- Hello, Nicholas.
- Hello, Sergeant.
- How's the hand?
- Still a bit stiff.
It can get awfully hairy out there.
I'm surprised you weren't snapped up
sooner for a nice desk job. That's what I did.
I prefer to think my office is
out on the street.
Indeed, you do.
Your arrest record is 400% higher
than any other officer.
Which is why it's high time
that such skills were put to better use.
- We're making you Sergeant.
- I see.
In Sandford, Gloucestershire.
- In where, sorry?
- In Sandford, Gloucestershire.
- That's in the country.
- Yes, lovely.
Isn't there a Sergeant's position
here in London?
No.
- Can I remain here as a PC?
- No.
- Do I have any choice in this?
- No.
Sergeant, I kind of like it here.
Well, you've always wanted
to transfer to the country.
- In 20 years or so, yes.
- Well done, you.
Hang on, I don't remember telling you that.
Yes, you did. You said,
"I'd love to settle down
in the country sometime, Janine."
I'd like to talk to the Inspector.
You can speak to the Inspector,
but I can promise you
he will tell you
exactly the same thing as I have.
- Hello, Nicholas. How's the hand?
- It's still a bit stiff.
- And how are things at home?
- I'm sorry, sir?
How's Janine?
We're no longer together, sir.
- Right. Then where are you living?
- He's staying at the Section House, sir.
- With the recruits?
- Yes, he's living out of cardboard boxes.
Well, then, you're packed already.
Nicholas, we're offering you a smashing
position with a delightful cottage,
in a lovely little place
that I think has won Village of the Year
I don't know how many times.
It'll be good for you.
- I don't really know what to say.
- Yes?
Yes, thank you.
No, I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to...
- You want to take this higher?
- Yes, yes, I do.
You want me to bother
the Chief Inspector with this?
Yes.
You want me to get the Chief Inspector
to come all the way down here?
- Yes, I do.
- Okay.
Kenneth!
- Hello, Nicholas. How's the hand?
- Still a bit stiff.
- Chief Inspector...
- Keep your seat.
Now, I know what you're going to say,
but the fact is,
you've been making us all look bad.
I'm sorry, sir?
Of course we all appreciate your efforts,
but you've been rather
letting the side down.
It's all about being a team player, Nicholas.
You can't be the Sheriff of London.
If we let you carry on running round town,
you'll continue to be exceptional
and we can't have that.

Summary: As a former London constable, Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.
