  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : [Brian opens a storage locker]  Brian!

  Jack Halford : Well, say what you like about Bob Ruxton, but he never kept you waiting.

  Brian Lane : Aye, he was a good man. Always had time for a chat.

  Gerry Standing : And he always pulled the rounds. The nights I've been on the hit-and-miss with Doc Ruxton...

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : Yeah, well, that kind of behaviour might account for his having been suspended, mightn't it?

  Jack Halford : It's a hard thing for a man to be publicly pilloried after a long and distinguished career.

  Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : He's not being pilloried, Jack. He's facing charges of negligence and incompetence.

  Brian Lane : Nobody's perfect, Sandra.
