awww I haven't seen those films in donkeys years... I suppliment my once weekly fix with my collection of dvds that I had flown in from Australia... nothing like a one liner from Frank Burnside to brighten up the afternoon.

Yep, it doesn't just happen and it was quite a treat to see the story board 



(think that picture of Mel and Smithy in the tub could be used as a future caption pic!)

   029: 'Crossing The Line'               Airs on Thursday, February 18 2010 at 21:00 GMT on ITV1
   By Kris  Green, Soaps Editor                              Sergeant Stone is on his way home from a night out with friends when he  witnesses a man and woman, later identified as Clarinda Blake and Tim  Hardacre, arguing down an alleyway. When Tim starts to beat Clarinda,  Stone rushes to her defence but Tim turns on him and gives him a severe  beating while Clarinda flees.

P.C.s Roger Valentine and Nate  Roberts are called to the scene and are stunned to see Stone, covered in  blood. Clarinda is eventually traced and questioned by Sergeant Jo  Masters, but she insists she was the victim of a random mugging and  doesn't want to make a statement, much to Jo's frustration.

After  spending the night in hospital, Stone shocks everyone, including new  recruit P.C. Kirsty Knight, by turning up for his shift, covered in  bruises and dry blood. Inspector Smith agrees to let him stay, on the  grounds he stays within the station. Kirsty and Jo head to the pub that  Clarinda owns and they meet Tim, who helps to run the bar and both  officers notice he fits the description Stone gave of his attacker.

The officers soon discover there has  recently been a lot of tension between Clarinda and Tim and that petrol  was poured through the letterbox the previous week…

Kirsty and  P.C. Mel Ryder are tasked with bringing Tim to the station for  questioning but when they arrive at his home, they find Clarinda's  teenage son Andy throwing a brick through his window.

At the  station, Andy finally confesses that he's been dealing weed for Tim and  that it was one of Tim's disgruntled dealers that put petrol through the  door. When Clarinda discovered what was going on, she confronted Tim  which resulted in the attack. Tim is later released, following a lack of  evidence and Stone discreetly watches him leave the station.

Following  him through the dark streets, Stone seizes his moment and savagely  beats Tim in an alleyway. Officers are later called to the scene and all  have their suspicions about who the attacker is. Jo is determined to do  everything by the book and after giving the officers their orders,  heads to Stones house to confront him…

I'm bumping this for our Australian members who will be waving goodbye to Tony Stamp this weekend.

Brilliant - saves me from trying to squint at the bottom of the screen for the credits!

 

I  never used a stunt double in 25 years. I was the only actor allowed to  do all their own stunts,'

Wonderful sequences they were too - there should be far more actors out there putting in the hard yards & doing more of their own stunt work.

  Thanks for posting that S.

Hehehe good ones! 

Wracking my brain for a good one liner....  watch this space...

From what i can see peeking out from under the hat, it looks like they have cast another blonde....
 
 Wondered how long they could hold out without having one in uniform 


Will be sure to check back for some character reviews once p.c. Knight hits the screens there

Cheeky?

Its the smallest billboard (parden the pun  ) I've seen *ha*

Nah, it's good ole' fashioned network fist'ti'cuffs.... GTV have made a big boo-boo and are too red faced to admit it.

(a none-to-humble opinion from far across the seas)

According to next weeks Radio Times The Bill has been chosen as 'The Drama Of The Week'. Has anyone a copy of next weeks Radio Times so we can all celebrate what it has to say on this?   

  Absolutely.
