They Also Serve
They Also Serve is the 363rd episode of The Bill.
The relief are a reserve unit for a demonstration. It is very boring waiting in a van on waste ground. At a meal break, W.P.C. French, W.P.C. Datta and W.P.C. Ackland find a distressed probationer in the toilets. Tempers are getting strained. An agitated P.C. Young is starting to question why he is still on the job.
On the way back to the station the van is attacked by a gang of youths armed with petrol bombs. All the windows are broken and someone's arm catches fire.
