Coming up - shotgun-wielding maniacs...

0:00:020:00:05

Bloody hell!

0:00:050:00:07

..speed-crazed lunatics...

0:00:070:00:08

-You can't pepper your brother.

-Do it, do it, do it.

0:00:080:00:11

..and a couple of canine lovers go ballistic.

0:00:110:00:14

-You're kidding yourself on.

-Aye.

0:00:140:00:17

But there's nothing that can't be handled by the officers

0:00:170:00:20

of the Scottish Police Force.

0:00:200:00:23

Watch your head, Britain's tallest man.

0:00:230:00:25

This is Scot Squad.

0:00:250:00:27

Policing the public is a two-way highway, and policing that

0:00:400:00:44

highway his way is Chief Commissioner Cameron Miekelson.

0:00:440:00:49

That's like getting turps from a zebra.

0:00:490:00:52

It just doesn't make sense to me.

0:00:520:00:55

It's very important that the public believe that the

0:00:550:00:58

police are listening, and we are listening.

0:00:580:01:00

I'm listening.

0:01:000:01:02

I mean, not personally, but I have people who listen for me.

0:01:020:01:06

Now, the public are going to think,

0:01:060:01:08

"Well, can these people change anything?"

0:01:080:01:09

Well, technically, no,

0:01:090:01:11

because they're kind of on the level of the cleaners.

0:01:110:01:13

Because people have grievances, of course they do.

0:01:130:01:17

We've all... You'll have a grievance. I've got grievances.

0:01:170:01:20

I mean, do you know how hot it gets in this office

0:01:200:01:23

when the sun hits that window there?

0:01:230:01:26

Now, do I want to complain about that? Yes, I do.

0:01:260:01:29

Who do I complain to about that?

0:01:290:01:31

Me. Will something get done about it?

0:01:310:01:34

Well, I might just open the window a wee bit. So, yes.

0:01:340:01:36

You see?

0:01:360:01:38

Systems and solutions.

0:01:380:01:41

We're listening.

0:01:420:01:44

Decisive leadership from Chief Miekelson inspires traffic cops

0:01:440:01:48

Surjit Singh and Hugh McKirdy to take a hard line with road crime.

0:01:480:01:53

With us it's black and white.

0:01:540:01:56

You break the law, you're going down. Simple as that.

0:01:560:01:59

At least with a mobile phone you get a hands-free kit.

0:01:590:02:01

There's no hands-free kits with a banana.

0:02:010:02:03

I mean, we're often referred to as black rats.

0:02:030:02:05

It's mainly because black rats tend to eat their own.

0:02:050:02:09

Oh, that's cool, that is. I like that, the black rats.

0:02:090:02:12

I like that.

0:02:120:02:14

We were once driving along, we seen a car doing 34mph on a 30 zone.

0:02:140:02:18

So, we pulled him in. All right, check out the situation.

0:02:180:02:22

Just as we were going onto the pavement,

0:02:220:02:24

she happens to recognise PC Singh.

0:02:240:02:27

Oh, hello!

0:02:270:02:31

That's my boy! That's my son!

0:02:310:02:33

-You're Surjit's maw?

-Yeah!

0:02:330:02:36

Surjit, it's your maw. I cannae believe it.

0:02:360:02:38

-Oh.

-How are you?

0:02:380:02:40

I'm good. How are you?

0:02:400:02:42

Your son's a legend, by the way.

0:02:420:02:44

-I am so proud of him.

-He's a legend, top policeman.

0:02:440:02:46

-Thank you very much.

-As well you should be.

0:02:460:02:49

Look at that, the squad.

0:02:490:02:50

-We're going to an engagement party.

-Oh, are you? Right, I see.

0:02:500:02:54

Right.

0:02:540:02:55

It's good to see you.

0:02:550:02:57

THEY SPEAK PUNJABI

0:02:570:03:00

I thought they're doing 4mph on a 30 limit,

0:03:000:03:03

he might just give her a wee slap on the wrist.

0:03:030:03:06

-See you later.

-Right, see yous later on. Nice meeting yous.

0:03:060:03:09

Mum, Mum, Mum. We can't let you go just yet.

0:03:090:03:12

-Why?

-Well, you were speeding.

0:03:120:03:14

-Speeding?

-Yes.

0:03:140:03:16

-But it's his engagement party, son.

-It's Mum!

-I know it's Mum, but...

0:03:160:03:19

You cannae give your maw a speeding ticket, mate. Come on.

0:03:190:03:21

-Aye, but I'm going to have to.

-Ah, come on.

0:03:210:03:24

-Why do you have to?

-Has he always been like this?

0:03:240:03:26

Because it's the law.

0:03:260:03:27

When he was a young boy, you know what he used to do?

0:03:270:03:30

He used to arrest the cat.

0:03:300:03:31

HE LAUGHS

0:03:310:03:34

If the hat's on...

0:03:340:03:35

Why are you not going to your brother's engagement party?

0:03:350:03:38

-Because I'm on duty.

-But you could have got the day off.

0:03:380:03:40

-I can't get the day off.

-Jonno would have worked for you.

0:03:400:03:43

Crime doesn't take a day off. No. No.

0:03:430:03:45

Crime doesn't take a day off, OK? You're being a bit aggressive now.

