    Foxhole on the Roof

    A nicely constructed episode even though it has few flaws.

    Roddy Barker is a newly released convict but he has been planning a devious big job. From a high vantage point and barricaded in, he shoots at the doctors and nurses in the hospital post operation ward.

    With ill patients left on their own, Barker demands a ransom of £1 million and he also has a hostage called Stacey.

    However Stacey is actually a man and he is Barker's accomplice.

    Cowley is stumped, the police and CI5 operatives cannot shoot at Barker and they cannot use any other force as he has a hostage.

    Only Bodie as a plan as he takes colleague Murphy to climb a high tower.

    A tense opening episode, it is nice to see a cunning plan. There is a lot of action and it looks like an expensive opening episode.

    After a somewhat uneven fourth series, this one is much better.

      Banknotes weigh 1 gram apiece. 1 million pounds in denominations no larger than tens would therefore weigh 100 kg minimum. A strong person could lift this but no way sling it around like they do in its case.
