Road Wars

The One Where Lloydy Does his own Stunts (5x15)

Uitzenddatum: Aug 14, 2007

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. Chr