0:03:450:03:48

If you can stand back a little bit, OK?

0:03:480:03:50

-What are you going to do?

-If you stand back...

0:03:500:03:52

You cannae pepper your brother.

0:03:520:03:54

Do it, do it, right in front of Mum.

0:03:540:03:56

You can't pepper your brother, mate.

0:03:560:03:58

There's no way I would give my mum a speeding ticket.

0:03:580:04:00

No chance. That's unthinkable.

0:04:000:04:02

I'd give her a ticket.

0:04:020:04:04

Aye, well, we know that.

0:04:040:04:06

Desk Sergeant Karen Ann Millar may spend every day in the station...

0:04:060:04:10

And, so, can I just take a note of your name?

0:04:100:04:13

It's Guy James.

0:04:130:04:15

Oh, right.

0:04:150:04:16

..but no two days in the station are ever the same.

0:04:160:04:20

Do you like it?

0:04:200:04:22

And today's day is no exception.

0:04:250:04:28

All right, Officer Karen?

0:04:280:04:30

Hello, Bobby. What can I do for you?

0:04:300:04:32

Well, have you got DNA gloves?

0:04:320:04:34

Yep.

0:04:350:04:36

So, I was walking past the football ground and there was this girl

0:04:360:04:39

and she was giving out free pies.

0:04:390:04:41

You know how I love free pies?

0:04:410:04:43

The thing is, she's gave us this pie, right, and I think she's

0:04:430:04:46

tried to poison me because it looks mental and it smells mental.

0:04:460:04:50

Bobby, the chances of someone at a football ground choosing to

0:04:500:04:56

poison a random individual are relatively small,

0:04:560:04:59

so, I think you're probably all right.

0:04:590:05:00

I've brought the evidence.

0:05:000:05:02

There you go, Officer Karen. Right?

0:05:020:05:04

Right.

0:05:040:05:06

So, I think where you...

0:05:060:05:08

What's confused you a wee bit is this is a curry pie.

0:05:080:05:11

What?

0:05:140:05:15

This is a curry pie.

0:05:150:05:18

Officer Karen, you don't get curry pies.

0:05:180:05:21

That's like saying I eat toast and strawberries or something.

0:05:210:05:25

-You don't get curries in pies.

-The other one...

0:05:250:05:27

You get a mince pie, a steak pie, and then,

0:05:270:05:29

if you're still hungry, you get a chocolate doughnut.

0:05:290:05:32

Yeah, it's quite a strong curry in the curry pie.

0:05:320:05:35

But, look, if we go through the evidence what you've

0:05:350:05:37

got there is, there's your pie, right?

0:05:370:05:40

This here is chicken with curry on it

0:05:400:05:44

and this is sultanas.

0:05:440:05:47

Sultanas.

0:05:470:05:49

Yeah, which you normally only get in a curry, not in a mince pie.

0:05:490:05:52

Unless you've got any other serious symptoms about it, I think

0:05:520:05:56

probably the pie's fine, it's just a pie you don't like.

0:05:560:05:58

It's not really a police matter and, to be honest, I'm not sure

0:05:580:06:01

environmental health can really help you with that either.

0:06:010:06:04

What I would suggest you do with that is just take it away,

0:06:040:06:08

to be honest. OK.

0:06:080:06:09

Oh, and you're just going to put that back in your pocket?

0:06:090:06:12

-Aye, I'll put it back in my pocket.

-Yeah. OK. See you later, Bobby.

0:06:120:06:15

And I'll see you later, right, Officer Karen?

0:06:150:06:17

-Right, on you go.

-Bye-bye. Bye.

0:06:170:06:18

Oh, left-hand door, well done. See you later, Bobby.

0:06:180:06:20

From a stone-cold pie to a red-hot row.

0:06:200:06:24

The family feud is kicking off at the kerbside.

0:06:240:06:27

No, no, no. Well, we have to write you a ticket, so...

0:06:270:06:30

-You can't give them a ticket.

-We can.

0:06:300:06:32

HE SPEAKS PUNJABI

0:06:320:06:34

Right, come on. That's not fair, I don't sp... Come on. I don't.

0:06:340:06:37

You can't be speaking like that when I'm here,

0:06:370:06:39

I don't know what you're saying.

0:06:390:06:41

-I've got to be involved, do you know what I mean? Exactly.

-Go on.

0:06:410:06:43

-We teach you Punjabi.

-Aye, go on. Tell me something.

0:06:430:06:46

I've always... I ask him all the time to teach me something

0:06:460:06:49

but he never does it, he never listens.

0:06:490:06:51

-I'll teach you the Punjabi dance.

-Go on.

0:06:510:06:53

You can as well, aye?

0:06:530:06:55

If you're breaking the law, you're breaking the law.

0:06:550:06:58

And I have to uphold the law, essentially.

0:06:580:07:00

That is what I have sworn to do.

0:07:000:07:02

What's the point of getting a breathalyser

0:07:020:07:04

when you're all Muslims? You don't drink.

0:07:040:07:05

Oh, right. We're Sikhs. That's a turban.

0:07:050:07:08

Oh, right. Right.

0:07:080:07:09

Indian women don't drink.

0:07:090:07:11

-Indian women don't drink?

-No.

0:07:110:07:13

What do they drink?

