fairly major league things abroad sir and he wouldn't have come back for nothing we think he's joined a dissident group for money of course not ideology he could be the heavy in a political kidnapping why don't you do it yourself you got enough people in your office surely it was thought better that someone local should do it sir someone who knows his way around it was thought better was it yes sir and who thought it better the assistant commissioner sir yes at least probably right well secrecy doesn't matter of course it's uh clumsier the investigation the better something to stir up mr ramscar

for you what came up from criminal records this afternoon rams car says all victory yeah i don't want you to read through it and seems a moral ten god it's thicker than my dog is there anything new on that lasting case of the catholic church no nothing why should anyone want to burn a confession box well don't ask me maybe father harvey did it for the insurance he was quite a ladder mr ramscar a nice list of villainies starting in 1959 with assault and theft of car logbooks petty graft and the last in 1972 suspected armed robbery not proven a whole lot of stuff and a typewritten sheet dated august 15th 1965. i don't know why it caught my eye but it was a statement ramscar made about a 17-year-old girl celia norris missing believed dead he gave his movements for the evening of july 23 1965 the day she vanished he knew celia norris because her father was a business associate but he hadn't spoken to her for weeks his statement had been checked and accepted by the police 15 years ago so why didn't i accept it ben you've been around here since the flood ever heard of celia norris vanished 15 years ago july 1965. yes i can't remember that one the young girl of about 16 or 17. going home from a youth club on a planet carving and just disappeared or never solved not a choice well i can't remember it all but i think they found her clothes somewhere did we treat her as murder not at first i thought she's got away with the bloat she's currently done it before no things fizzled out still on the file though [Music] ah [Music] bye [Music] so [Music] all this and nobody ever found [Music] she had spent what was almost undoubtedly the last day of her life planning her future that afternoon she was at the youth employment office asking about becoming a nurse after which she went home to hunter street and stayed there for a meal at around six o'clock she cycled to the youth club of the catholic church where she met her boyfriend william lind at ten o'clock she left there alone her boyfriend stayed behind for a sports meeting and at ten o'clock on a summer's evening celia norris mounted her bicycle and rode away into nothing to reach home she would have cycled along the main road to its junction with hunter street while perhaps taking a shortcut along the towpath of the canal later joining the main road whatever she did nobody reported seeing her and the bicycle was never found her clothes were except for her pants a youth named andrew parsons was arrested in a public convenience trying to stuff the clothes behind the system he said he'd found them there then panicked when he read the papers and was attempting to put them back there were pictures of her with her mother her dog and another taken at some fate the blazered character was probably david boot the youth club organizer and if you look close enough he was squeezing celia's left breast they've taken all sorts of statements her mother and father boyfriend couple of girlfriends david boot and cecil victor ramskar ramp scar i was supposed to be reading him up for yard bird in the morning yes ah glad you can make it davis very nice of you to drop in where were you yesterday at the pictures day off sir i've got some inquiries for you and this is bigger stuff than you've ever had to do before much bigger seems to me you've been falling behind in the general run of things i had that feeling myself sir i thought i was being sort of overlooked i don't know davis i really don't know i consider you for a big job but i don't honestly know whether i'm doing either of us a favor i can't get that police garden party out of my mind all those bloody raffle tickets blown all over the show and by the time you had collected them someone had nicked the raffle money it seemed to go from bad to worse didn't it sir however i'm always one for giving somebody a second chance i don't suppose you've had a moment to glance at the ramscar file have you well yes i have sir well he's a very nasty number that i've known him ever since i was a sergeant in this division got his finger in every criminal pie a real villain larseny grievous bodily harm vice protection every bloody thing mr ram scars put bullets

dive boat you guest i'm a detective what did he do you may know did he do oh didn't they do he had a celia and me and the others most of them anyway i mean we used to fight about it and he uh he definitely had sex with celia then i was there mate i was there i could do with another drink yeah so could i oh it's nothing i thought you dropped off that's all oh no now i was just thinking about it you know about dave oh well i mean we was only kids you know we thought he was mr wonderful celia and me we used to giggle about it you know make out what we'd like him to do to us and that then one day he did it just like that just like that yeah well we've been helping out at this church fate you say and our father harvey had gone off to pray or something and dave suddenly puts his arms around both our waists and he gives celia a little pat on the bottom so i bent over you know laughing like i said something like uh yeah not one without the alpha dave so then he smacked me too and then all three of us ran across the grass and he chased celia into this