In episode 8 Sgt Penny reported DC Lines for a minor disciplinary offence, yet when being caught for drink drive he tries to unsuccessfully pull some strings to get let off; what a hypocrite.
If you go to a Wetherspoons pub, you can still manage such a feat. However, in even my regular pub; you would be hard pushed to buy two pints for under a tenner (£10)...!
What I don't understand is how he would blow 52 on one and a half pints (17 points over the limit of 35)... which makes his limit one pint of 4%(approx) bitter...
Penny was a secret drinker after having been shot. His wife went to see Cryer about how much he was secretly struggling and how concerned she was. The 1.5 pints wouldn't have caused him to blow 52 - but on top of the rest it probably would. Not that I watched a lot of this of course...

An adult regular drinker just taking 1 and 1/2 of lager would never score 52, 25/30 maybe. To get that reading of 52 your talking 3 to 5 pints at least unless its your first time drinking, weigh less than 10 stone and have eaten nothing prior to the drink.
Hang on.Can someone please tell me how many pints he'd had? It couldn't have been more than two. Penny seems pretty merry, but not pissed! I was 15 in 1990 hahaha
I don't think Penny is racist as he works with black coppers and Asian coppers. It may of sounded he was abit racist when he said a Paki shop. But when a woman who was arrested for assault I think between series 6 or 8 she called Narika Datta a Paki and Sergeant Penny said that's enough
Penny was a prat, but this episode I felt sorry for him. Not that I agree with drink driving, it was a setup and it was Peters who gave him no choice but to grass up Coles
I always felt sorry for Penny after he got shot but after watching the very early series before the shooting and finding out he hit his wife..no sympathy
Can’t remember which politician proposed this but it was an interesting approach. You should be allowed to be drunk when sitting your driving test. If you pass, then you are permitted to drink & drive.
It was probably some old soak, that had all but pickled their own liver... and had perhaps lost their licence owing to a drink-driving conviction...! 🤔
Bob Cryer straight as a arrow and a great sergeant
He is so realistic in his portrayal as a uniform sergeant, its uncanny
When The Bill was a good show.
Sad what happened to Roger Leach. Cancer is a horrible illness. RIP.
Played the part of Sgt Penny well....a very complex character.

Good stuff the snitch
LYONS! (Sorry, had to say it.)
@@ThomasCorfield Hmmm yours looks the correct spelling, however in the credits it says 'Lines'. Oh well.
@@fishwba7774 Then I stand very much corrected. :)
Inspector Twist is now Inspector Cato.
The Bald Headed Bastard from Barton Street
Goes back further Penny used to hit his wife then snitches on Tosh Lines for having a Lodger while claiming rent of the met
The Barton Street station really were full of a-holes.
Sgt Penny moaning about not getting much change from a fiver for 2 pints. Fast forward 30 years……

The year this came out I was 21 and in retrospect I wish I had been older preferably 26 27 28 29 or even 30 or 30 plus
By the book Penny, Karma at it's finest.
This is a rehash of an earlier bill episode from the same season, where carver got done for drink driving.

Probably spiked by Barton Street cops

Never trust a copper ! 😂
One of the rare moments we see the interior of Barton Street nick..
Reminds me of my old school!!
And inspector Twist reminds me of my old Biology teacher....excuse me...think I'm going into post traumatic stress!!
I like their wallpaper.
Unlucky Tom
Happens in Cleveland Police all of the time
Bent coppers get one of their own; this story arch took several episodes.
Barton St had some proper dodgy officers, had Sgt Coles in this series & D.C Bomford in season 16 episode The only way is up

Revenge from Barton Street .

Penny said it was a Pint & a half. You can see he doesn't even finish the drink
No he wasn't pissed he had 1 and a half, that's why I don't know what the fuss is about
@@shezziesbabyNo so that's why I don't know what the fuss is about
terrorising a pa&i shop - even that late on ,still racist comments
