Commentary:
'Sergeant Edward Giffin, is a circumspect man - taciturn and
of a guarded disposition.
'Interview clip:
Timecode: 09:02:13'
Interviewer: How do you get on with Scale 1?
Giffin: Ups and downs at first, you know. Found the lads a little
bit difficult initially.
Interviewer: Why was that, do you think?
Giffin: (Pause) Well, they seemed to take exception to the fact
that I'm from the south.
'Commentary:'Sergeant Giffin was brought in when his predecessor,
the long-serving and popular Sergeant Poole, died on the job.
'Giffin Interview:
Timecode: 09:04:12
'I thought taking over from a police sergeant who'd been here
for a number of years would present some difficulties. I was
right in assuming that. But I didn't expect quite so much hostility.
Things settled down in the end though.'

'Well, it's like everything really. (Pause) There's good and
bad with everything. You get some who are a bit gungho, and
some who are decent chaps. Any walk of life has that sort of
mix. The police force is no different. You get good coppers.
You get bad coppers. You get bad butchers, you get good butchers.
But I can tell a good copper when I see one.'

Interview
Giffin:
Timecode: 09:30:39
'CID come from a promotional background. And they're going around
in their Armani and flash cars. I think they see themselves
as a bit of a Steve McQueen job, you know. They're not all like
that, but there are one or two who are. Think they're more important
than they really are.'
Commentary:
'Sergeant Giffin knows what's important when he sees it.'