club store room see and i thought to myself well she's not having anything that i'm not having and uh well you know that's how it was i'm glad you didn't do it in the vestry do you want me to go on it might be useful well i think i'm gonna need another drink well i'm beginning to feel the [Music] strain well don't you doze off this isn't a bedtime story you know no i'm listening i am listening well so there we were in the storeroom starkers not a stitch on and that's when it happened on the trampoline the trampoline did not kick up a dust i can imagine that was that the first time when after that it was sort of on and off you know not regular just sort of on earth when did it stop oh after she'd gone he never did it with me again i suppose he felt it was unfair you know not one without the other did you find that interesting most informative and there were others oh lots celia and me saw him having it off with roxanne pots one night on the trampoline no across the club vaulting horse he used all the equipment then i was a train gymnast with dave right you may take me home no i'm i'm listening i'm not true i'm promising but don't you lie i'm gonna smell i'm not good enough for you i guess they're they're super easy they really think i can't yeah eat please put them away [Music] says you right you senseless burke i have a bloody dog scrooge lady don't put our tears into his head no she was kidding she was only kidding calamities i was used to but being raped was something new and hardly the thing for a detective constable to have to admit all i wanted to do was get a bed and sleep it off but the note on the doormat took care of that the message was short and intriguing for important information about celia norris be by the canal bridge at midnight somebody was trying to help and i needed help [Music] [Music] [Music] uh [Music] hey good to see you sitting up i must say you look a bit better than when i last viewed you well you've been in the same way before because i have first morning soon as i heard who did it it's ram scar his lot must have been you've been studying on some of these toes boy that's for certain is anybody feeding my dog i am and the foul thing keeps biting me oh your wife wishes you better she says you're coming to you and she's not too busy what made you propose marriage to a woman like that there's lack of conversation there was an awkward silence and i couldn't think of anything else to say how's he how's the celia thing going little mud when i feel more up to it i'll tell you exactly what i've found out so far it's a lot but it's nothing if you see what i mean i i may have seen something you've missed it in fact i think i've done it already what

right through it and about the regular police patrol van that night yes there's a pc fennel and pc dudley and they covered the high street area and the towpath till midnight but their report was negative they saw nothing when you get out of here have another look through those newspaper files you may see something i think i saw all right well can't you tell me now come on come on tell have a look at yourself i hope you won't be wanting sick leave davis no sir i'm back working now when it's all over i'll take some leave then let everything heal properly we're all very pleased very pleased

we'll have a quick people we'll be off all there oh i don't want to pry mr davis not in police business but you know naturally we of the press like to know what's going on under our very noses as it were so perhaps if you feel free to do so you'd drop a little hint of it in my ear yes of course i will you go back to bed before you get cold we'll close the door when we leave all right very well thank you ready oh come on that's the cutting we've got in the files it's another cutting is the page look at this little morsel policeman's farewell in honor of his retirement sergeant david morris

the same night dangerous so what well read the names boy read their names those attending the celebration were detective constables harry robinson john cleaver david johnson pc james dudley and pc frederick fennell wait a minute pc dudley and pc fennell was supposed to be in the patrol car on the high street when she vanished really weren't willie but i've seen the duty slips and the reports they signed they're all in the file and they were drinking with the boys so dudley and fennel lied for a start and nobody noticed a lie or nobody cared to notice oh did you put that horse in my house did you two do it there's horses pop everywhere every bloody ware of the passage of the stairs in the front room you better get the jumping sheet ready i think she's gonna topple out any minute mrs

plate or you should see them eating it's a lovely sight on a full moon yeah i can imagine what do you want with fred fennel then well it's just some police memories really i'm checking on something that happened a long time ago and i just thought i could pick his brains there's not a lot to pick he's in the looney house mr davis the mental hospital said austin's near bedford oh i'm sorry about that he's not he loves it every minute he thinks he's peter the great place you did last time i went to see him when was that 12 months ago well not since i couldn't stand it all the horrors in here i couldn't stand hearing him give orders to the old bleeding russian court i couldn't face it i'll stop going well i'd better be off then look i shall probably go and see him what should i say if he asked when you're going again tell him tell him i'll come after the revolution that'll do i detected you coming in oh yes well i've just i've come to see the superintendent dr london do you have to know where i could find keep him up and walk i must say you have been a great help i said um an intruder he wants you eyes all right marie i'll take over now thank