X Cars 8.30pm BBC1
A car is stolen every second in Britain, but the car criminal is up against some tough opposition in the form of Manchester's Tactical Vehicle Crime Unit of X Department. In the course of a night's work they may have to deal with a variety of criminal activity. Equipped with video-recorders to provide evidence of their pursuits, the police cars target particular areas of the city known for this sort of crime.
Tonight, Officers Steve Mann and Paul Philbin spot a stolen Sierra and set off in pursuit. The driver decides his best course of action is to ram the police car, something of an occupational hazard. It is a typical case of joyriding, although as Paul explains: "There's not much joy involved for anyone."
