Exploring the Legacy of "Jack of Diamonds": A Tribute to Dick Emery's Television Mastery
The British television landscape of the early 1980s was graced with a comedic gem that has since become a nostalgic classic for many: "Jack of Diamonds." This series, which aired in 1983, showcased the versatile comedic talent of Dick Emery, a name synonymous with laughter and entertainment in the UK.
"Jack of Diamonds" followed the misadventures of Bernie Weinstock, a private detective portrayed by Emery, who, along with his partner Norman Lugg (played by Tony Selby), searched for a hoard of diamonds hidden since the Second World War. The show was a loose sequel to "Legacy of Murder" and featured Emery in various roles, a testament to his chameleonic ability to bring diverse characters to life with his unique brand of humour.
The series was broadcast several months after Emery's untimely death in January of the same year, adding a layer of poignancy to the show's history. Despite its brief run of six half-hour episodes, "Jack of Diamonds" left an indelible mark on the hearts of its viewers. It was a showcase not only of Emery's comedic genius but also of the collaborative spirit of the cast and crew who brought this story to the screen.
The narrative of "Jack of Diamonds" was a thrilling blend of comedy and mystery, with Emery's character often finding himself in hilariously precarious situations. The show's writing, credited to John and Steven Singer, delivered wit and suspense in equal measure, complemented by the musical compositions of Ronnie Hazlehurst and the costume designs of Pip Bryce.
Dick Emery's legacy in British comedy is vast, with "Jack of Diamonds" being a shining example of his enduring appeal. His ability to engage audiences with his multifaceted performances has cemented his place in the annals of television history. For those who remember the series, it evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when comedy was not just about the laughs but also about the storytelling and the characters that stayed with viewers long after the credits rolled.
As we look back on "Jack of Diamonds," we are reminded of the rich tapestry of British television and the performers like Dick Emery who have left an everlasting impact. It is a series that deserves to be revisited, not only for its entertainment value but also for its cultural significance in the realm of British comedy.
"Jack of Diamonds" may have been a brief chapter in the vast book of British television, but it is one that continues to sparkle with the luster of diamonds, much like the treasure its characters sought. It stands as a tribute to Dick Emery, a performer who knew how to find the humor in every situation and who, even decades later, can still bring a smile to our faces.

00:32Private detectives Bernie Weinstock
00:34and Norman Lugg, together with their
00:36assistant Oliver Ottershaw, have become
00:38involved with Helen Carter.
00:40Her late father, Jack, wrote a wartime
00:42diary which revealed that he hid a large
00:44quantity of diamonds somewhere in
00:46Holland, just before being taken prisoner
00:48by the Germans.
00:50Unfortunately, the last page of the diary
00:52is almost unreadable, neither
00:54the Dutch town nor the hiding place
00:56being revealed. The only decipherable
00:58words are horn, corn
01:00and D-E-S-S.
01:02Also interested in the case
01:04is gang leader Cyril Blackman
01:06and Inspector Dearlove of the
01:08Metropolitan Police.
01:10Bernie and Norman have followed the trail to
01:12Haarsdorp, the Dutch town where Carter
01:14was taken prisoner, not knowing that they've
01:16been preceded by Foxwell and
01:18Billiard, two ex-members of
01:20Carter's wartime platoon.
01:22In a phone call to Oliver in London, the detectives
01:24learn that he has solved the mystery of the
01:26diary's last page. The diamonds
01:28are probably hidden in a statue of a
01:30Greek goddess. Oliver also
01:32tells Bernie that Helen has been kidnapped
01:34and will only be returned in exchange for
01:36Carter's diamonds. Bernie and Norman
01:38learn that the statue which stood in the town square
01:40was looted by a General von
01:42Klaus during the war.
01:44They set off to von Klaus' castle in Bavaria
01:46in an attempt to locate the statue,
01:48but on arrival find the natives
01:50somewhat less than friendly.
01:52On meeting the General, they discover that his
01:54hospitality leaves something to be
01:56desired.
