- Bulman is undercover as a beat copper investigating the dodgy antics of a sergeant (the Briscoe of the title). Briscoe knows every trick in the book but is he crooked? It’s up to Bulman to find out.
(Plot spoilers below)
Michael Byrne is Briscoe, he’s one of those actors that does unsympathetic really well. He’s definitely sailing close to the wind in terms of job, moving white goods in the police van, drinking on duty in the local pub (making sure he doesn’t pay for the beer either) and paying a couple of home visits.The whole episode takes place over the course of one night shift, Bulman is the only regular cast member to appear. There is also the added bonus of a scene involving Bulman dancing.
The familiar face of David Neilson, best known for Z-Cars, and later in Coronation Street as Roy Cropper, makes an appearance as Torchy.
First broadcast 3rd May 1978.

Best episode and the follow up in series 2. Michael Byrne is a fantastic actor and still going strong today.
Really enjoyed this episode. The bloke who plays Briscoe is an excellent actor indeed.
thanks for taking the time and effort to post these classics!
Cheers for that. Appreciated.
Great series
I never could quite get where the plotting was going for this episode.
And what a smug character, is Briscoe. Out of all the characters on this episode, he did the majority of the talking!
I shall have to wait and see if I concur - as I haven't got round to watching yet. The irony, eh, having uploaded all these videos!
Bulman under cover investigating a crooked copper, Briscoe, as it were.
Roy cropper from coronation street 😂
A very fresh faced version.
He was, I recognised him in boys from the black stuff as well
@@bradz007 And we lost Yosser yesterday.
@FoogouFilms yea , he did really well in his career looking back , ps your channel has taken me back in time to a place when we didn't have all this crap on tv now , Anyone reading , don't watch todays news , watch channels like this instead , it will definitely put you in a better place and mood , trust me .
@@bradz007 You know, part of the reason I started this channel was to escape all of that crap. I'm not against quality new stuff, and occasianally there is something worth watching, but vertually everything now involves some kind of ideaological stance, propaganda etc. It seems difficult to tell straightforward stories these days without some kind of angle. Anyway, pleased you're enjoying the various stuff I put up.
I save and watch later everything GRANADA!
