Wednesday · 48 years ago

Wednesday · 48 years ago

4. Quilley On The Spot

A policeman can only take so much. Lynch deals with the problem one way, Quilley another. Trouble is, in Quilley's case there's a woman involved.

Wednesday · 48 years ago

5. A Woman's Place

Night duty in Newtown is a rough turn; not the place for a young policewoman. But WPC Jane Beck won't listen to the warnings of Inspector Lynch.

Wednesday · 48 years ago

6. Exposure

Roger Stevens is the quiet sort of copper, always there. Perhaps that's why Lynch tends to take him for granted. But sometimes it's the quiet kind one needs to worry about most of all.

Wednesday · 48 years ago

7. Fat Freddie BA

Freddie Cowling has come out of prison a changed man. He's lost a lot of weight, he's got a degree and he's promised his wife he'll go straight from now on. But Lynch doesn't believe he's changed. Not when there's the proceeds of his last job to be collected - £40,000 hidden away and waiting...

Wednesday · 48 years ago

8. First Offender

Sunday - kids who have nothing to do. First Lynch, then Haggar gets involved - they do have something to do.

Wednesday · 48 years ago

9. Deserter

Frank Rafael Saietta has come home to Newtown. Lynch remembers him as a nice little lad, but that was years ago. Now there are different words to describe him - terrorist and murderer.

Wednesday · 48 years ago

10. Rummage

Lynch holds the balance between C.I.D. and the Customs & Excise as they investigate a bent businessman and a suspicious German ship. The only link between them is a showgirl.

Wednesday · 48 years ago

11. Prey

Maureen Price was always complaining to the police - so much so that they'd stopped listening. The pity is that if they hadn't she might be alive today.

Wednesday · 48 years ago

12. Departures

Two men face retirement, one a policeman, the other a villain. There are younger men impatient to fill their shoes. The copper has no choice about it, but the villain has other ideas.

Wednesday · 48 years ago

13. Pressure Finale

A new security shutter is being installed at the entrance to Newtown station, just in time, it seems, as an angry mob gathers outside. A stream of visitors keeps the desk duty officer busy.
