The Bill1984

Sgt. June Ackland:
Ma'am, there's a Peter Harris waiting for you in the front office.

Insp. Gina Gold:
I knew that bloke was gonna turn up early!

Sgt. June Ackland:
Who is he?

Insp. Gina Gold:
Oh he's some local big wig. You know our safer neighbourhood campaign? He's gonna pay for the posters.

Sgt. June Ackland:
Oh well that's a bit of good publicity...

Insp. Gina Gold:
Oh no, he's got his own printing firm. So it's not going to cost him much, is it? It's a way to get in with the council, you know, network a bit. Forget that we can't see a thing in custody! But he's a VIP and the Superintendent wants to roll out the bloody red carpet!

[Some time later]

Peter Harris:
I was discussing the posters with the Superintendent, and he suggested I come in for a guided tour and see the station in action. If I'd known you were taking me jogging I'd have put on a pair of trainers...

Insp. Gina Gold:
I'm so sorry, but some clown of a workman has just knocked out the power to custody.

Peter Harris:
I thought you weren't too chuffed to see me.

Insp. Gina Gold:
It's nothing personal, but I must chase up my engineer. He tends to get here a bit quicker when threatened with strangulation.
