Z Charlie Four
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 holiday-makers intent on fun, mischief, mayhem or worse.
Waiting for the troublemakers are BERNARD CARTER and GEORGE HAYWOOD of the Lancashire Police, and in this frank documentary film about the real Z Cars, there is plenty of trouble.
