Burning The Books is the 9th episode of The Bill. The CID are on the trail of a thug who has stolen a briefcase from a car. The theft leads them to an old adversary of Galloway's.
Plot[]
After a briefcase is found by a young car thief, Det. Insp. Galloway thinks he can finally nick the 'Arthur Daley' of Sun Hill. Because of car problems he is unable to interview his chief suspect. After a warehouse fire that is supposed to convince Galloway the porn magazines were destroyed, they arrive back at the station just as the van carrying them drives away — having been parked at the back entrance for 24 hours.
