Barry The Burglar

I don't watch much TV or listen to much Radio but, on a weekday, I like to listen to the 6 O'clock News and then the 6:30 comedy on Radio 4 (if it's any good). Tonight was a programme I hadn't heard before but is being re-run. It's A Fair Cop series 3 from 2017 is being repeated.

"Serving police officer and stand-up comic Alfie Moore returns with a new series of this hugely popular series in which he asks his audience what decisions they'd have made in a real life case that he has dealt with. After swearing in his audience as police officers for one day only, he takes them through one case as it unfolded and asks them what they'd have done in his shoes. Along the way he spills the beans on what it's really like to be one of Britain's finest, tells us some great anecdotes about law breakers and makers that he's come across and gets his studio audience to divulge secrets about their own, sometimes less than strictly law-abiding lives."

Tonight's episode featured "Barry the Burglar".

"In this first episode, Barry the Burglar, what seems like an open and shut case of breaking, entering and stealing becomes something else entirely."

It was hilarious. I'll definitely be tuning in on Tuesdays for the next few weeks.  You can hear it here for the next 4 weeks.