you very much can i put my arms down now she's heartless that looked like a real gun oh it was we've uh tried giving her a toy but she wouldn't accept it we've taken a few parts out of it of course thank god for that it's her status symbol if you want hey yes i see uh i'm detective constable davis oh yes you're here to see uh mr fennell yes i called on his wife it's a pity she doesn't come to see him he misses her terribly oh well perhaps i could not see her again he's not too bad now uh without uh prying into police business could i know something of what this is about well actually this is a murder inquiry you see mr fennell was a police constable in the area at the time he had some part in the inquiries and uh you want to see if he remembers yeah but uh if he doesn't i'd be glad if you don't press him oh no of course no thank you no i mean i don't want to mess anything up right well he's waiting in a small consulting room so that you can talk thank you come in mr davis is here oh thank you for coming my dear friend keep it coming down sit down sorry it's so good to have a visitor my wife stopped coming you see tarantella never came tarantella no no she doesn't matter no no no no come on because sometimes it helps to talk things out mr fennel yes yes yes oh my poor fred i felt he was ill but i didn't get a fix on a mental hospital you knew each other pretty well once well so he told me oh come on dangerous you and i are in the same basic business you know he was my lover before you got here oh donkeys years ago well he's not too bad physically he's always one of those big feral policemen you know i see him standing in this room now wearing nothing but his old nail boots it's a fine sight yeah i bet i liked him you know dangerous but i couldn't see a future for us together well if you couldn't who could listen do you remember a case years ago celia norris she vanished that girl yes i remember i still got a bicycle a bicycle planning my junk shed somewhere how did it come to be there well fred brought it in it was the same night as that norris girl disappeared i remember it very well because fred was up here he used to pop in for a for now you know when he was on duty because he used to patrol in that van with another policeman and they'd arranged it so that one of them could hop off for a while getting turns you know because he he'd had a drink that night been out in one of those police booze-ups you know again on the clock because he should have been on duty he was a devil in those days mind you he only came up for a while that night and then afterwards he bought the bike in it's been there ever since why did he bring it back here well of course he just found it lying underneath the wall at the cemetery the cemetery hmm he thought someone had just lost it or thrown it away when they'd stolen it you know it was his idea to bring it here because he thought he'd even discovered with me you know he thought it would look better if i said i'd founded it and reported it to him i thought it looked better it was like a sort of safeguard for him being here you know didn't he realize whose bike it was no of course not i mean by that time when you and cry was on he thought he didn't realize he belonged to the novice girl that time he was too scared to take it back tarantella can i see it the bike is years of rubbish all my old clairvoyant props trump smoke machine pat that in years ago gave me the creep oh here it is i can see it at the back here can you come across there dangerous [Music] tires are flat [Music] they were there when they brought it just some good anthems and a few irises there was a card as well but i threw it away i think she pinched him from the cemetery her mother said she brought her for a house well there's a bloke waiting for you dangerous blow what sort of blow lind william well welcome mr lind now what can i do for you well mr i understand from my wife that you're looking into this stevia norris business well what was it mr linde only this well they're hers celias how did you come by these well i found them well straight up mr davis the day after she vanished well in the saddlebag of my bike i just opened it up and there they were how did you know they were hurt you can't catch me like that well i used to see her down the youth club like you know playing table tennis and netball and that all the boys used to have a look get a flash of the girls pants you know like lads do yes yes they do but you were her boyfriend mr linde well well sort of well that's not how i knew they were hers well it wasn't like that well i thought of her in well a pure sort of way except when she was playing table tennis or netball then you'd have a decker so david have you accused me i came because i wanted to help it's been a long walk it's taken you 15 years why didn't you take this article to the police at the time you must have known they were looking for her clothes well i didn't know not straight away because it was some time before they start to get really worried about her well i thought if i showed them these they'd jump to the conclusion that i did it so i didn't tell them where have you kept them when my mum's loft well i spent a lot of time my mums oh my wife's getting on my nerves you see how do you suppose this garment got into your saddle back then well somebody put it there was a joke or something well at first i thought she'd done it i was sort of teasing things she'd do she was a bit of a teaser wasn't she well i didn't think like that and i still don't oh it's very gallant i'm sure well now was there anything else mr lind oh oh yes there was sort of well what sort of well well it may be nothing mr davis but well my mum reckons about eight or nine years ago she was sitting in a bus shelter and she had an old man talking to a woman on the