The One With the Awkward Prang (6x1)

Uitzenddatum: Jul 29, 2008

Charlie and new partner Mish Ryan are out in Slough and are alerted by their ANPR to a parked up Volvo with a bit of a criminal history, so they park up and wait for someone to return to it, as they suspect that the driver may well not be properly documented. The planned stop doesn’t, however, go according to plan as the driver decides he doesn’t want a word – but, being in a cul de sac, he’s had to flee down a footpath and gets a bit of a headstart, leaving Charlie to guess where he’s gone. By chance they catch up head to head, and the Volvo reverses away from them at speed, barging backwards past anything in the way. This is followed by a u-turn over a central reservation, before nearly hitting the driver of a car he’s only just banged into! The chase moves onto the Britwell at which point things go totally unaccording to plan when Charlie reverses into a parked car. Brian and Jake are in Tilehurst looking for someone apparently on the loose with a samurai sword. Astonishingly, at the scene, he finds officers dealing with a youngster who, overeager to hurl missiles from an upstairs window of his home, has accidentally managed to throw himself out, too – requiring the assistance of paramedics. The apparent swordsman is still inside the house, requiring careful planning for the next move. The door goes in, and shielded officers storm the house. All plans turn out to be unnecessary as the bloke is flat out in a drunken sleep upstairs. Dutch courage rules… Lloydy and Jason Evans are in Reading following a car going up a one way street the wrong way. Out comes the breathalyser – but before they can use it they have to listen to an astonishing saga about a robbery. Not that it makes any difference as he blows red anyway. Despite a long wait at custody to get on the evidential breathalyser, he still blew nearly twice the limit, so Lord alone knows what he was when they stopped him. Lloydy is back with Jim in Slough looking for a stolen BMW spotte
