Description

In this episode, Charlie & George are hitting the streets of LA to revisit cult comedy TV show adaptation, Dragnet!

They delve into the production of one of 1987's biggest hits, very
much a passion project for writer and star Dan Ackroyd, co-starring a then-up-and-coming actor called Tom Hanks and directed by Bond alumni, Tom Mankiewicz.

There's also chat around the legacy of Dragnet, some alternative
casting, and the bizarre craze of a tie-in rap song - so a whole lot
more than just the facts, maam!
