"Uniform are called to a brawl at a pub, two local, rival football teams have clashed after a match, star player Jeff Barratt lands up in hospital, after he is assaulted by opposing player Robert Matthews. It's a cracking story, really interesting needle between the footballers, plus there's the all of the politics and Power play happening between the ranks at The Station. Who's game is the real focus? You cannot argue with the acting capabilities of Philip Whitchurch, he really is excellent, it's his abilities that manage to make Cato so loathsome, he gets right under you..."