02:06Not a bad little geff.
02:08Wonder what the rates are like.
02:10I wonder what happened
02:12to Foxwell. Well, look at this
02:14place, something nasty. Be quiet!
02:16You wouldn't speak to me like that if you
02:18didn't have that dirty great gun. Silence!
02:20All right, shoot!
02:22You better come a bit closer, otherwise you might miss.
02:24Don't make trouble, Bernie.
02:26Is the Herr General
02:28behind you, old squad? Good.
02:30Move! Where are we going?
02:32The Herr General
02:34wishes to ask you a few questions.
02:36Oh, good. I like a nice quiz.
02:38Come on, Norman. Move!
02:40Oh, all right.
02:48Take that! And that!
02:50You alien swine!
02:52I'll teach you to meddle with Luftwaffe!
02:54Herein!
03:00Try to bomb me,
03:02would you, you treacherous dog?
03:04I will destroy you!
03:06Ha!
03:08Ah, cosmic
03:10monsters. They're good, they are.
03:12Don't think much of me score,
03:14though. I beat that by 10,000.
03:16What? What did you say?
03:18We got one of them in the markers at Granby.
03:20Down the bottom of New Cross High Street.
03:22Well, you've been wiped out, mate. Duffed up.
03:24The Germans
03:26are never defeated. Never!
03:28Oh, yeah? Well, what about
03:30Wembley Stadium, 1966?
03:32That World Cup final?
03:34You are dicing with your lives,
03:36you English pigs! 4-2 to England,
03:38weren't they, Norman? No, no.
03:40The Germans won. I remember it distinctly.
03:42They were great. They played smashing.
03:44I know you're a coward,
03:46Norman, but don't try and rewrite
03:48history. Silence!
03:50That's all anybody ever says round here.
03:52Silence.
03:58Who are you working for?
04:00Nobody.
04:02Honest. Liar!
04:04Oh, now, look, Chief, we're just a couple of
04:06English tourists. I hate
04:08the English.
04:10All right, then. We're a couple of Irish tourists.
04:12You
04:14are trying to lay your hands on
04:16my objet d'art. Oh, don't be
04:18disgusting. You and
04:20the other two are part of a gang
04:22of international art thieves
04:24who are trying to steal my
04:26sculptures and my paintings,
04:28my collection of masterpieces.
04:30Don't be ridiculous.
04:32I couldn't tell a van gosh from a bus
04:34ticket. Only picture I know
04:36is gone with the wind.
04:54I will have you shot
04:56and fed to the pigs.
04:58Oh, there's a switch. Pork eating a Jew.
05:02But first, we will
05:04see if a couple of days without
05:06food and water
05:08will loosen your tongues.
05:10Oh, loosen our belts, I shouldn't
05:12wonder. Excuse
05:14me, would it be possible to phone the
05:16good lady? You see, she gets a bit worried
05:18when I'm away, especially overseas.
05:20Take them away!
05:29It's a damn silly thing to do, Fox,
05:31to try and make a boat for you.
05:33This German general's a nutcase.
05:35He'd knock us off just for the fun of it.
05:39Hey!
05:41See how it is. Ah!
05:43Reinforcements. Nice to have
05:45you aboard. Well, well, well.
05:47Foxwell's mate.
05:49I might have guessed you were
05:51both in the Royal Wessex Regiment.
05:53How did you find out about the diamonds?
05:55I overheard you talking about
05:57diamonds when you first came down to see
05:59Colonel Edgerton. And when you started
06:01asking questions about that insignificant
06:03little Burke cart there, me
06:05and old Georgie have put two and two together
06:07and come up with four. So you've
06:09been one jump ahead of us all the time?
06:11Which makes me wonder about a certain little
06:13Aang grenade that was dropped in a dinghy
06:15in Amsterdam.
06:17We only wanted to delay you for a bit.
06:19You might have delayed us permanently.
06:21I ought to punch you in the uterus!
