The One With Lester's Beard

New members of the Team, Darren 'Daz' Staley and Rosie Vosser, accompanied by Dixie, chase down people who burgle houses just for the car keys. Rosie demonstrates her command of the Proactive Crim Radar and her hunch nets the thieves, while Daz breaks the car. A bit. Ronnie Walsh (unseen) chases a stolen van through Slough whose driver seems to be allergic to driving on the correct side of the road. Despite being stung, he’s not giving up – or at least not until he runs out of road. Oops. Chris (check out the facial hair!) and Simon participate in yet more Falconry to nab a major drug dealer. Simon arrests a guy who is much bigger than he is while the rest of the team take down the door. They hit paydirt though – with a six-figure stash lurking in the house. Off to Bletchley to look into shoplifting – Chris and Simon chew boot leather masquerading as meat while their Crim Radars find a suitably shifty looking character. A quarter of an hour later (a man, in Next, for 15 minutes??) they pounce – and find him very adept at shedding his coat, until they arrest him in a heap of bushes. Charlie and Ruffy take over at Bletchley – dealing with an assault victim who just happens to be selling huge numbers of pirated DVDs catering to all tastes…ick. And the claimed assailants aren’t exactly squeaky clean themselves – if the 4x4 wheels in the back of their van are anything to go by. Charlie and Ruffy are in High Wycombe doing a bit more Falconry. They pull a red Subaru (why is it always a Subaru?) with a delightfully uncooperative passenger and a driver who claims (don’t they all?) to be insured and doesn’t like being filmed. It’s the old ‘take out a policy, then cancel it but keep the certificate’ trick. So – they seize the car! Rosie and Daz are in Reading and come across someone they think has been run over – except she’s been bulldozed by something far simpler; booze! They get her safely home – though the offer of a kiss
