The policemen based in an isolated country police station do their best to avoid having any involvement with crime and spend their days indulging in dodgy money-making schemes. Their plans to do a little as possible are foiled by the arrival of WPS Penny Pringle, who tries to persuade her colleagues to devote their energies to proper police work.
Features a star role for Bill Owen, a year before he first played the part of Compo in "Last of the Summer Wine".
Broadcast February 17th 1971

Some of these series have just disappeared off the radar. I remember one in a hospital ward with Wilfrid Brambell called 'Never Say Die' (4 of 6 extant, according to Wiki), and Tessie O'Shea had her series 'As Good Cooks Go', which I think was wiped. Of course one was younger then, and perhaps didn't know any better, but at least there were welcome faces in the cast...

It would almost certainly have been in black & white to begin with, the infamous ITV colour strike only ended just over a week before this was broadcast, so it was likely made when said strike was still ongoing.

Looks like videotape to me, too clean to be a telerecording, but it was probably made in black and white to begin with- almost certainly recorded during the infamous ITV Colour strike of 1970-71, which only ended a week or so before this episode was broadcast.

The ITV camera operators were on strike over pay between November 1970 and February 1971. As opposed to not working at all, they refused to work with colour equipment. I can imagine bringing home a new colour telly and being annoyed all new ITV shows were like this!
