"Rickyyyyyyyyyyyy".

Great episode.

[@user-km2tp1tb6w]

Burnside touch with Tony was a great moment

[@Piccolo...]

Reading the comments here "Riiiickyyy" made me giggle.

[@glenncooney3959]

The secretary at 11:42 is Tina Mahon, who is best known as Ronnie Birtles in Grange Hill (1985-1991). Patsy Palmer was also in Grange Hill as an extra though her character was called Natasha before she had her big break in EastEnders. Another GH alumnus in Lee MacDonald (aka Zammo Maguire). Just say no.

Poor Bob Cryer never had much luck with shooting related incidents throughout his career. He was closely involved with the failed attempt to talk down a gun man who then got shot by Galloway and co in series 2. Then this incident happened, which also left its mark on him. And finally his career was ended by Smithy when he accidentally shot him in the School hostage episode in 2001.

[@aleks8888no]

In this case he had to shoot.

[@London_J]

It's strange how he was the main character, and then he kind of became the side character in that eventually a background character.

[@akapple3538]

@@London_J Cryer was an old school copper who was perfect for the old “Bill” but once the show turned into a soap opera they needed younger and prettier characters.

[@graemewatson1106]

In the episode Missing Persumed Dead while on persuit of a car he thinks was used in a gangland murder Bob knocks down an old woman who dies her dog dragged her on to the road plus Bob’s vision was impaired by heavy rain

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Cryer was to old to be a copper by 2001 he was 61 By then Plus he always looked like he needed a good feed he always looked about 10 Stone ringing wet💦

[@London_J]

Found it interesting they would pass by the road signs and still call it out as the wrong road.

Bob did what he was trained to do and the top brass too worried bout covering their own necks typical Real life firearms officers in the met eithier S019 or units like the flying squad the ptsd these officers must deal with must be horrible

[@deanmeyer68]

A man protects the community by stopping a criminal who is threatening people and everyone has palpitations over it. Idiotic. The court would have sent the criminal to jail for six months and then let him go to repeat his actions.

[@alexgroushko3142]

Reg, jumping the gun. 😂

3:34 June asks the man his name and when she does the name check she has his full name and date of birth, all of which he never told her

That's because she's such a great copper.😉

Yeah, she was probably the best looking cast member from the entire series. Well, apart from Reg Hollis :)

@@christophermoore753 I forgot about Rose, she was a hottie, but I really dont watch the episodes from her era, it was way too soapy, her (real life husband) Eddie Santini was a very poor actor with the lines he was given (forced to read)

@Qasim Hussain it did change a lot in 1998 then again after the sun hill fire in 2002

[@deanmeyer68]

Whoever wrote the script wasn’t sober. June calls in as 639 when sh3 is 643. Conway identifies himself as 54 when Tom Penny is 54.

[@tfairley1187]

You think trudie Goodwin would’ve known her characters call sign by then unless they didn’t realise at the time of editing

[@stewban007]

Conway’s call sign was ‘Sierra Oscar 54’.

[@jordanstinson5791]

Sergeant Cryer did what any authorised firearms officer had to do, if an officer is confronted with an offender who is armed with a firearm or any weapon and is willing to use it against the officer or any of the officer’s colleagues, then the officer has no choice but to shoot to put the offender down. The way Sergeant Cryer aimed for the offender’s upper torso is standard in police training of firearms use to stop an armed offender and the most important thing to remember for officers being trained in firearms is the first shot fired by the officer doesn’t always put the offender down. Until the offender is down on the ground, they’re still a threat, the second or even a third shot might be enough to stop the offender. And the feeling that Sergeant Cryer afterwards is normal for any officer who had to make the decision to use his firearm to stop an offender, no officer goes to work thinking they are going to use their firearm on to stop an offender in the course of their duty.