06:23No, no, no, no, gentlemen, please, please,
06:25fighting amongst ourselves is not going
06:27to get us anywhere at all.
06:29Now, an alliance would be more to the point.
06:31After all, we're all
06:33after the same thing, the diamonds,
06:35which we believe are hidden
06:37in that statue which was looted from
06:39Haarsdorp. Now, that statue
06:41is somewhere within the purlues of this
06:43castle. How did you know the stones
06:45were in the statue? A process of simple
06:47elimination. It was the
06:49only place Carter could have hidden the
06:51stones in the time between leaving
06:53the jeweller's shop and being
06:55captured by the jerrys.
06:57Proper little smart-arse, are you?
06:59Thank you very much. Now,
07:01I propose that we pool our
07:03resources,
07:05that we retrieve the diamonds,
07:07and that we split
07:09the proceeds 50-50.
07:1150-50? With a couple
07:13of villas like you? No chance.
07:15Hang about, Norm. 50%
07:17of something's better than 100% of sweet
07:19Fanny Adams. Oh, I suppose
07:21I better bow to you as the senior
07:23partner. It's a deal, gentlemen.
07:25Before we all get carried away
07:27on a tide of matingness, may I
07:29point out that we are locked in here
07:31with an armed guard outside the door.
07:33How are we going to escape?
07:35Hmm. That's a good
07:37point, Foxy.
07:39What about setting fire
07:41to the furniture?
07:47Yeah, well,
07:49supposing one of us was to slash
07:51his wrists and scream for help. That's a
07:53great idea, Norm. Go on, then.
07:55Oh, no, I didn't mean me.
07:57Hang on.
07:59I've got an idea. Listen.
08:05La la la la la la la
08:07La la la la la la la
08:09La la la la
08:11La la la la
08:13I claim my sword, my conqueror
08:15I claim my sword, my conqueror. What are you doing?
08:17Oh, we're just having a prance about.
08:19You know, it's an old English custom.
08:21You're a man!
08:23La la la la la la la
08:25La la la
08:27La la la
08:29This geezer thinks we're crackers
08:31I'll kick him in the knackers
08:33As soon as I get near his thigh
08:35So stick the boot right in
08:37Burn him when he drops, it's my turn
08:39He'll hit the floor
08:41We're out the door
08:43La la la la la la la la
08:45La la la la la la la
08:47La la la
08:49La la la la la la la
08:51La la la la
08:53Oi, Fred, it's all over. Ginger's asleep.
08:55Oh, sorry, Ben.
08:57Come on, all clear.
08:59Right.
09:01Now, don't forget our arrangement. We all stick together, right?
09:03Of course, old man. One for all and all for one.
09:05Right.
09:15Right.
09:45Ah.
10:12I don't care what it costs, Billy.
10:14I must have that painting.
10:16Ja, ja, natürlich.
10:17Aber supposing he does not wish to sell, Herr General?
10:22Then he will have to be persuaded.
10:26Some of the best pieces in my collection have come from people who were reluctant to part with them.
10:38Look, there it is. We found it.
10:40How are we going to get at it?
10:41I don't know.
10:42By the way, gentlemen, since your last visit,
10:45I have been able to acquire a sketch by Holbein.
10:50A charming little thing.
10:52I should very much like to see it.
10:54Come, I will show you.
11:01Quick, now's our chance, okay?
11:13If Oliver's theory was right, the diamond should be in that hall.
11:16I'm frightened to look in case they're not.
11:18Get us the chair.
11:29Oh, God. Any luck?
11:31Hang on, I've got something.
11:34I've got it.
11:35Bloody hell.
11:39We're all stinking rich.
11:41We'll have to get them back to England first.
11:43I think we'll take care of those, my dear fellow.
11:46They're coming back again.
11:54So, this is your big old room?
11:57Yes, it is.
11:58And what's in there?
12:01So, this is your big old room?
12:04Didn't realise the value of the sketch,
12:07and I was able to get it for a sum.
12:10When it comes to art, Herr General,
12:12I've never met anyone quite as ruthless as you.
