Marshall Lancaster: Chris Skelton

Quotes 

• DS Chris Skelton : Bingo! I got one. Martin Ellis, lorry driver. Waiting for a fabrics pick-up at 2:30 this morning. Spotted a thickset man running out of the loom hall.

  Sam Tyler : Good, can I see it?

  [Chris shows Sam a black and white picture with a head which looks like a butternut squash with ears] 

  Sam Tyler : Chris, have you ever seen anybody that looks like that?

  DS Chris Skelton : It's the best we could do.

  Sam Tyler : It's a doddle, then. We're looking for someone with hamster's cheeks, a nose like Audrey Hepburn and two foot of forehead.

• Sam Tyler : The time, Chris?

  DS Chris Skelton : Four-ish.

  Sam Tyler : Precise time.

  DS Chris Skelton : Just after four. Er, five, ten past.

  Sam Tyler : Four-oh-seven.

  [Sam looking his watch finally] 

  DS Chris Skelton : Closer to ten past.

  Sam Tyler : Thank you , DC Skelton.