0:07:130:07:14

-Not in public.

-Oh, really?

0:07:140:07:16

Can you breathalyse her for me?

0:07:160:07:18

I'm not breathalysing your maw.

0:07:180:07:20

-Oh, I remember. I saw it on television.

-Oh, right. Aye. Aye.

0:07:200:07:24

-In that Taggart programme.

-You like Taggart?

0:07:240:07:27

Do you like Taggart?

0:07:270:07:28

-I love Taggart.

-Oh, aye. So, is there, like, any Indian Taggarts?

0:07:280:07:31

Are there any Indian Taggarts?

0:07:310:07:32

-No...

-That's him.

-You're Indi...you're Indian Taggart!

0:07:320:07:37

-IN INDIAN ACCENT:

-There's been a murder!

0:07:370:07:39

That's a bit racist.

0:07:390:07:41

Ah, sorry, man. I was getting carried away.

0:07:410:07:43

-Sorry. Aye.

-You're still on duty so be professional.

0:07:430:07:45

I know, I know, I know. What?

0:07:450:07:47

-Oh, my God, man.

-I can only apologise.

0:07:490:07:51

-Nice to meet you.

-Yeah, it was great meeting you.

0:07:510:07:53

-Please enjoy your party.

-Yes, we will.

-Enjoy it.

0:07:530:07:55

Oh, aye. I'll see you later on. See you later on.

0:07:550:07:57

Obey the traffic laws.

0:07:570:07:59

See you later on, big man, all right? You enjoy yourself.

0:07:590:08:01

Catch you later, mucker, all right? Catch you later, man.

0:08:010:08:04

Sorry about him, man.

0:08:040:08:05

He gave his maw a ticket.

0:08:050:08:07

He gave his maw a ticket. A speeding ticket.

0:08:070:08:09

I didn't give her a ticket, she gave herself a ticket.

0:08:090:08:12

Aye, but it was your maw.

0:08:120:08:14

Your maw's your maw but the law's the law.

0:08:140:08:16

Listen, there's not a criminal worth his salt that hasn't given

0:08:170:08:21

the police a false name, you know, so...

0:08:210:08:23

But you've got to be very careful because some people give a name,

0:08:230:08:26

turns out it's really their name, you know?

0:08:260:08:29

There's a Mr Mittens that's been in and out

0:08:290:08:32

the station over the years.

0:08:320:08:34

Raymond Peanuts, a real fellow. Lives in Gartcosh.

0:08:340:08:38

There was a Don Chorus who actually exists and he had D-O-N,

0:08:380:08:42

and he had a sister called Dawn Chorus.

0:08:420:08:44

So, their parents are just having a laugh at them, poor kids.

0:08:440:08:47

But it's actually their names. Nicola Sturgeon, there's one.

0:08:470:08:50

I mean, the first time I met Nicola Sturgeon, she says to me,

0:08:500:08:53

"Hello. I'm Nicola Sturgeon."

0:08:530:08:55

I go, "Oh, right. Yeah, and I'm Harry Haddock."

0:08:550:08:57

But, of course, it turns out she's actually called Nicola Sturgeon.

0:08:570:09:02

Ridiculous. So be on your guard.

0:09:020:09:03

From the First Minister to first-class law administers.

0:09:050:09:09

If I get my hands on him...

0:09:090:09:10

I need to arrest you for being

0:09:100:09:12

too good-looking, do you know what I mean? It's not fair.

0:09:120:09:14

It's not fair on all these lads out here, is it?

0:09:140:09:18

Robbery. High street. Move it.

0:09:180:09:21

Oh!

0:09:210:09:22

PCs Jack McLaren and Sarah Fletcher

0:09:230:09:26

present a perfect policing partnership.

0:09:260:09:29

To break up the monotony we always swap about jobs.

0:09:290:09:32

Sometimes driving, sometimes on...

0:09:320:09:34

If there's a bag snatch, one of us will take the statement,

0:09:340:09:37

the other person will go looking for the bag, and we alternate.

0:09:370:09:40

So it's turnabout, basically.

0:09:400:09:41

But on the way to a bag snatch,

0:09:410:09:43

a familiar face forces PC McLaren to suggest a change to the system.

0:09:430:09:46

I'll buy you a coffee and your lunch if I can go looking for the bag.

0:09:460:09:49

It's your turn.

0:09:490:09:51

Aye, I know, but I just... You're better with women that way.

0:09:510:09:53

-Them's the rules. Them's the rules.

-Aye, no, I know. I'll let you drive.

0:09:530:09:57

No, I'll do it. I'll do it.

0:09:570:09:59

Coffee, lunch, drive? Ah, how you doing?

0:09:590:10:01

-Hiya.

-I'm going to leave you with my colleague, Jack,

0:10:010:10:04

and I'm going to go and look for your bag.

0:10:040:10:06

-Thank you.

-How's it going? All right?

0:10:060:10:08

Hi, Jack. How are you?

0:10:080:10:10

Not bad. Not bad. How's yourself?

0:10:100:10:11

I'm good, thanks. Well, except for having my bag stolen.

0:10:110:10:16

So, aye, let's...

0:10:160:10:17

straight to business and we'll get you a couple of details here.

0:10:170:10:22

Name - obviously Claire. Claire - second name still...