12:15I consider one masterpiece to be worth more than a dozen paltry lives.
12:21Another drink, gentlemen.
12:23Come.
12:26Really.
12:27What is this intriguing gossip we hear from the castle's servants, Herr General?
12:32Something about a gang of art thieves.
12:34That is true.
12:36My servants have captured four in all.
12:39The villains are safely under lock and key, I can assure you.
12:45What are you going to do with them?
12:47The scum will be made to suffer.
12:50And when they are no longer amusing,
12:54there are four freshly dug graves in the forest.
12:58Isn't that a little drastic?
13:00Nothing is bad enough for these swine!
13:06And now, gentlemen,
13:08a toast.
13:10To art.
13:14I must cut down on this wine.
13:17I'm drinking too much.
13:19I'm drinking too much.
13:23Luncheon is served, Herr General.
13:25Good.
13:26Come, gentlemen.
13:29We will continue this discussion over lunch.
13:47Oi!
13:48Did you hear what that nutter said?
13:50Yes, I think this calls for a rapid tactical withdrawal.
13:53We haven't got time for that. Let's go up.
13:55I don't know the way out. This place will bargain. We'd better find it.
14:03Halt!
14:08Halt!
14:17Got with him, eh?
14:25Don't come! Don't come!
14:27Cut!
14:28You fool! I'll shoot you!
14:58Cut!
15:12A couple of motorbikes after us, Bird.
15:17Blimey! Blimey!
15:18It's a red pickup.
15:21Come on, Jane, don't worry.
15:23I know what I'm doing.
15:25My gut's going round like a windmill.
15:33Put your foot down, wine-stomper!
15:42My knees aren't playing any longer.
15:44All right, all right.
15:46I'm going to get you.
15:48I'm not playing any longer.
15:50I'm going to get you.
16:12If we can get across that lake, we'll be right outside the Castle Grounds.
16:17There's a bit of that. Look, a boat.
16:29Blimey, Bird, listen to that.
16:33Come on, you two, let's get out of here.
16:35You're not going anywhere, Mr. Winestock.
16:37Nor you, Mr. Lugg.
16:39What a schnook I am. I should have remembered.
16:41You're the dirty, rotten lowlife.
16:43Flattery will get you nowhere.
16:45The diamonds, please.
16:50I hope they turn out to be glass, your rotten basket.
16:53Might as well knock them off, George.
16:55No point in leaving witnesses, eh?
16:57No, Foxy, it's a waste of effort.
16:59We'll leave them to the tender mercy of Herr General and his puppy dogs.
17:03Hey, look out behind you!
17:05Oh, how naive can you get?
17:07That is the oldest trick in the game.
17:15I couldn't have put the handbrake on properly.
17:17You should get a medal for careless driving.
17:19Come on, let's get out of here.
17:24Now you stay and have fun with the puppy dogs.
17:26Come on, Bird, hurry up!
17:28All right, I'm hurrying, aren't I?
17:42What's the rollie?
17:44How on earth did you know it was me, Mr. Weinstock?
17:46I recognize your aftershave.
17:48What have you got all that funny gear on for?
17:50I'm trying to avoid the police.
17:52Picked up another parking ticket, have you?
17:54I'm terribly sorry to see that you've been injured, sir.
17:56You didn't tell me when you phoned.
17:58Did that happen when you were escaping from the castle?
18:00No, there's nothing wrong with me.
18:02Then why are you limping?
18:04Because I came through customs
18:06with about five million quid's worth of diamonds
18:08stuffed in me top strap.
18:10Oh, I see.
18:12I've probably got the British crutch in the phone.
18:18Anyway, what are you doing on the not from the law then?
18:20Well, since you've phoned,
18:22the kidnappers have been in touch with me again.
18:24How?
18:26Well, they rang me at the office from a public call box
18:28and they said they were fast losing their patience.
18:30So I had to tell them that you were on your way back with the diamonds.
18:32They want to do the exchange tomorrow evening.
