Chinese Judge TV series

[Danny]

OK then,

I've been on-line tryng to find this and even remember what it was called..
JUDGE DREAD

Not the reggae singer with suggestive lyrics and not the lawman of the future ( I know that was DREDD but whatever )

This was a very early seventies series set in like Ming Dynasty China.

He was judge, jury and executioner for the Emperor and went from peasant village to big city dispensing his own brand of justice along the way , every time he gave his verdict and pronOunced the death sentence a gong chimed ( just like the start of a Rank film )

As I said I can't find a reference to it so can anyone please help?

Hi Danny,I've never heard of this programme but I do remember getting into trouble years ago for playing the whole of "up with the ****" ,Judge Dread over my c b radio.

Always thought he was much more entertaining than that annoying little git who used to come on 'That's Life' and then release so-called comedy records

He also done a cover of Mike Sarne & Wendy Richards "come outside", I think its a b side to "xmas in dreadland".

ROFL !! Never mind Danny - we all make mistakes, and at least it's given Doc Cox and a few others some airing too..... lets see what else gets brought up
