When Police Were Police And They Could Chase The Villains

The 2 previous Reviewers were spot on with their comments. I love a crime thriller based on the old fashioned police methods, where the Sargent was out doing community policing with his ear to the ground, picking up all those vital bits of information. Talking to a near relative of mine, who has retired from the police “force” some 10 years ago, they caught the Yorkshire Ripper with as the say now in 2024, old fashioned policing, a Panda petrol out on the streets, did a stop on a car late at night with a young man and women, the man asked if he could go have a “leak” and hid the weapon he had and was going to use again on the young woman in the car, police went back the next day to where he had the “leak” and found the weapon and therefore Yorkshire Ripper. So please enjoy this classic to when police were left to policing and not all the have to put up with today, wink, 😉

This is a very basic detective story, without wit, depth characterization or any or even red herrings. I suppose it's as good an example as any of the basic detective story where unravelling whodunnit' is the only remit. Tip to time-travellers: wearing a mink coat in - at reast the early 1960s - disabled electronic security devices.

Outdated electronic gadgets, police officers drinking endless cups of tea and well-behaved and polite suspects. No foul language. Works very well for me, indeed as I like diving back into an era when Britain was still recognisable and not disfigured by plagues starting with the letter B. Thank you for uploading it!