0:10:220:10:28

-Long.

-Still Long.

-Yeah, still Long. Uh-huh.

0:10:280:10:30

Not married?

0:10:300:10:31

No, no.

0:10:310:10:33

What happened?

0:10:330:10:34

I was putting my brolly up and I put it down

0:10:340:10:36

and they just came and grabbed it.

0:10:360:10:38

Basics, aye. You should never leave it.

0:10:380:10:41

What bag was it? Description?

0:10:410:10:44

It was the white and blue one.

0:10:440:10:47

Expensive.

0:10:480:10:50

-Was it?

-Very.

0:10:500:10:51

Oh, right. I mean, it's a lovely bag.

0:10:510:10:54

-I use it all the time.

-That's why I chose it.

0:10:540:10:56

Expensive.

0:10:560:10:58

Yeah, quite a rare one, you won't get another one like that.

0:10:590:11:02

I mean, I do like the bag. I hope I get the bag back.

0:11:020:11:04

I'm not bothered. Doesn't...

0:11:040:11:06

Don't care if you like the bag or not.

0:11:060:11:08

Still in the same house?

0:11:080:11:10

Uh-huh. Yeah, still in the flat up the road, aye.

0:11:100:11:12

On your own?

0:11:120:11:14

Uh-huh.

0:11:140:11:16

Good. For you.

0:11:160:11:18

So, how long has it been now?

0:11:180:11:21

About a year, I think?

0:11:210:11:23

-Just last summer.

-Aye.

0:11:230:11:25

Remember we were... Well, you'd booked that holiday

0:11:250:11:27

and I just thought it was a wee bit too quick,

0:11:270:11:29

it was just such a big surprise.

0:11:290:11:31

Well, that was the point. I had to sort it out with your boss.

0:11:310:11:34

Well, I just didn't want to put you out

0:11:340:11:35

-and, you know, I just... I didn't...

-Put me £600 out.

0:11:350:11:38

Deposit I never got back.

0:11:380:11:41

You did go on the holiday.

0:11:410:11:42

Aye, I didn't get your deposit back though, did I?

0:11:420:11:45

Anyway, that's all by the by, it was a cracking holiday

0:11:450:11:47

and what a power of riding I got through.

0:11:470:11:49

But your phone bill must have been extortionate.

0:11:490:11:52

It's... You phoned me about 72 times.

0:11:520:11:55

It wasn't me.

0:11:550:11:56

Well, it was you. I spoke to you.

0:11:560:11:59

No, that was the waiter kidding on he was me.

0:11:590:12:01

He stole my phone.

0:12:010:12:03

It's really nice to see you, anyway.

0:12:050:12:07

Aye.

0:12:070:12:08

And you're not crying this time so that's good.

0:12:080:12:11

Success as PC Fletcher locates the victim's stolen bag.

0:12:120:12:17

Oh, brilliant! Thank you so much.

0:12:170:12:19

-They ran off, but as long as everything's there.

-Yeah.

0:12:190:12:22

Lucky to get things back. We don't always get our money back, do we?

0:12:220:12:25

-Sometimes you...

-No, but everything's there, so...

0:12:250:12:27

I know, but I'm saying, hypothetically,

0:12:270:12:29

sometimes people don't always get things back.

0:12:290:12:31

-My partner and I should move on now, so...

-Yeah.

0:12:310:12:34

I moved on a long time ago.

0:12:340:12:36

So, nice to see you, Jack.

0:12:360:12:39

-Right, all the best, take care.

-Thanks.

-OK.

0:12:390:12:41

Some bags are bags for life, aren't they?

0:12:410:12:43

Not like the ones you can buy at the supermarket,

0:12:430:12:46

but that could have been a bag for life.

0:12:460:12:48

It was a better bag than a bag for life.

0:12:480:12:51

She'll not get another bag like that.

0:12:510:12:53

But in this instance we did get it back, so...

0:12:530:12:56

I know, but she needs to learn the lesson

0:12:560:12:59

that if she didn't get it back, she still COULD get it back

0:12:590:13:02

if she just asked...the police to get the bag back.

0:13:020:13:07

She did ask the police and we did get it back, so...

0:13:070:13:12

Mm-hmm. So, she's the winner, again.

0:13:130:13:16

Are we still talking about a bag?

0:13:170:13:19

Scotland's land -

0:13:190:13:20

beautiful to look at, but torn apart by territorial turmoil.

0:13:200:13:25

PCs McIntosh and Mackay are called out to a turf war.

0:13:250:13:29

Do you feel that?

0:13:290:13:31

No, do you want me to feel it?

0:13:310:13:32

We were called out to this estate to a territorial dispute

0:13:330:13:36

between two older gentlemen.

0:13:360:13:40

This is unbelievable!

0:13:400:13:41

I can't believe this is a driveway, it's like the A9.

0:13:420:13:45

'One of them claimed that the other one was building

0:13:450:13:48

'a fence into his land and he wanted us to resolve it.'

0:13:480:13:51

Who is complaining?

0:13:510:13:53

-It is a Hunter MacDonald, if you know him?

-Ah. Yes, yes, yes.

0:13:530:13:56

Well, he claims that the fence is just...

0:13:560:13:59

It's crossed over into his land.