other side well he was saying that he saw cydia the night she disappeared well she was walking down the towpath with a man in a a dart suit and no hat oh and this bloke had his arm around her well he said he told the police although a police officer came to see him he never heard him more about it this old man does your mother know who he was oh mr hartness is he still around no no he's more than 90 then he used to drink maybe that's why the police took no notice of him does he have any family around here still ah they moved or he was very ill to bristle i think well my mom didn't know them very well she just hurt yeah just my luck do you know we're gonna have to get all this down in a statement did you know there are still courts in this country that can impose the punishment of the stocks and a journey in a cart of dung have you ever come across anything so amazing frequently how about those good god earth where our friend bill lind he said they were putting this saddle back and i think he's telling the truth and you can bet your sweet life they were put there by dave boot quite a collection we're getting you've got a bike under pants all we need now is the body and the murderer listen i've been thinking about those flowers don't worry i think she's buried in a cemetery right somebody digs down under an already prepared grave buries her then another body is buried on top i've been thinking about that myself but changed my mind what because she was seen walking along the tow path that night with a man in a dark suit see that night mod i've got a witness she's a witness well he wasn't witness he must be dead by now i mean nine years ago he was over 90 but he made a statement at the time and it was never recorded i've checked through the phones that looked right through and he's not even mentioned not in a dark suit and no hat so it needn't rule out pc fennel and pc dudley for example i mean from a distance the the uniform would look like a dark suit and he could have been carrying that or even left it in the van what's your knickers hmm oh i'll be quiet i'll feed you in a minute [Music] so [Music] [Applause] oh oh yeah well thanks mate god we gotta do something about your breath will it be my usual room hello mr norris what are you in for the same as you you stupid berg i told you to lay off ram scar as well eh i told you what would happen i hope they've duffed you up good ramscar's gonna nail you before you get in and i'm gonna stay in here as long as i can i suppose a powerful police dragnet is at this moment in time closing in on the perpetrators of this latest outrage oh yeah they sent a sergeant down to get all the thrilling particulars my god by this time they'll have enough men in the hunt to throw a cordon around the phone box i expect this getting so accustomed to you being bashed about that and novelties worn off that's a mod i want you to do something for me would you see what you can find out about the harkness family yeah they moved to bristol some time ago right yeah you know social security voters lists say you're a copper i'd rather not if you don't mind look where it's got you boy hello oh josie you've got a job lot to visit now aren't you oh he's your old man i'm in a mess worse than you and that's saying something oh i'm sorry how's your mom she's got the wind up it was you found the old man on the doorstep shoved her off to her sister's in looting he's got to stop sometime or someone's going to get killed and it looks like your favorite is it just rams car or do you think it's got something to do with the celia thing i don't know it could be both i mean maybe they're one of the same thing i don't know the more i find out the less i seem to know jersey do you think your dad knows where ram's car's hiding well if he does there's no bloody way he's going to tell anyone now not to stay easy dangerous have you found anything out about celia what happened to her i've got her bike josie and i've got our pants you've got what her bike and her pants christmas i've even got the remains of the flower she was taking home to your mum she always nicked him from the cemetery you know oh no i'll have to go i've got to think about all this you sure i mean you're not having me on i'm very sure i'll see you jesse see ya you're brighter than i reckon thanks i surprised myself sometimes it was easier to tell her i was sure but the only thing i was really sure of was that i'd turned up a lot of stones and found a lot of wiggly things underneath but none of them seemed to connect fifteen years ago i followed every turn of the petals from the youth club to the cemetery [Music] i thought of her climbing the wall to steal flowers from a grave [Music] and then what did the mooching police car appear at its wheel a pc dudley who'd been drinking at the farewell party did he get out of the car and stand waiting under the wall while she climbed back over did he see this 17 year old girl was wearing nothing under her mini skirt what did he do that policeman did he take her into the police van not seeing her bicycle in the grass did he could joel or threaten her onto that toe path where mr harkness saw them is that where it happened is that where he raped celia norris and murdered her and disposed of her body but not her clothes it's funny that not her clothes and why did he hide them in a public lavatory to be found by andrew parsons yes andrew parsons and now he plays in the salvation army band that's what mrs norris said by the time i found his lodgings i knew exactly what i wanted to ask him mr andrew yes i want to have a chat with you i'll come especially to see you can i come in about christianity is it no about celia norris who are you detective constable davis oh god won't you ever let me be i'm sorry mr parsons we all do things we get embarrassed about