It’s a Fair Cop RADIO 4, 11.30AM
The series that allows listeners to imagine themselves as police officer returns. Officer-turned-stand-up Alfie Moore asks the audience how they would have dealt with a real-life case. In this episode, Moore recalls the case of Barry the Burglar, when a seemingly open-and-shut case of breaking and entering became something else entirely. It’s a true insight into life as an officer, complete with anecdotes about lawbreaking scoundrels, and invites us to consider times in which we ourselves may have bent the law a little.
