- Prying Eyes
E1Prying EyesThe traffic cops in Cardiff get a little help from snoopers trying to call time on a suspected drink-driver, but it's the Rolling Stone lookalike motorist who gets the last laugh. Elsewhere in South Wales there are prying eyes of a different kind, CCTV cameras, which see lawbreakers at work. - Close Encounters
E2Close EncountersBeing a traffic cop often calls for patience and a sense of humour. On a dark and foggy night, crime-fighting duo 'Buzz' Lightfield and Darryl Hanks are on a special mission hunting for criminals in the remote countryside on the border between England and Wales. After some amusing close encounters, they finally catch sight of their prey. - A Nose for Trouble
E3A Nose for TroubleWhen a man driving a large 4x4 is spotted on his mobile phone by the traffic cops, he refuses to pull over and instead leads them on a hair-raising pursuit through the backstreets of Swansea that ends in a nightmare. It is a case of road rage unlike any other, during which the pursuing patrol car is crushed and its driver lucky to escape with his life. - Lost and Found
E4Lost and FoundThe traffic police in Sussex have an abundance of new technology at their fingertips but when a van is stolen from right outside its owner's house, the cops have to draw on all their old fashioned driving skills. Plus, while two ladies lost in a 'pea souper' in Pease Pottage call the cops for help, a suspicious object has been found in Horsham High Street, which could be a threat to national security. - Crossing the Line
E5Crossing the LineBattle lines have been drawn up again in Hastings; Sussex's traffic cops are hot on the trail of one of Britain's youngest ever car criminals as he leads them on a chase around town, and they're met with hostility when they clamp down on motorists who think they are above the law. - Moment of Madness
E6Moment of MadnessIt's a case of only fools and horses for Sussex's traffic cops when a motorist crashes into a rare American 'muscle' car and runs off. In another moment of madness, a fire in a field gets set in a pattern of a swastika. Meanwhile, a lorry load of thoroughbreds is stuck on the highway. - Cat and Mouse
E7Cat and MouseA dangerous police chase through the streets of Swansea in the middle of the afternoon ends in carnage; to the surprise of the traffic cops the driver pulled out of the wreckage of the crashed stolen car is a woman. Meanwhile, a game of cat and mouse ensues in the Welsh valleys, with PC Stanley Baxter having to break down community barriers - and break down doors - in search of his elusive prey. - Age Old Problem
E8Age Old ProblemTraffic police in Sussex have to catch a lorry driver whose dangerous driving has put people's lives at risk on a railway crossing. They are also called to deal with elderly drivers whose standard of driving has left them with the prospect of having their licences taken away, and they encounter a well-known celebrity with a dodgy number plate.