sometime in our lives me not accepted oh what have you done never mind that statement you made at the time i read it of course but uh i'd like to hear the story again from your own lips all right i found our clothes in an all-night toilet i kept them till i realized they were celia norrises i took them back to the toilet and i was seen by the attendant that's all the police came here and found some knickers 234 pairs i read i don't do that anymore mr davis the knickers thing it's all gone and i'm cured i was younger then and i was lonely now what the salvation army and everything now look mr parsons if you had murdered that girl i didn't i swear i said if you had and disposed of the body would you have left the clothes in an all-night toilet for anybody to find them any minute it doesn't make sense does it i didn't do it and you didn't find them there either did you oh god i knew it would all come out one day i'm trying to live it down the army all right no more bloody lighter you'll finish this down the station now where did you really find those clothes by the canal they were just lying there i nicked them but when i heard about the girl i panicked i was already on probation they tried to get me to that girl mr davis and i didn't do it now exactly where mr parsons to the inch yes yes exactly just at the bottom of the alley by the canal where the old wartime blockhouse used to be i saw them and i was tempted by satan and i picked them up god how many times i regretted that weakness right now by the alleyway right that's near the gardens near the allotments now what time was it what was the date the day she vanished at night about 10 30. right i don't push off to any band festivals when i think i want to know where i can find you is that a woman that's all yeah play one for me good night and god bless you mr davis i'll pray for you in your trouble it's not my allotment anymore mr davis like i told him in court the council took it off me after all them years this is mine i grew it myself look mr tilth this visit has got nothing to do with any of your previous dailies with the police i just want your help can i come in please yeah all right then yeah i'm just taking a few cut-ins messy business so uh what is it mr davis your allotment that was down by the canal now how far did your ownership go back oh back to the 1940s it was my old man's before that i told him in court it's been our edited allotment do you remember the wartime block house they built down the bottom blimey do i we had our nursery beds there then they come along and build that bloody thing yeah well when was it knocked down few years after the war 47 48 i should think not later no no definitely not my old man died in 49 it had gone then i remember putting a shed on the concrete foundations busy oh that partly allotment was never any good for growing things that could have dug the concrete floor up i suppose but underneath there was another room you see a room underneath a room more like a home guard command poster like an airaid shelter with a metal lid a trapdoor with like a manual cover and when they knocked the block house down did they leave the other thing under the ground oh yeah so it's still there still there why come on we're going down there now come on this house come on there's no time like the present yeah like i said it's only but where's the trapdoor inside the burger's got this place nice building on top of it bloody awful thing these wooden ones all fall to bits in the end just like i thought what a mess oh look at this fatch here mr davis you've ever seen such a disgrace he's covered a concrete and wooden board good for him listen where's the trapdoor where is it should be as far as i can remember it look at this jungle there it is listen we're gonna need a shovel and a pick do you think you can find them what do you mean breaking the tool shed lock don't do it then right oh then this boot's a mess there's not an idea not a single idea i better not lead you with this mr davis i know the proper way i'm not with your face and that hey there should be a sort of metal metal ring at one end ah now if i put the toe of the pick in there we'll see little shifters it's good and solid that's been fixed for too long both have a go right right right now nice teddy now next time she'll come wait a minute all right another good one that's bleeding donny come on you let's try this one again [Music] now what now what indeed never george [Music] it's unbelievable what did you do just left her pull the cover back left or there well you you won't do anything nor report it no i'm not going to risk it mod i've got her but i haven't got him yet it looks more and more like police constable dudley and he's dead you'd think an underground room would have been searched when they were looking for the girl look for a start nobody took her disappearance seriously for about a month and we'll never know how thorough the search was supposing police constable dudley got the area allocated to himself it wouldn't be that difficult and what about the policeman that went to see harkness that could have been dudley as well there was nothing in the record nothing look you've had no luck at all tracing hardness no i'm still trying what are you gonna do next well the first thing i'm gonna do is bring josie up to date you won't tell her about the body no i'm not gonna tell her about that there wasn't really much else i could tell her she already knew about the bike and the pants but somehow i had the feeling she wasn't really as perky as she seemed as though there was something she hadn't told me i was right dangerous i've got something to tell you what is it my dad does know where ram's car is where is he i said he knows i don't i wasn't going to tell you you've had enough goings over as it is what has