Softly, Softly: Take Them in Singles

on BBC One London

by Robert Barr
[Starring] Stratford Johns as Det. Chief Supt. Barlow, Frank Windsor as Det. Chief Insp. Watt, Philip Brack as Det. Insp. Cook, Norman Bowler as Det.-Sgt. Hawkins,
Dan Meaden as Det.-Con. Box

"I've always liked that old story of George Hirst," says Barlow, but is a cricketing anecdote a sound basis of policy for rounding up a gang of criminals? Watt doesn't think so. And Hawkins, working on an undercover job as a lorry driver at some risk to himself, has personal reasons for questioning Mr. Barlow's 'singles' policy.
