  Danny Rylands interview:
Timecode: 15:03:09
'It's certainly a golden rule in this job: you never have the same day twice. You never have the same shift twice. You never meet the same people. And I like the unpredictability of it…. My ambition is to be happy.'

Commentary:
'Danny Rylands is known amongst his fellow officers for his bluff enthusiasm and hedonistic appetite for life'.

Danny interview:
Timecode: 05:04:40
'I am going out tonight. I've got friends coming up from London so I'm going to have a busy weekend. For which I've managed to wangle some early shifts. Which means I'm going to be burning the candle at both ends. But you've got to be in it to win it.'

'Danny interview:
Timecode: 05:08:19
'I'm single at the moment, but searching. Some of the lads may regard me as a ladies man. Which is probably justified to some extent. But it's only because I haven't found the right one. And when I do, there'll be a change of priority there I suppose. It can be a bit of a meat market'.

Timecode: 05:09:56
'I don't just fancy all women. But I don't constrain myself to say I'm a boobs man, or I'm an arse man or I'm a legs man.'

  Commentary:
'But Danny finds the demands of the job he loves conflict with a serious personal life.'

Danny interview:
Timecode: 05:11:00
'The problem with this job is I like the unpredictability of it, personally. But partners have problems with it - with the hours. They have problems with the fact that I'm going out of the door on a Saturday night to start the night shift. And they're not sure if I'm going to come back again. Neither do I.'

Danny interview:

'Certain women like uniforms. Maybe what they represent. But then you have to realize that some times it's the uniform that they like and not necessarily the man.'

  Commentary:
'Danny sometimes comes across as a lightweight. But he's a popular member of the Scale trusted always to be there for his comrades. His frivolity conceals a deeper understanding of his job.'

Danny interview:
Timecode: 05:19:17
'I enjoy life as much as I can. Unpredictable. It's a job that puts you in the front line. There's an argument to say that to truly enjoy life you have to experience death. And for every "up" there's a "down". So that's what I do at the moment. Keep fit, get out and about, and enjoy my career whilst it's there.'
