Black Adder be for 1 & 4 ;-)

[squarebear]

If 17:00 refers to 5 o'clock, could it be "Clocking Off"?

I think that Section 1, - tv series about police
number (3 ) is The Detectives.
Robert Powell played Dave "lovelace" Briggs.
(and the quote: iron bars etc was apparently by "Lovelace")
quinie may confirm ?

[quinie]

Hi, The Winner, sorry can't confirm. Must admit. I very seldom watch police series
