Bill Spoilers 12th & 13th March

Wednesday 12 March

After a drunken night out together, PCs Beth Green (Louisa Lytton) ****kiddiecop alert****and Emma Keane (Melanie Gutteridge) are horrified when Superintendent John Heaton (Daniel Flynn) volunteers to go out on the beat with them for the day. Inspector Gina Gold (Roberta Taylor) is equally displeased, and instructs the two PCs not to put a foot wrong. As a precaution, Gina and Sergeant Nikki Wright (Gillian Taylforth) trail after them as they head out to patrol Canley Market. After a nervous start, Beth ****kiddiecop alert****manages to impress Heaton with her photographic memory and attention to detail even though it is Nikki who has to step in to make an arrest when both Beth****kiddiecop alert**** and Emma are incapable due to their hangovers.

Meanwhile, PCs Roger Valentine (John Bowler) and Nate Roberts (Ben Richards) find Wayne (Nick Moss) beaten and robbed of electrical goods that were in his delivery truck. The investigation leads them to Wayne’s manager and wholesale owner, Jaz Desai (Quill Roberts), who is more upset about the whereabouts of the missing stock, than of Wayne’s injuries.

The officers later discover that the unsuspecting truck-jacker James (Cary Crankson), and his young girlfriend Rachel (Billie North) have stolen the stock of toy robots with heroin concealed inside them. Back at the market, Beth ****kiddiecop alert****is made aware that her young friend Lee (Jonathan Weldon), who works on a stall there, is selling the robots unknowingly. Beth ****kiddiecop alert****makes a deal with Lee who reveals that the robots were taken away by a man fitting the description of Jaz Desai. After further investigation, the officers discover that Jaz and Wayne are holding Rachel for ransom in return for the missing drugs and time is running out.




Thursday 13 March

PC Sally Armstrong (Ali Bastian) and Sergeant Stone (Sam Callis) assist PCs Will Fletcher (Gary Lucy) and Ben Gayle (Micah Balfour) with a disturbance at a local nightclub and find themselves in the middle of a brawl. Sally is helped out by undercover police officer, PC Andrew Tipping (Gus Gallagher) from another local station.

Just as Sally is about to let him go, club security site Tipping as the instigator of the brawl and Sally has no choice but to arrest him on suspicion of assault. As she goes to arrest him she spies Tipping trying to quickly dispose of two cocaine wraps. Appealing to her as a fellow copper, Tipping asks Sally to let it go and forced into making a quick decision, Sally agrees to hide the drugs for him.

However, Stone becomes increasingly suspicious of Tipping and wants to track down Harriet McGuire (Sian Breckin), the woman that Tipping was talking to before the nightclub brawl broke out. As the investigation continues, Stone is made aware of Sally’s actions and is initially furious with her, though eventually he agrees to protect her secret.

Elsewhere DC Jo Masters (Sally Rogers) talks to one of the brawl victims, David Bartlett (Andrew Frame). Jo is surprised to see him after working on the case of his daughter’s accidental death some time ago.

Bartlett tells Jo that if the police are incapable of finding the man who sold the drugs to his daughter that killed her, then he is going to find the man himself. Jo initially worries that Bartlett is becoming obsessed with his daughter’s death, but when some new information comes to light, Jo realises that there might be more to the case than what she first thought.
