---------------------------------------------------
Charlton's Station Officer, known as Bald Eagle, introduces Josie to the Watch. Josie is acting up as Sub Officer for the shift, as the Sub is off work. The bells interrupt role call, as Bad Eagle is sent on standby to New Cross.
The Watch play a prank on Colin when Malcolm tells him that they have all signed the Official Secrets Act and are working as On Her Majesty's Secret Service! Malcolm begins by asking Colin personal questions, to ensure that he can be trusted as an Official Secret! Malcolm hands Colin a survey metre and tells him that it is his job to measure radioactive activity, out in the yard, each time they have a shift in the morning!
A lorry crashes, which was carrying a load of hot tar, which covers a number of workmen in burning hot tar. Josie's crew are the first to the scene and she is the officer in charge. As Blackwall arrive, Josie gives Malcolm the details and as she continues to take charge of the situation, Tate is very impressed!
As Colin measures radioactive activity in the yard, Malcolm wanders out with a device, which sets it off! Area Commander Bulstrode then arrives and wonders what Colin is doing. Colin half mumbles about what he's doing, but says he can't say much because he doesn't know if Bulstrode has signed the OSA! Bulstrode see's the funny side of it and gets Malcolm to produce an appropriate form for Colin to sign until he gets to sign a proper OSA!
Bulstrode talks to Tate about Colin, where Tate reveals that Colin is a Born Again Christian!
Maggie passes her driving test after the 6TH attempt!
Colin asks George what Tate was like before he got converted, then later asks Tate if he's ever had an out of body experience!
Duffy yet again tries to get Hallam to go out in the evening at the training college, but he won't.
Tony goes to a party looking for a friend, where he bumps into his friend's sister Jenny. Tony reveals that he and Dee had split and Jenny tells Tony that she has jusr opened a new business - selling designer clothes and jewellery. She invites him to the launch party.
Hallam phones Sandra from the training college, where Duffy goes on about a red-head in the background, then he snatches the phone from Hallam. As Hallam retrieves the phone, Sandra leaves the phone off the hook at the other end!
George arranges a car for Maggie, then he goes to look at it. His sister Beattie, tells him that she thinks the car is a wreck and as the group of people stand around, George's young nephew Ritchie drives off in the car!
Maggie likes the sound of the car and Kevin tells her that he will get it through it's MOT. Kevin later poses as an AA man and visits the Car Salesman, telling him that he doesn't think the car is even worth £200!
The car is bought and Kevin and George work on the car in the station yard. Tate is not happy with the wreck being in the yard, but relcutantly agrees to let it stay there but it has to be gone by Monday when A.C.O. Bulstrode and the Lady Mayor are visiting.
A fire errupts through a ship and the engine room is alight. Engineers go down in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but have no luck. The Chief Engineer gets pushed back by the force of the flames.
As the bells go down at Blackwall, Tate has a go at a hyperactive Colin, telling him that he doesn't want to lose anymore members of his crew.
As the Watch arrive on the scene, the Ship's Captain informs Tate that he thinks all of his men are off the ship. Foam is then sent down in the engine room, to extinguish the flames. A man then alerts the captain, telling him that he thinks the Chief Engineer is still down in the engine room!
Malcolm leads a crew down into the foam-filled engine room, with an EVAC as the only form of contact to the outside World.Tony locates the engineer and the crew quickly leave the engine room.
In the evening, Colin takes tea and biscuits to Tate. Tate finally clicks that Colin is not a Born Again Christian, when Colin asks him what it was like when he was converted! Then, as the Watch prepare to say grace at the next meal, Tate is not amused!
Sicknote buys a typewriter, loads of food, t-shirts and merchandise, as well as booking the school hall for a community meeting about saving the city farm!
Josie tells Bayleaf that her attempted rapist has finally been arrested and will be charged, as the rapist is identified by another woman.
On the morning of Bulstrode's and the Lady Mayor's visit, Tate is livid to find the car still in the yard. It looks like White Watch have nicked the wheels, so the car cannot be moved! Bulstrode and the Mayor then arrive and Malcolm tells Bulstrode that the car is used for training exercises! Later, Bulstrode asks for a demonstration, so the roof to Maggie's car is cut off!
Kevin later tells Maggie that White Watch did have the wheels and that Malcolm thought the car would be better as a convertible!
