Bravo Two Charlies

New comedy pilot, written by Matt Leys and Martin Trenaman set in the tilted world of north Wales traffic police. Adapted from the successful series on BBC Radio Wales, we meet six officers in three cars who are just trying to get the job done. And, broadly, failing.

PC Dennis Babb, ex-Met, thinks he’s seen it all but hasn’t. He now faces his biggest challenge: spending all day in a car with PC Lee Cushion, a man so naive he’s never thrown a snowball or made an arrest. Sgt Vincent Price, the ‘before’ picture in an anger management advert, shares a car with PC Gavin Howells, very much the ‘after’. PC Penny Nadaraja, the Mancunian Cagney, and PC Grace Bevan, the south Walian Lacey, are best mates who do some light traffic policing on the side. And Sian, the radio despatch op, is engaged to PC Howells and keen on signs saying things like ‘sorry coffee, this is a job for prosecco’.
