The One With Boris's First Arrest (5x14)

Uitzenddatum: Aug 07, 2007

Ruffy and Charlie are in Aylesbury on the look out for a female drug dealer. Charlie catches up with her and an apparent customer, and they’re both detained for a drugs search, much of Charlie’s explanation being given with a pen between his teeth. Back at the nick, the lady is found to have hidden her stash in the plastic case used to contain a Kinder Surprise Egg toy. The bloke also has some, but the explanation about where she had her stash leads to much embarrassment and giggling during the piece to camera… Charlie and Ruffy are now in Bracknell and find themselves behind a van with a very odd looking number plate. The tax is out of date, but the number plate is also interesting as it’s got bits of tape all over it to change it – which resembles a legal vehicle in Sunderland; but is actually the numberplate of an untaxed van…there’s no insurance either so it’s getting seized! The botch job might have passed muster with an ANPR van, but there’s no fooling Charles and Rufus. Iestyn is patrolling Windsor and, sans Boris, assists with a call to some boy racers messing about in a Multi-storey car park. The lads are not impressed with the uniformed gatecrashers, and remonstrate in the noisiest, most ‘young-idiot-out-to-look-big-in-front-of-his-mates’ way possible. The result is a pointless ruck on the floor followed by a trip to the nick. Then arrested guy’s brother turns up and seems to be even more of a young-idiot-out-to-look-big-in-front-of-his-mates. In the end, three of them got section fived. Morons. Charlie and Ruffy are on the M4 when a bloke on a motorbike zips by on the inside and cheerfully continues to race along on the inside lane. He’s on a conspicuous, bright blue Harley, but our doughty heroes can’t get past anyone even with their siren and lights on, so they lose him. Fortunately, they’ve warned colleagues further ahead on the Motorway, and they pull the bloke, so Ruffy’s able to deal with him after all. Iest