18:34They hand over Miss Carter and we hand over the diamonds.
18:36Oh, and the chap on the phone was most explicit.
18:38No police, or in his words,
18:40the lady gets the chop.
18:42Oh, so that's why you're wearing all that funny gear.
18:44Well, I didn't know if Inspector Dearlove was having me followed.
18:46So I thought I'd better take precautions.
18:48Good thinking, mate. Where's this handover supposed to take place?
18:50Blackpool.
18:52Blackpool?
18:54Why out there?
18:56I don't know. Maybe the crooks are up there on holiday.
18:58Or perhaps these villains are all masquerading as seaside landladies.
19:00Anyway, what happens when we get up there?
19:02You, Mr. Weinstock,
19:04are to go to the pleasure beach at 9.30 tomorrow evening.
19:06You are to be wearing a kiss me quick hat
19:08and eating candyfloss.
19:10So I look like everyone else.
19:12Well, what then?
19:14Well, you will be contacted with further instructions.
19:16Here, Bernie, I've just had a marvellous idea.
19:18Since these villains don't know how many diamonds we've got,
19:20we can give them half.
19:22What am I saying?
19:24Quarter.
19:26This chappy did go on to say that if any of us were ever connected,
19:28even remotely, with the sale or disposition of diamonds,
19:30serious reprisals would be taken.
19:32What, if don't frighten me?
19:34Against Miss Carter.
19:36Well, there you are then, Norm.
19:38That knocks your idea off the head.
19:40Oh, it makes you sick, don't it?
19:42We get our hands on the diamonds against all the odds
19:44and now we've got to hand them over to a bunch of thieving villains.
19:46Oh, I know it's tough,
19:48but Helen's life is worth more than the stones.
19:50Yeah, I know. Seems such a shame.
19:52Anyway, all is not lost.
19:54We've got from now until tomorrow to make plans.
19:56We'll find a nice quiet place and have a little think.
19:58Well, I've got Mummy's rolls in the car park.
20:00Good. That means we've got some time for all this.
20:06Hello, Mr. Weinstock and your fellow sleuth.
20:08How lovely to see you.
20:10Salutations, dear lady.
20:12What's your mum doing here?
20:14I'm sorry, but where the rolls goes, Mummy goes.
20:16Hop aboard, everyone. There's a picnic box at the back.
20:18Can't get good food north of Watford, I'm told.
20:20Not that I've been there myself, of course.
20:24After you, Oliver.
20:26Oh, Mr. Weinstock, please.
20:28Oh, thank you very much.
20:30Come on, Norm.
20:32It goes against the grain, you know.
20:34Total revulsion.
20:36Is that a fact?
20:38Salut, Norm.
20:40I'm sure the comrades run the train up to Blackpool
20:42for you High Principal brothers.
20:44Hold on, Berne.
20:46It was only an ideological joke.
20:48I vote Liberal anyway.
20:50Excusez-moi.
20:52Excusez-moi.
21:04Ha-ha-ha-ha!
21:06Ha-ha-ha-ha!
21:08Ha-ha-ha-ha!
21:14Why don't you wear a mask, Norm?
21:16Somebody might recognise you.
21:18Very funny.
21:20Stupid little git.
21:34Ha-ha-ha-ha!
21:42Mr. Weinstock?
21:44Yes?
21:46You've had a ride.
21:48Paid for.
21:50All aboard.
21:52Ha-ha-ha-ha!
21:54Woo-hoo!
22:00Ha-ha-ha-ha!
22:02I'm all right.
22:04Ha-ha-ha-ha!
22:08Grrrr!
22:10Grrrr!
22:14Grrrr!
22:16Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
22:18Grrrr!
22:20Grrrr!
22:22Grrrr!
22:24Grrrr!
22:26Grrrr!
22:32Grrrr!
22:50Ha-ha-ha!
22:52Ha-ha-ha-ha!
22:54Grrrr!
22:56Grrrr!
22:58Grrrr!
23:00Grrrr!
23:18The Big Dipper.
