The Bill (1984)

Episode Overview

PC Jim Carver is back on the job after completing his treatment for alcoholism. However, his first assignment has him teamed up with PC Dale Smith, and it quickly leads them into a case involving alcohol. Initially responding to what seems like a racially motivated attack at a post office, Carver discovers a scheme to sell large quantities of illegally imported alcohol to off-licenses. With Smith and much of the team doubting his abilities, Carver faces setbacks, including a Customs raid on an off-license that turns out to be vacant. Determined, he sets off on his bike to track down the mastermind behind the operation.