0:13:590:14:01

-He says you're building on...

-Really?

-..his land.

0:14:010:14:03

I don't know. I mean, I'll certainly check, if you like.

0:14:030:14:05

If there's been a mistake, I will rectify it, certainly.

0:14:050:14:08

Seemed like a lovely guy.

0:14:080:14:10

-'He was really pleasant.

-Really pleasant, helpful,'

0:14:100:14:13

forthcoming with information.

0:14:130:14:14

'However, we then went to visit Mr MacDonald'

0:14:140:14:16

to tell him about the discussion that we'd had,

0:14:160:14:19

that everything would be resolved.

0:14:190:14:20

Well, are we on the same page here?

0:14:200:14:22

Are we talking about the same Calder Campbell?

0:14:220:14:26

Thief, rogue, vagabond, arsehole.

0:14:260:14:28

Are we talking about the same person?

0:14:280:14:30

You know, you two have been sold right up the Swannee. He's had you.

0:14:300:14:34

He's a terrible man! A terrible, terrible man!

0:14:340:14:36

Keep your voice down, please. That might be your opinion...

0:14:360:14:39

This situation between the Campbells and MacDonalds

0:14:390:14:41

has been ongoing for a thousand years.

0:14:410:14:43

You don't understand very much about the Campbells and MacDonalds.

0:14:430:14:46

We're trying hard to

0:14:460:14:48

and Mr Campbell assured us that you had been...

0:14:480:14:50

Well, you're not trying hard enough, miss.

0:14:500:14:52

-Things got a little out of control.

-Oh, I'll say!

0:14:520:14:55

# Oh, the Campbells are coming You can tell by the smell... #

0:14:550:14:59

Ah, you bastard! How dare you?!

0:14:590:15:01

# The Campbells are coming They're all going to hell... #

0:15:010:15:03

How dare you go to the BLEEP police!

0:15:030:15:05

Mr Campbell flies onto the property on a quad bike.

0:15:050:15:09

With a shotgun.

0:15:090:15:10

-We shall settle this mano-a-mano!

-You're trespassing on my land!

0:15:100:15:14

-Mr Campbell...

-THEY SQUABBLE

0:15:140:15:17

Now, listen, you are an arse! An arse!

0:15:170:15:19

-You have been for the last 60 years.

-Oh, your arse!

0:15:190:15:22

-Who do you think you are?

-Please calm down.

0:15:220:15:24

-Let's... What?!

-Calm down.

0:15:240:15:26

I can sense there's a little bit of tension

0:15:260:15:28

-and it's sometimes...

-Oh, well done, Police(!)

0:15:280:15:30

You actually sense...

0:15:300:15:32

See what I'm saying? See, I told you that earlier.

0:15:320:15:34

Well, well, well! How clever!

0:15:340:15:36

I expected more from you, Mr Campbell.

0:15:360:15:38

-He's lost his bloody mind!

-You bloody...

-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

0:15:380:15:41

I'm used to handling men of all ages,

0:15:410:15:45

sometimes in large numbers,

0:15:450:15:47

and sometimes the only way to deal with them is to dominate.

0:15:470:15:50

OK! Shut your faces! You talk first. What's the problem?

0:15:500:15:55

You've already taken God knows how many feet off my land.

0:15:550:15:57

Now you'll be taking a few more yards, then a few more yards!

0:15:570:16:00

Then another 100 yards! Then my bloody house!

0:16:000:16:02

Why would I want to take your stupid sheep-stealer shack of a house?!

0:16:020:16:06

-Because it's in your DNA!

-I have got a beautiful house of my own.

0:16:060:16:09

Let's go!

0:16:090:16:11

-Let's just resolve this once and for all.

-What?

0:16:110:16:14

-We're going to have a duel. Like gentlemen.

-What with?

0:16:140:16:16

-Get them arrested and in the back of the vehicle.

-Guns!

0:16:160:16:19

And that's when we had to say, "Enough is enough, guys."

0:16:190:16:21

-You illegitimate bastard!

-I am NOT illegitimate!

0:16:210:16:24

-Of course you are!

-It's YOU that's the bastard!

0:16:240:16:27

I was scared for Charlie.

0:16:270:16:29

-You needn't have been but I appreciate that.

-Mmm.

0:16:290:16:32

-Sheep-stealing bastard!

-I don't know what to do with him.

0:16:320:16:35

'McIntosh and Mackay are left with little leeway...'

0:16:350:16:38

Not going to speak to you any more.

0:16:380:16:39

'..and these lairy lairds land themselves

0:16:390:16:42

'in the local station lock-up.'

0:16:420:16:44

For Volunteer Officer Ken Beattie,

0:16:470:16:49

every day is an opportunity to learn something new...

0:16:490:16:53

Excuse me, there. Are you Fern Britton?

0:16:530:16:54

No.

0:16:540:16:56

Oh, OK. Have a nice day.

0:16:560:16:57

..and become the ultimate volunteer.

0:16:570:17:00

'Yes, we do get appraisals at work.'

0:17:000:17:01

I got one recently, actually,

0:17:010:17:04

saying I had to be more "authorative",

0:17:040:17:07

which I didn't agree with, which was slightly mean.

0:17:070:17:10

But I decided to take the suggestion on board, shall we say?

