The One where Lloydy does his own stunts
Lloydy and Jim are in Slough on Falconry duty. A pusher’s been disturbed and fled on a bike, and they’re soon on his trail. Lloydy manages to stop the pedalled flight by crashing into him and bowling the pair of them over! A quick search reveals no drugs, so Jim heads off with a local beat officer to see if he can find any hiding places along the escape route. This also proves fruitless, unlike the strip search back at the nick where his mixture of wraps wrapped in a hanky falls out of his underpants.
Rosie and Daz are on tour in Slough, and pull a car that their ANPR suggests has no tax. No one in the car has a full license either, so there’s no insurance. So the car’s going to be seized (leaving the occupants with a six mile walk home) – but it turns out that the car is implicated in a string of thefts of wheels from cars parked in a local hospital. Interestingly the car has three jacks in it, though the lads are telling the truth (for once) when they explain that they’ve only just bought it. Watch out for Rosie’s one-woman impersonation of the Road Wars theme at the end of the sequence!
Yorkie and Dixie are patrolling in Reading and end up behind two kids on a motorbike, neither of whom are wearing helmets. They are cheeky beggars who offer nothing more than obscene gestures when Yorkie attempts a stop, but the chase has to be aborted rather than risk the two pillocks being injured in a crash. The same thing happens the next day, but the day after, they come across them by chance – but this time on pushbikes. Amazingly, one of them has previously sought Yorkie’s help after being beaten up! There’s gratitude for you.
Rosie and Daz are in Reading and spot a woman wanted on recall to prison for not attending parole meetings. She has fled with her boyfriend, but a helpful witness advises that she will be in said boyfriend’s flat – in the kitchen. A search does indeed reveal that’s exactly where she is – hiding under the sink.
Chris and Simon (remember them?) are in Milton Keynes when an ANPR ding alerts them to a car that lacks insurance. They pull it and expect the driver to flee – but he doesn’t, so they go through the usual routine. He’s somewhat vague about his dealings with Police, and the insurance he says he’s in the process of arranging – not that he’s going to get any given that he hasn’t got a license (though he seems to think he has). The driver is thoroughly hacked off that they’re seizing his car, risking being section fived. He pulls back enough to avoid that, but still lost the car.
Chris and Simon are now in Aylesbury, and spot something odd going on in a playground. They disturb two youngsters who aren’t doing anything – though that’s because they haven’t had the opportunity yet with the six cans of paint they were carrying – though he’s tagged the wall three times already. Apparently it’s a ‘tagging wall’ so they can spray there; but he likes to spray elsewhere too, leading to a Hills Lecture and some interaction with the local law enforcers.
