Episode 1
The One With Lester's Beard
Ronnie Walsh (unseen) chases a stolen van through Slough whose driver seems to be allergic to driving on the correct side of the road. Despite being stung, he’s not giving up – or at least not until he runs out of road. Oops.
Chris (check out the facial hair!) and Simon participate in yet more Falconry to nab a major drug dealer. Simon arrests a guy who is much bigger than he is while the rest of the team take down the door. They hit paydirt though – with a six-figure stash lurking in the house.
Off to Bletchley to look into shoplifting – Chris and Simon chew boot leather masquerading as meat while their Crim Radars find a suitably shifty looking character. A quarter of an hour later (a man, in Next, for 15 minutes??) they pounce – and find him very adept at shedding his coat, until they arrest him in a heap of bushes.
Charlie and Ruffy take over at Bletchley – dealing with an assault victim who just happens to be selling huge numbers of pirated DVDs catering to all tastes…ick. And the claimed assailants aren’t exactly squeaky clean themselves – if the 4x4 wheels in the back of their van are anything to go by.
Charlie and Ruffy are in High Wycombe doing a bit more Falconry. They pull a red Subaru (why is it always a Subaru?) with a delightfully uncooperative passenger and a driver who claims (don’t they all?) to be insured and doesn’t like being filmed. It’s the old ‘take out a policy, then cancel it but keep the certificate’ trick. So – they seize the car!
Rosie and Daz are in Reading and come across someone they think has been run over – except she’s been bulldozed by something far simpler; booze! They get her safely home – though the offer of a kiss is hastily declined. By Rosie…
