Company

DI Beach is in charge of a group of hopeless undercover police officers hot on the trail of major villain Smiler McCarthy.

The team includes Beach's right-hand man DS Ray Ash, who basically thinks his boss is marvellous; Dominic de Sade and his hopeless armed response team; Bones from Drug Squad, a short guy with a fiery temper; Strings from Drug Squad who fancies himself as a member of The Rolling Stones; Gary Barwick, a deep undercover copper; Mark Kemp a newly qualified copper fresh from Hendon; and DI Beech's first choice officer (who just happens to be the Commissioner's nephew), Kim Finch from Vice Squad. There's also Roy Leyton, an accountant who's secretly fiddling the accounts.