0:17:100:17:14

See, there's a law now that you can only walk four dogs.

0:17:150:17:19

'There was this woman at the park

0:17:190:17:21

'and she kept flouting the law, you know?'

0:17:210:17:23

And flouting it in my face.

0:17:230:17:25

I understand, this is your livelihood,

0:17:250:17:27

but this is my livelihood too... if I got paid.

0:17:270:17:31

But that's not the point. OK?

0:17:310:17:33

I confiscated the dogs from her.

0:17:330:17:35

Now, you go off and tell your superiors

0:17:350:17:37

that they can come to the pound and collect them. OK?

0:17:370:17:40

'She was breaking the law, OK?'

0:17:400:17:42

My hands were tied with dog leads.

0:17:420:17:45

No-one makes Ken Beattie look stupid.

0:17:450:17:48

'I took the dogs to the pound,

0:17:490:17:51

'and that was me being "authorative".'

0:17:510:17:53

-Hello.

-Oh, aye. Hello.

-How are you?

0:17:530:17:56

Hello, how am I? How are you with your five dogs?

0:17:560:17:59

-Oh, I've got...

-Five dogs! I've got two dogs, you've got five dogs.

0:17:590:18:03

-The law is four dogs.

-I know... Yes, I know.

-Four. Four dogs.

0:18:030:18:05

Look, don't tell me that! I know what the law is.

0:18:050:18:08

-Oh, don't me tell you?

-What are you all about, man?

0:18:080:18:10

-Look at the state of it.

-I'm taking these...

0:18:100:18:12

-You're kidding yourself on.

-Five dogs!

0:18:120:18:14

YOU'RE kidding yourself on.

0:18:140:18:17

Have you got a spare poop bag for me?

0:18:170:18:19

-Oh, a poop bag?

-Yes.

0:18:190:18:20

-He's wanting poop bags.

-Is it for yourself?

-You're a poop bag.

0:18:200:18:23

-It's not for myself.

-See, if you went to the shops,

0:18:230:18:25

how much would it cost you for a bag?

0:18:250:18:27

-I don't... 5p.

-5p.

0:18:270:18:30

Up with the cash.

0:18:300:18:31

-Are you serious?

-Up with the cash.

0:18:310:18:33

-Give her the money.

-Blackmailing me?

0:18:330:18:35

Blackmailing? That'll be right.

0:18:350:18:37

Blackmailing! He's breaking the law.

0:18:370:18:39

-Here.

-There you go.

0:18:390:18:41

-Aye.

-Speak to you tomorrow.

-Away you go.

0:18:410:18:43

-You'll not speak to us.

-I won't speak to you again.

0:18:430:18:45

No, we've got another couple of dogs.

0:18:450:18:47

-See if we fit in with you then. Come on.

-Right.

0:18:470:18:50

I'd to pick up dog poop.

0:18:500:18:51

OK. Don't eat it! Don't eat it! Away!

0:18:510:18:53

It's not a very pleasant experience at all.

0:18:530:18:56

Especially when it's not your own dog.

0:18:560:18:57

No more pooping until we reach the pound, OK?

0:19:010:19:04

Away!

0:19:040:19:06

The dogs were impounded.

0:19:060:19:09

I felt like Cruella De Vil.

0:19:110:19:13

From walkies...

0:19:130:19:15

No, you're not playing stick now.

0:19:150:19:17

..to talkies.

0:19:170:19:18

Scottish Police Force's Maggie LeBeau is first in line,

0:19:180:19:21

on the line, to help those in need.

0:19:210:19:24

And in what way exactly does she look like Vanessa Feltz?

0:19:240:19:29

OK, if you could just keep at a safe distance from the attacker.

0:19:290:19:33

Oh, you ARE the attacker. Right.

0:19:330:19:38

So, the new Scottish Police Force website has a great feature.

0:19:380:19:42

Basically, we have a database where we collate all the crimes

0:19:420:19:45

that are taking place and you can just stick in your postcode

0:19:450:19:48

and it'll come up with what crime is most prevalent in your area,

0:19:480:19:51

which is brilliant if you're trying

0:19:510:19:53

to buy a house, for example, you know?

0:19:530:19:55

Stick the postcode in, let's say car theft

0:19:550:19:59

and housebreaking comes up, that's all right.

0:19:590:20:02

Just get a good alarm system, you'll be fine.

0:20:020:20:05

But, say, knife crime and incest comes up, maybe keep looking.

0:20:050:20:11

Unless that's your thing.

0:20:110:20:13

All right, Officer Karen?

0:20:150:20:18

-Hello, Bobby.

-How are you doing?

-What can we do for you today?

0:20:180:20:21

Oh, you'll love this, by the way.

0:20:210:20:22

-Hit me.

-You ready?

-Yep.

0:20:220:20:24

Are you ready? I think it's going to be a surprise.

0:20:240:20:26

Here we go.

0:20:260:20:27

Happy birthday!

0:20:270:20:29

Surprise!

0:20:310:20:33

And there's flowers as well.

0:20:330:20:35

Happy birthday, Officer Karen.

0:20:350:20:37

Thanks, it's... That's really very kind of you, thank you very much.

0:20:370:20:42

I properly appreciate it... I'm just a wee bit...

