Well, the American version was the best show on TV ever.

Rick this was locally made TV in Melbourne OZ, not sure that's what
you are refering to, there was a US show also called Homocide.
We also used to roll the DSS location sound off a ROLA 1/4 inch tape
recorder, we became expert in putting our finger on the capstan reel
to keep it in sync, we made up a leader with several pips on it within
an 8 second pre-roll to get it into sync initially. The film was shot
on an ST ARRI with a sync motor and a blimp, I am not sure what the
location sound was shot on, it may have been a Nagra 111 but there was
no pilot tone
Perfectone was the first one out with that, they used to amplify 1
volt to 110V to drive a sprocketed tape machine. Boy was that fun in
the transfer suite when you had a pilot drop out. Of course then there
was single system optical sound for news ( I think it was called a
frezzalini) that used a sound system that had a visual tuning fork and
a pot to keep the pitch with in range, the only problem was that it
produced a buzz, which could only be removed by driving in a supplied
earth stake and pissing on it.
When we did news we would nominate who was the designated pisser for
the day and they had to keep up their water levels up so that they
could perform. This is all true I am not making this up, never the
less, enough, NURSE! my iPone battery is flat.
