Evenin' all! Cette expression ("bonsoir à tous!") était la formule que prononçait l'acteur Jack Warner au début de chaque épisode de la série policière britannique Dixon of Dock Green qui fut diffusée à la télévision de 1955 à 1976. Aujourd'hui, on utilise cette phrase en référence aux policiers de la vieille école ou bien simplement en guise de salut.
