To describe something as "a bit Z Cars" - WTF?

I'd say clunky and old fashioned (or possibly black and white?). Not exactly a modern reference though ?

I think it was a police programme (a bit like The Bill) from the 60s/70s.

Da da da de da da... i still remember the theme music

1970s daytime cop drama.

tut! the yoof of today ?

My mum and dad were always saying how they liked z cars but mum apparently prefered Dixon of Dock Green.

If I was good I was allowed to stay up and watch it ?

It's a bit 70's

Surley something a bit 70's would be the Sweeny and Z cars would be a bit 60's?

Riiight, so it could be a bit too dated or a bot too police-y?

I'm gathering it's not complimentary ?

Thanks all
