The name is Thelma.

Care to help a lady

enjoy her winnings?

The daring daylight robbery

took place here...

...outside Henleaze Mutual

Building Society...

...at just after nine-thirty

this morning.

Police are still investigating

all possibilities at this stage.

And talking to several members

of the public...

...as well as bank staff.

That means they don't know

who did it.

Whoever done it,

good on 'em, I say.

Time someone struck back.

Poppyc..k, it's theft,

you quiffy pillock.

What do you think they done to me?

All them fools in pinstripes

drinking champers...

...hile Shirl and me haven't got

a pot to pee in.

Well, what about the guard

that was hurt?

Your Byron did a stint in security,

what if it had been him?

That bloke weren't badly injured.

They say he just got a broken nose.

You ever had a broken nose?

It bloody hurts.

And there was me and Larry.

Happy as two peas in a pod.

And the poor man has

an unexpected heart attack.

How unexpected?

Let's just say...

...I had time to get dressed

before the ambulance arrive.

His soul rest in peace.

I'm glad he died contented.

Must be very tough.

How many months has it been

since he passed?

Months?

It's been weeks, girlfriend.

And, no disrespect to Larry...

...I'm getting tired of feeling

lonely.

Weeks.

Sometimes a girl just needs

her coconuts.

Anyway, some plucky b....r

got away with...

...seventy-five grand of

the banks money.

Time they knew what it felt like.

-How much?

-Seventy-five grand, they said.

Mark you, it weren't too much

good for him...

...not if they set off

the dye canisters.

What dye canisters?

Our Byron says most crims try to

hack into the security cases...

...and that sets them off.

Covers them and the cash

in blue dye.

If me wigs not on back to front

by the time we're through...

...I want me money back!

Listen, ladies...

...if you ever feel the need

to give yourself a little boost...

...and your fella's

having a quiet spell...

...then all you need

is some play t'ings.

What's play t'ings?

I ain't carrying nothing.

You searched me already.

I ain't carrying nothing.

Once again it's,

I'm not carrying anything.

Search him again, Cully.

You may have missed something.

Will do, Chief.

No-one saw it?

Outside the building society?

-How much?

-No, thanks.

Seventy-five they're claiming.

Hang on.

Someone holds up a security van,

without a gun...

...and makes off

with seventy-five grand...

...and nobody sees them at it?

Is the whole bloody town asleep?

What's the description?

There isn't one. Nobody saw it.

No witnesses?

But the security guards

must have seen them?

-Seen who?

-Apparently not.

One knocked out cold, the other
