There's a brand-new sitcom serial on radio six international! Snatch Squad stars Janice Barnes-Newton as Sgt. Denise Matthews and Clancy McMullen as Olivia Carrington. Olivia is a rather spoiled upper-class young lady who thinks it might be fun to do some work experience with the police. Denise is a hard-skinned policewoman who's seen it all. The two form an unexpected alliance. Cagney & Lacey they aren't, but the ten week series mixes laughter with action. It's written by Jonathan Morgan and produced by Guy Morgan at Soundstage North, the people responsible for Darius Darque, Ottilie Box and Eleanor Wild. The series can be heard every Saturday at 21:30 GMT (9.30pm UK in March, 10.30pm UK from April) and Thursday at 06:30 GMT (7.30pm New Zealand throughout the series which moves to 07:30 GMT in April.)
