Episode 18 : The One With the Most Boring Shift Ever
November. 25,2008
There’s been a spate of vamoose burglaries in Reading, and Dan and Daz are on the case. They’ve just been overtaken by a sprightly Ford Focus, and their speed is such that blues and twos go on so that the Guys can follow more safely – and the chase is on. Eventually the driver mucks up a handbrake turn and stalls, before fleeing with Dan in hot pursuit which he has to break off when the guy decides to head onto a main railway line. Unfortunately, in backing up Dan, Daz has been forced to leave the Focus unattended, so the passengers have scarpered as well.

Details are very sketchy, so they’re not sure what to expect – and find a woman with blood all over her face and a very, very active mouth. Donning gloves, Dan immediately requests an ambulance while he and Dan try very hard to work out how on earth she has got into such a mess. It turns out that her alleged attacker is still in the pub, and she wants him arrested for assault, so Daz heads inside.

Waller and Kev are in Bracknell, on their way to assist with breaking up a whopper fight as there’s no one else available. When they arrive, there’s only a guy with a mop and bucket, who redirects them, and they find a lone officer attempting to break up an ongoing argument. They’ve all been drinking, which has clearly exacerbated matters, and one of them is happy to fight with anyone going – though they’re happy to let him on his way if he just shuts up.

Episode 15 : The One With the Even More Dangerous Liaison
November. 04,2008
Dan and Daz are out and about in Slough, responding to a call from a local resident who is concerned at what appears to be drug dealing in a local park. Daz takes the cartoony approach, and they sneak up to a fence in true comedy style, with Dan peeking over the top of the fence, and Daz crouching to look through a knot hole. Spotting the suspects, they consider a suitable way of ambushing the group – and watch a deal take place from their hiding place. Rather than attempt to nab the guys in the park, they instead decide to speak to the customers, who are now heading away – Dan on foot, Daz in the car.

A chopper is en route, and the fire brigade are coming in with ladders. The use of the Night Sun reveals all, but we don’t see it as the Lads are called away to deal with some vamoose burglars currently being pursued. Dan recognises the driver of the fleeing car as the kid in the Corsa from Episode 9, and they’re driving along the exact same route as that chase so the stakes are upped as that driver got away.

Episode 9 : The One With The Etheridge Patented Gate Opening Service
September. 23,2008
Daz and Dan are in Reading, and fall in behind a Corsa which pulls an illicit U-turn, causing Dan to pull out a tidy cliché before they try to pull the Corsa. The Corsa driver, however, has other plans and a pursuit ensues. Simon and JK are also in the area, and head in to assist. The fleeing driver doesn’t give a stuff about anything other than getting away, and Dan suspects the vehicle has been stolen. Attempts to lay a stop stick fail as the driver goes a different way, so Dan requests permission to carry out a TPAC once they’re on a suitable road. This turns out not to be necessary as the car flies down a dead end, and the driver flees on foot – hurtling through fences, rather than over them.
