Operation Good Guys - Series 3, Episode 5 - Jubilee - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

The squad are asked to look after an important family.

Further details

Beach and his men are informed that they are to play host to the most powerful and influential family in Britain. For security reasons they are code-named the Jubilee Family. Beach is determined to make the day a success and perhaps gain an OBE.

The Jubilees arrive at the station and Ray is assigned to look after 'Jubilee 1' who finds him extremely patronising as he makes sure she has a cup of tea and is near the toilet at all times.

'Jubilee 2' enjoys a conversation with de Sade and Bill as they are former marines and he was in the navy.

'Jubilee 3' connects with Beach on a personal level as both men feel their parents have neglected them, which has led to problems later in life.

Bones has been assigned to looking after the car in which he decides to demonstrate some evasive manoeuvres at high speed. This results in him running over the corgis, which Mark has been looking after and had let off the lead for a run.

After the tour of the station, The Jubilees are taken to a typical East End pub, which has been emptied of all the regulars and filled with pearly kings and queens. To add a touch of real authenticity, Beach has brought in a rather put out Patsy Palmer to serve at the bar.

Things go very wrong however when Beach gets drunk on duty and almost ends up assaulting The Jubilees. His chances of an OBE are not looking good.
