Rockliffe's Babies

- Season 1

(1987)

A hooded prowler, an armed robbery, a mugging on the notorious Dragon Estate - it's a busy week for the young plain-clothes PCs of Sergeant Rockcliffe's Crime Squad. PC O'Dowd ,however is in more serious trouble; will the oil-rich Sonia Souhami come to his rescue?

A murder has been committed, and Rockcliffe is given the name of a suspect that revives old and bitter memories. But is it fifteen years too late to do any good.

Rockliffe complains about the workload. There are drug dealers, muggers, rapists, murderers, thieves and con-men. What could turn up next?

"This bloke's son is 13 , has an assessed age of 6, goes 11 stones on the scales and is a friend to every stranger he meets. What do you want me to do? Let him find his own way home in the cause of race relations?"

Sergeant Rockliffe thinks that PC Paul Georgiou is lazy. Why has Georgiou roused himself and acquired an informant-and a dodgy one at that?

There's a tense situation in the black community. A man has died after using a deadly drug- in police custody. Rockliffe and Flight think they know who the dealer is, but if they act will there be worse trouble?

The immediate consequences of Georgiou going off to buy saveloy and chips are quite painful. But what arises for Rockliffe and the Crime Squad as a result of his hunger pangs?

Rockliffe is surprised to learn that some members of the squad find him unapproachable. Doesn't he always come to their aid when they need him? And that's just what he has to do when Adams decides to go out on a limb.
