Weekend in the Country
12 April 2019
Bodie and Doyle are spending a weekend in the country with their girlfriends.

Horses, a rustic farmhouse and then some armed robbers turn up. They were making a getaway from a botched robbery and one of them got wounded.

Bodie and Doyle would love to grapple with the three men but they have several women to protect and a young schoolboy. So they bide their time for the right moment.

One of the robbers has the hots for one of their girlfriends. He keeps making improper advances.

Aid might come from Cowley as he needs to call Bodie and Doyle back but they are not responding.

I thought this episode was lukewarm. It looked like a bottle episode as they are stuck in the farmhouse. Doyle ends up playing a medic to one of the shot robbers. The action bits are left to Cowley.

There are some familiar faces in this episode. Brian Croucher is another of those actors who appeared in many shows in the 1970s and 1980s. Bryan Pringle had a prolific career on tv and film.
