Right Shaz, let's put an end to this leaving nonsense!
Guv, I thought you said you wouldn't mention it!
I lied. It's long been an ambition of mine to see you out of your uniform -- [the rest of CID laugh]
GUV!
No, I mean out of THE uniform. What I'm trying to say is you keep up this quality of work, you'll be in CID by Christmas!
[After Danny escapes the team searching his car, Gene, Chris, Ray and Alex give chase to him. Danny jumps over a brick wall and Chris tries to throw a can of fuel oil at Danny but misses. Gene follows Danny over the wall while the team wait. Lots of smashing and crashing can be heard from over the wall. After a moment Gene pops his head over the wall next to a Blue Peter logo on a sign]
Would somebody like to give me a hand dragging this bastard back over?
[Alex spots the sign]
Is there a garden in there?
Yes, why?
[Cut to sometime later in the CID office. The team watch an episode of Blue Peter on their TV. The presenters talk about the garden being vandalised and the members of CID stare at Gene]
Vandals broke into the Blue Peter Garden and caused rather a lot of damage and one really cruel thing they did was to pour fuel oil into the fish pond. We've drained the pond and rescued some of the fish although a lot of them have died and the fuel itself has caused a lot of damage. If that wasn't enough, they then smashed our sundial and callously threw into the pond. We hope to repair the damage, but it is very sad to think that there are a few people that take such pleasure in...
It's only a bloody garden! [To Shaz] Turn it off.
It’s such a shame, those poor little fish.
Off!
How did a riot like this even start?
Because they took jellied eels of the menu.
Ray, I need to talk to you.
Now is not the time, Shaz.
Tell me! I heard Chris teasing you about seeing stars?
It was nothing. [Pause, Shaz looks at Ray, pressing him] Yeah, alright I saw something... stars.
Stars all around in a blackness like space?
Yeah, or like dots of light. You know, like just before you black out. Look, I probably had one too many at Luigi’s, that’s all. It’s no big deal.
[Ray produces a pocket knife from his jacket to open the barrel in the African's squat]
They're illegal!!
Are they? Maybe we should tell the Police.
[Shaz and Ray search the drinking den for the murder weapon. Ray tries to open a barrel containing ale]
Ray Carling! What are you doing?
Just getting myself a sneaky pint. There seems to be a blockage.
Yeah... Anyway about, Chris. He really needs to stand up for himself, take control of his own destiny. He’s in denial.
The Nile? Isn’t that a river in Egypt?
[Having left the restaurant Ray, Chris and Shaz are having a discussion that ends with Shaz accusing Ray of being racist towards African people]
You’re a racist Ray.
I am not a racist!
Well, you don’t like the Welsh.
Yeah, but I wouldn’t like them whatever colour they were.
God, it’s like 1953 in your heads, isn’t it?