23:20Ten o'clock.
23:22Wine stock?
23:24Yes, that's me.
23:26Your carriage awaits.
23:28Oh, thank you.
23:30You'll find it's the ride of your life.
23:52Whoa-ho-ho!
23:54Whoa-ho-ho!
24:22Oh, my God.
24:24I'm closer to you than I ever was before.
24:26I promise I'll lay off the booze
24:28and the ham sandwiches
24:30as long as you don't cast me down.
24:32Wine stock?
24:34Yes, Lord?
24:36Wine stock.
24:40The diamonds.
24:42Chuck them over.
24:44Not until you hand over Miss Clancy.
24:46Oh, no, no, no.
24:48No, no, no.
24:50Chuck them over.
24:52Not until you hand over Miss Carter.
24:54She's here.
24:58Now, go on, the diamonds
25:00or the little lady takes a dive.
25:06Very sensible.
25:12There you go, guv.
25:14Catch a falling star
25:16and put it in your pocket.
25:18Save it for a rainy day.
25:22Right.
25:24Well, we're going down now.
25:26You're going to take another ride.
25:28There's no charge while I make a getaway.
25:30Got it?
25:44All right.
26:04Don't worry, Helen.
26:06Everything's under control.
26:08Come in, Ollie.
26:10Frilidros receiving you.
26:12You good, buddy?
26:14Tell Oliver Helen's all right.
26:16The kidnappers are heading for the main entrance.
26:18There's four of them.
26:20You heard Mr. Winestock.
26:22Now off you go and stop the bandits.
26:24This way, guv.
26:26The car's over here.
26:28Oh, my God.
26:30He's coming for the game.
26:32Oh, thank you, Bernie.
26:34That's all right, my love. Come on.
26:38I know what I'll beat.
27:02In a hurry, are we, sir?
27:04I thought you and I might have a little chat.
27:06Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
27:12What I don't understand is how Inspector Dearlove
27:14managed to pop up out of the blue like that.
27:16You've a lot to learn, son, you have.
27:18I bet you had the phone in the office bugged
27:20when you told her that Helen had been kidnapped.
27:22He used us to flush out the villains
27:24and was there to pick up the pieces.
27:26Frilidros to Jellydeal.
27:28Come in, Jellydeal.
27:30Ah, Jellydeal's here.
27:32Is the restaurant OK?
27:34Oh, yes, first class, your ladyship, first class.
27:36Don't forget the meals are on me.
27:38Ten-four, good buddy.
27:40She's a knockout, your mum, you know.
27:42She really is.
27:44If she hadn't thought of these CB radio walkie-talkies,
27:46we'd be in dead stoop.
27:48Well, I'm just happy to be alive.
27:50Ah, good morning, all.
27:52Good morning. Enjoying your lunch?
27:54Mmm, lovely.
27:56Well, I've got some remarkably good news for you lot.
27:58Oh, yeah? What's that?
28:00I heard from the Yard this morning.
28:02They've been on to the Dutch authorities
28:04and apparently you're in line
28:06for the reward of 5% of the value of the diamonds,
28:08about a quarter of a million quid.
28:10Oh!
28:12Well, there you are, sir.
28:14All's well that ends well, eh?
28:16Yeah, but you, uh,
28:18you haven't found that car I had nicked,
28:20have you, that Rover?
28:22Ah, now, talking of Rovers, this'll give you a bit of a laugh.
28:24By pure coincidence, I bought mine
28:26at the used car showrooms
28:28owned by that Sewell Blackman who made collard last night.
28:30Ho, ho, ho, ho!
28:32Oh, that's nice. It's a nice car to drive, though, isn't it?
28:34Yes. Pity the interior light doesn't work, though.
28:36Didn't on mine, either.
28:38And the clock's stuck at ten to four.
28:40Where? Oh, it is on mine?
28:42There's a small dent on the offside wing.
28:46You're kidding, Inspector.
28:48Do you know what?
28:50He's found my car!
28:52Ha, ha, ha, ha!
