Mortimer's Patch - Day of Judgement (First Episode)

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1980

I’ve got a lost child, what do you expect me to do? Put an ad in the lost and found column? Get me the Deputy Commissioner ... I don’t care if he’s bloody drinking champagne out of his surgical truss!
– Mortimer (Terence Cooper) gets some vice squad support for the search
We just don’t get those city problems here!
– Mrs Savage (Celia Russ) responds to Mortimer’s questioning
I reckon you should check out that dirty old bloke that lives down by the beach ... he’s a likely candidate — a little European of some sort.
– Mr Savage (Sydney Jackson) reveals his prejudice
