In this excerpt from the final episode of backblocks comedy hit Letter to Blanchy, good mates Derek (David McPhail), Barry (Jon Gadsby) and Ray (Peter Rowley) recall their hare-brained schemes and spectacular failures en route to the local police station. There's flashbacks to episodes like The Sweet Smell of Success when their dud race horse won big due to a dodgy dose of 'mother nature', and Jet Boat where Barry's adventure tourism venture went up in smoke. They are greeted by a weary Detective Sergeant Molloy (Ian Watkin) who proposes a surprise solution to the trio's long list of misdemeanors.
It's certainly going to be a tussle for the finish. I hope so anyway...– The race commentator (Keith Haube) despairs at a most unusual harness race
