The Bill

Saving Skin (20x5)

: 21, 2004

Stamp and Young arrest two teenagers, Curtis and Carla, on suspicion of mugging, but when Curtis admits stealing money from Carla's father, Reverend Andho, further investigation reveals that the minister has been skimming money off church funds, and that his theft has been authorised by Denise Okaro, the superintendent's wife. Meanwhile, Okaro has problems of his own, when the new Borough Commander, Louise Campbell, announces that she is on her way to see him - and he panics that he will be berated for his neglect in the Bradford incident. Carver's wife takes the stand in court, but despite testimony from Kent, Marie claims self-defence. When her son takes the stand, the true stories unravel.