0:20:420:20:45

How did you find out that it was my birthday?

0:20:450:20:48

Well, remember that time I tried to add you on Facebook

0:20:480:20:51

and you've not accepted my friend request yet?

0:20:510:20:53

Yeah. Well, it's blocked on the computers in here.

0:20:530:20:56

We're not allowed to access Facebook at work, so...

0:20:560:20:58

I seen it on your Facebook.

0:20:580:21:00

I seen your birthday and I was like that,

0:21:000:21:02

"Well, I'm going to treat Officer Karen."

0:21:020:21:04

I made you a home-made birthday card and I got you a cake as well.

0:21:040:21:09

-That's...

-And I only got that for 50 pence so that's good.

0:21:090:21:12

So, what are you doing tonight then for your birthday? What's happening?

0:21:120:21:15

What's the plans? You got anything on?

0:21:150:21:17

I think I'm just going to have a quiet night in.

0:21:170:21:19

Are you just chilling?

0:21:190:21:21

Yeah. I just... I'm going to just head up the road.

0:21:210:21:23

-I'm chuffed with myself.

-Right, birthday girl!

0:21:230:21:26

See you down the boozer for your wee party, eh?

0:21:260:21:29

You don't look a day over 21.

0:21:290:21:32

-20...

-Yeah, OK. See you in a bit.

0:21:320:21:36

-21.

-So...

0:21:360:21:38

Boozer?

0:21:380:21:39

Is that the boozer, aye? For your birthday?

0:21:410:21:43

Aye, well...it's... It's nothing, it's just a wee...

0:21:450:21:49

It's like a work thing, you know? You have to...

0:21:490:21:52

The boys. With the boys and that.

0:21:520:21:55

It's just a couple of mates. It's just... It's quite a quiet...

0:21:550:21:58

Sergeant Donaldson, aye.

0:21:580:22:00

Yeah, yeah. Erm...

0:22:000:22:02

If you go to the pub tonight, you can take your cake for...

0:22:040:22:07

And Sergeant Donaldson can have a wee slice and stuff and...

0:22:070:22:10

But I'm not doing anything tonight, anyway,

0:22:100:22:13

I've got, like, the X-Files box set and I'll watch that

0:22:130:22:16

and I'll get some pizza or something but... I don't know.

0:22:160:22:20

-Yeah.

-I don't know.

0:22:200:22:22

But... Anyway, have a good time tonight, right, Officer Karen?

0:22:250:22:29

See you later, right?

0:22:290:22:30

And tell...tell Sergeant Donaldson he can have as much cake as he wants

0:22:300:22:34

as long as he leaves you with a good bit, right?

0:22:340:22:36

See you later.

0:22:390:22:40

Yeah, so, I'm off to London this week. Very exciting.

0:22:470:22:50

Been a while since I've been down there.

0:22:500:22:52

So, how do I get back to New Scotland Yard? Do you know?

0:22:520:22:54

You know, there's nothing the mean streets of London can teach me,

0:22:540:22:57

but still it's always good to take the temperature of the place.

0:22:570:23:01

Meeting up with Harry Cope,

0:23:010:23:02

who is an old friend, actually.

0:23:020:23:04

He's now working down there,

0:23:040:23:06

he's Deputy Chief of the London City force.

0:23:060:23:10

We're working together, it's a joint operation

0:23:100:23:12

called Operation Boomslang and we're doing a press conference.

0:23:120:23:15

'And I'm excited to see Harry.'

0:23:150:23:17

-Oh, here he is.

-Cameron, how are you? Sorry to keep you waiting.

0:23:170:23:20

No, that's fine. I'd plenty to do.

0:23:200:23:22

-Sorry for keeping you waiting.

-You're looking very well.

0:23:220:23:25

-Yes...

-You got any hair under there? Come on, show me.

0:23:250:23:27

-Slightly more than you do.

-Show me, I bet you haven't.

0:23:270:23:29

Let's get that... OK, put your hat back on. That's lovely.

0:23:290:23:32

Is that a transplant?

0:23:320:23:34

It's certainly not a transplant. Is that?

0:23:340:23:36

-Well, that's all paid for.

-That beer baby you're carrying there.

0:23:360:23:40

That is all paid for, son. Good to see you.

0:23:400:23:42

-Good to see you as always.

-Please.

0:23:420:23:44

Go on. Well, after you.

0:23:440:23:45

No. No, no, no. I insist. You.

0:23:450:23:47

Is it... Are these seats the same... the same level?

0:23:470:23:50

We're here to discuss a cross-border initiative

0:23:510:23:55

between the Scottish Police Force

0:23:550:23:57

and the City of London Police Force called Boomslang.

0:23:570:24:00

Operation Boomslang is co-operation, friendship,

0:24:000:24:05

dialogue between the NATION of Scotland and the CITY of London.

0:24:050:24:11

Boomslang is a snake with two heads

0:24:110:24:14

and that's where the idea for this operation came together.

0:24:140:24:17

You imagine you're in a Chinese

0:24:170:24:19

trying to eat a meal with one chopstick, it's not going to happen.

0:24:190:24:22

This is a two-chopstick operation that we're here to discuss.

