TRIGGER WARNING - The podcast series "The Old Bill," from Fast Theatre.

The show is a period drama/comedy show set in the early 1980s. The language and situations are authentic for the time. Episodes may contain violence, bullying, sexism, and extreme negative and abusive dialogue.

This series is a true depiction of the language, situations, and attitudes in London at the time. We want to keep it as realistic as possible.

Some things in the show may be shocking and stressful, and a possible trigger for the modern audience.

Like real life. Not everyone is good. People are not superheroes.

If you are, or have ever been offended by anything. No matter how small. Please do not listen. This is not for you.

If you like the style of classic British TV shows like, Minder, The Sweeney, and The Professionals. And the comedy of shows like Fools and Horses, On The Buses, Carry On, and Fawlty Towers. Or you like period entertainment before mobile phones, the internet, or Twitter wars.

The Old Bill may be something you will enjoy.

Or not?

If you have any complaints, you didn't read the warning properly.

Mick can't remember how he got there, so he and Bomber unwind the events of the evening.

A girl is dead back in LA. The cops are after Mick. Bomber ditched their plane and drove instead.

They make plans with dodgy dealer Del, and then everything unwinds.

The conversation moves away from recent events to the past.

Mick talks about the old days and how they met. How Bomber has always had his back.

Bomber goes down a darker path and tells Mick some home truths.

Mick gets worried. Bomber's behaviour becomes threatening.

They stop in the desert. Mick's manager calls Bomber, but he is too impatient and fired up to speak with him.

Will Bomber do something he will live to regret?
