Danny Butterman:
What made you wanna be a policeman?

Nicholas Angel:
[correcting him] Officer.

Danny Butterman:
What made you wanna be a policeman-officer?

Nicholas Angel:
I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a police officer, except in the summer of 1979 when I wanted to be Kermit the Frog. It all started with my Uncle Derek; he was a sergeant in the Met. He bought me a police pedal car when I was five. I rode round in it every second I was awake, arresting kids twice my size for littering and spitting. I got beaten up a lot when I was young but, it didn't stop me. I wanted to be like Uncle Derek.

Danny Butterman:
Sounds like a good bloke.

Nicholas Angel:
Actually he was arrested for selling drugs to students.

Danny Butterman:
What a c*nt.

Nicholas Angel:
Probably bought the pedal car with the proceeds. Needless to say, I never went near it again. I just let it rust. But I never forgot the sense of right and wrong I learned behind the wheel of that pedal car. I had to prove to myself that the law was proper, and righteous, and for the good of human kind.

Danny Butterman:
Shame.

Nicholas Angel:
How so?

Danny Butterman:
I think you'd have made a great Muppet.
