Davyd Harries: D. Supt. Martins

Quotes 

• D.I. Burnside : You're not only gonna take a man away from me for six months, you lose me an entire day's work out of this office, on top of which, I'm liable to have a sectarian conflict on my hands.

  D. Supt. Martins : Well you could have saved it all by recommending me someone.

  D.I. Burnside : Oh yeah? Well what about the ones I don't recommend, how are they gonna react? And all this to get a nice, balanced team together? Well that's what I had here before you walked in.

  D. Supt. Martins : Could I have a look at the arrest rates, please, Frank?

  D.I. Burnside : No you bloody couldn't.

  D. Supt. Martins : Was that "No you bloody couldn't", or "No you bloody couldn't, Sir?"