he told you well my old man had a heart attack yesterday in hospital what oh well it wasn't much as our tax go he was in a terrible state got all confessionals started doing the my dearest daughter act and after all these bloody years and well according to the old man rams cast up to something very big and very soon what sort of thing well i don't know nor does he he seems to think he's got a good idea where ram's car's eyes are now would you try and find out for me i'll think about it i'm not making any promises do you want to come into the house it's empty do you mean to say you're staying there by yourself oh no i'm with the fieldings next door i've still got our key yeah well you better get some sleep when this is all over when it's finished with then i'm gonna take some leave and you'll take me too i'll think about it when i was a boy i was sent up the stoke on

towpath with a policeman oh it was a cover all right i've been in court so many times for being drunk and incapable i know a copper when i saw one i even saw who it was well you want me to say who it was well yes please that would be very helpful are you sure you are a copper yes of course yes look here's my metabolism police warrant card oh that's what they give coppers now is it oh that's a good

news he's drawn a picture of a girl's bicycle yeah yeah all right come on off we go where to bedford all right here i am i'm very very grateful to you mr davis my wife's been to see me she came because you went back and asked her i feel i'm a person again i must say you look a great deal better i had to tell tell until it was all over between us of course i hope to be out of here before long and then my good wife and i can start again somewhere thanks to you what was it you wanted to tell us you don't want to get all my personal gossip i've got something for you what is it a statement from pc dudley it's always a careful bloke dudley he wanted to make sure he covered himself when they started treating the novice girl businesses murder he wrote down all he knew about it and sent it to himself by registered post if it remained unopened that was proof that it was written at the time of the postmark uh you see the date august the 6th 1965 got me yeah very clever but we can't know what's in it unless we open it and that destroys it as evidence right but he made a copy i've got that too from a solicitor in melbourne he'd left instructions for them to be forwarded to me in the event of his death it was about that time that i went off my head you'll never believe it i actually thought that i was peter the great here's the copy it's about that night we'd been to a party for davey morris who was leaving the force we'd had quite a few drinks even though he was supposed to be on duty in our van i sneaked in to see tarantella and then went to the cemetery because that's where we me and dudley used to meet up on that night the van wasn't there but there was this bike lined in the grass i took it back to talenteller like she told you well what did happen to dudley that night i put it in a statement you've got to read it yourself read it go on read it well it was all there they'd gone to the police party fennel had left to see his fortune teller arranging to meet dudley at the cemetery as usual but on this night i felt so bad after drinking the rum that i didn't think i could drive to the rendezvous it was then that sergeant yard bird offered to take over the duty for me he had been drinking with the rest but he seemed all right i let him take over and went to a friend and had some coffee and a lie down after about an hour i felt better and walked to the cemetery gates intending to meet sgt yardbird with the van it was not there i walked along the high street until i finally spotted it near the top of the canal alleyway there was nobody in it i could see someone moving at the bottom of the alleyway in the verge by the allotments i called and eventually that someone came up the alley [Music] it was sergeant yardbird he looked very strange white-faced and sweating and there was blood on his cheek as though he had been scratched it is not until now a month later that i have begun to think that the state sergeant yard bird was in that night might have a bearing on the norris case this statement is true signed james dudley police constable s division you've done it boy you sold it yard bird ah that's who acne said he wants to you might just as well have said it was the archbishop of canterbury well your duties clear you've got to walk into his office and formally charge you with murder are you kidding you'd have me put in the bloody cells before i'd finished why sorry i had some homework to finish would you do me a favor after the ceremony's over when i give you the wing would you take your boss into the cid room and just wait for me this is in the way of being a very private function the implications of the matter concluded bracken farm are still going on mr ramskar and others still have to go on trial but i feel and others do but in a personal way we should make some presentation to detective constable davis official recognition of his performance may follow that's uh that's not for me to say this is our show as you see he's been severely injured in this affair although i'm glad to hear that he will soon be able to walk again i hope this small presentation from his colleagues will make up for part of it i shall ask his own station inspector chief inspector yard bird who has known himself the difficulties of be working as a police officer in this district to make the presentation well i would just like to say i don't know what to say really except thank you thank you very much thank you sir [Music] [Music] sir do you think i might have a word with you in private it's about celia norris [Music] um [Music] you
