Inside Story: Z Charlie Four

on BBC Two England

The sixth of seven programmes
Two mobile Task Force constables cruise around Blackpool watching and waiting and ready to pounce. Their call-sign is 'Z Charlie Four'. It is July - the height of the holiday season. The factories of the North have closed down for the Wakes Week break - and the town is packed with holidaymakers intent on fun, mischief, mayhem or worse.
Waiting for the troublemakers are Bernard Carter and George Heywood of the Lancashire Police, and in this frank documentary film about the real Z Cars, there is plenty of trouble. Drunks, gangs, car-thieves, burglars, thugs and hoodlums - all are grist to the mill of the two men who answer the call 'Z Charlie Four'.
