10 "The Old School Tie" ), and a dead dog. In a promotional video called 'Number' made for UK Premium Bonds, where both Dennis Waterman and Glynn Edwards reprise their roles as Terry McCann and Dave 'the barman', Dave is referred to as 'Mr Edwards' and not Harris. Police adversaries Given the nature of Arthur's activities and Terry's criminal past, they were always in the spotlight of the local police and crossed paths with several regular and occasional characters: DS Albert Chisholm; Detective Sergeant Albert "Cheerful Charlie" Chisholm (played by Patrick Malahide) made a brief appearance in the first episode and appeared in another 23 episodes in the first six series. Chisholm frequently arrested Arthur, but was not clever enough to make charges stick. Beginning in Series 3 he was accompanied by: DC/DS "Taff" Jones; (played by Meic Povey), a Welshman. Although not seeming particularly bright on first sight, Jones often proved mildly sharper than his superior, and was quietly amused by Arthur's frequent humiliation of Chisholm, even occasionally going into the Winchester for a social drink, away from Chisholm's domination. He tolerated the put-downs of his senior officer with "Celtic willpower and a morbid fear of unemployment". Jones was promoted to Detective Sergeant in Series 7, with DC MacDonald (Robin Cameron) as his assistant. DC/DS Ronald Rycott; Detective Constable Ronald "Kenny" Rycott (played by Peter Childs) made his first appearance in Episode 3, "The Smaller They Are". Rycott previously had a "spot of bother", which prevented him from rising through the ranks, although he later became a detective sergeant.

Rycott appeared in another 14 episodes up to the end of Series 7. His regular assistant was: DC Melish; (Michael Troughton). DC Melish was, like DC Jones, mainly amused at Arthur's activities. Many episodes in the first seven series featured either Chisholm and Jones or Rycott and Mellish, and the two pairs sometimes appeared together, emphasising the professional rivalry between them, much to the annoyance of their superior officer, Detective (Chief) Inspector Norton (Tony Caunter). This rivalry reached fever pitch in the episode "Around the Corner" (which closed Series 5) when all four officers, in two cars, crashed head-on while attempting to arrest Arthur and
