Throughout June 2005  David played the role of PC Andy Crawford in the new Radio 4 adaptation of the classic police drama, Dixon Of Dock Green.
The show will also star Lawless actor David Calder as George Dixon and EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks as Dixon's daughter. A series of six programmes will be broadcast in June and will be based on the original TV scripts.
The BBC One series, starring Jack Warner, ran from 1955 to 1976 and was one of the most popular shows of its day, watched by over 14 million people. Set in the East End of London, Dixon of Dock Green focused on the everyday routine tasks of local police, troubled mainly by low-level crime. Compared to contemporary police dramas, the show was gentle and slow-paced, summed up by the comforting central character of Dixon with his catchphrase "Evenin' all". The end of every episode saw him standing beneath the police station's lamp giving his thoughts on the day before walking off and whistling. The series was the creation of writer Ted Willis and was voted the second most popular show on TV in 1961.
