Not great so far.


Though they never are.

They have recently filmed a show round our parts and you couldn't have got me to be filmed for love nor money.

I've just watched this on +1 and enjoyed it from an outsiders point of view. I suppose serving officers will be more critical but you were new once wink

The pretty one is so out of her depth is funny. No assertiveness at all. Dare I say lived a life that has meant she hasn't ever met undesirables? As above, positive discrimination will see her up the ranks sooner rather than later!

The big guy will probably make it. Seems switched on.

The 19 year old. Wont last. His parents saying "ooh he's got an edge to him" were faintly ridiculous. A stiff breeze would knock him over and he had no real life experience.

Loved the 2 French Bulldogs the other recruit had biggrin


What surprised me was that after the suicide they went to. The recruits were upset, fair enough it's their first experience of that, but their mentor was a bit shell shocked as well. Surely he'd be more blasé about it by now?

Also, the accident where the big fella landed on the other woman police officer. It was an accident and he was devastated obviously, but the wpc was rolling around like she'd been shot and all the wailing. It's a broken leg you fat heffer. Grow up! When they said she might lose her career because of it, I just imagined she'd be well chuffed with the desk job, payoff and early retirement pot...

The trophy you really DON'T want is 'most improved'. That generally means you've gone from crap to just about acceptable 😏