0:24:220:24:25

As a NATIONAL leader of the Police Force,

0:24:250:24:29

I'm in charge of a unified police force of an entire COUNTRY

0:24:290:24:33

and we wanted to talk to some of our CITY colleagues

0:24:330:24:36

who are smaller, the smaller...

0:24:360:24:39

Well, I wouldn't say one of the smaller police forces,

0:24:390:24:41

we are actually one of the largest police forces,

0:24:410:24:44

not only in Great Britain, but possibly in the world,

0:24:440:24:47

which I think... We dwarf you up there by quite a margin.

0:24:470:24:51

In numbers, not in results.

0:24:510:24:54

It's... We're in the results business is all I'm saying

0:24:540:24:56

and really, you try and get from here to the car across London

0:24:560:24:59

and see if you've still got your wallet is all I'm saying.

0:24:590:25:01

Does Deputy Chief Commissioner Cope

0:25:010:25:04

have any comments on rumours he's moving back north?

0:25:040:25:07

Well, I would... Now, that...

0:25:070:25:10

Well, that's a slightly unfair question

0:25:100:25:12

seeing as Cameron is sitting here.

0:25:120:25:13

I mentioned in passing that I would like to go back

0:25:130:25:16

to a more pastoral form of policing.

0:25:160:25:18

I don't believe the position of deputy is currently open.

0:25:180:25:22

Well, the rumour I heard was that you were resigning

0:25:220:25:25

-or being asked to...

-No, no, that's...rumour.

0:25:250:25:28

I'm very, very, very...

0:25:280:25:29

Aye, you would take this job from my cold, dead hands.

0:25:290:25:34

It was merely a conversation over the future of Scottish...

0:25:340:25:36

Listen, no truth in the matter, no.

0:25:360:25:38

Boomslang is rolling out across the country

0:25:380:25:42

and inter-departmentally starting from next Wednesday.

0:25:420:25:46

We want to be discussing...

0:25:460:25:49

Sorry. Sorry, excuse me, I've got... There's a call I have to take.

0:25:490:25:52

If you could finish wrapping up, that would be great.

0:25:520:25:54

-Yes. Good, so, that's...

-Thank you very much.

0:25:540:25:57

I've got a meeting as well, I've got a very important meeting

0:25:570:26:00

so thank you very much for coming and I have to go to my meeting.

0:26:000:26:03

-Don't you

-BLEEP

-talk to me like that again, you...

0:26:030:26:05

-You were talking absolute

-BLEEP

-in there, I had to get out.

0:26:050:26:08

-No, you

-BLEEP

-idiot!

0:26:080:26:10

Very nice to see Harry again. He hasn't changed a bit.

0:26:100:26:12

He's exactly as he was, he's always... Always has been like that.

0:26:120:26:16

No, delighted.

0:26:160:26:17

Trip went very well, very nice to be down here,

0:26:170:26:20

Operation Boomslang is under way,

0:26:200:26:22

and... Well, it's eight hours to the sleeper, so, I'll...

0:26:220:26:26

I'll maybe get myself down the half-price ticket booth,

0:26:260:26:30

so, OK, safe journey back.

0:26:300:26:32

Back up the road...

0:26:330:26:35

on the road, Officers Singh and McKirdy

0:26:350:26:38

are about to hit the road at the end of another shift.

0:26:380:26:41

It's that time of the day again.

0:26:430:26:45

Five, four, three, two, one...

0:26:450:26:49

This shift is over! Get the tunes on!

0:26:490:26:53

MUSIC: Mundian To Bach Ke by Panjabi MC

0:26:530:26:55

You love this tune, don't you?

0:26:550:26:56

Oh, I love it.

0:26:560:26:57

How is it you do it? How do you do it?

0:26:580:27:01

-Calm, calm, calm. First, remember what I told you, right?

-What?

0:27:010:27:04

Oh, aye, the thing with the light bulbs, man.

0:27:040:27:06

Twist the light bulbs. Twist the light bulbs. There you go.

0:27:060:27:10

MCKIRDY SINGS ALONG

0:27:100:27:13

-Now let's go for the shoulders.

-Oh, aye, that's it.

0:27:130:27:15

-We don't know anything.

-Aye, we don't know anything.

0:27:150:27:17

-I don't know anything.

-What are you talking about?

0:27:170:27:20

Who knows? Who cares?

0:27:200:27:23

Let's ride the bike.

0:27:230:27:24

There you go!

0:27:240:27:27

THEY SING ALONG

0:27:270:27:31

Oh, takes a lot out of you, that, doesn't it?

0:27:350:27:37

Oh, mate, you should go to an Indian wedding.

0:27:370:27:40

What, aye, really, aye?

0:27:400:27:41

-Oh, high energy, mate. High energy.

-Awful workout. Aye.

0:27:410:27:43

-Oof!

-People just blazing, man?

0:27:430:27:45

-You'd be sweating.

-Aye? Just sweating all over the dance floor?

0:27:450:27:48

Aye, it's a good workout. Really good workout, aye.

0:27:480:27:51

-Folk sliding all over the place.

-Good times, mate, good times.

0:27:510:27:53

SINGH SINGS ALONG

0:27:560:27:59

-Hey! Hey!

-Hey!

-Hey!

0:27:590:28:02

-Aye, go on.

0:28:040:28:08

Try that.

0:28:080:28:09
