Take Away

Synopsis: Bodie and Doyle are undercover, Bodie as a down-and-out squatter and Doyle as a barrow boy. Bodie makes contact with the recently released from Borstal boyfriend of an American girl who was killed by a massive drug overdose. When he convinces him to go to Cowley, the ex-con is murdered. Doyle is having a better time. He is living with a female Detective Sergeant from Hong Kong, and true to form his relationship is more than just professional. Doyle is raided by two policemen after his name is found in a diary owned by a chinese drug dealer. It seems that the Chinese are smuggling drugs to the US forces in East Germany via Britain, in order to destabilise the relationships between the US and the UK.
John's notes: If there's a plot to this story, it is inscruitable, rather like the chinese appear to be. Douggie Camfield was a better director than this, but you wouldn't think so watching this. Roger Marshall's writing is dre in this episode. Don't even think about showing it to your friends.
