    Peter, have you ever considered doing a theatre tour. I'm sure you would be very popular as people are fascinated by true crime. If so, don't miss Exeter out.

      He sounds like (and probably was) a copper like John Thaw from The Sweeney. Too many ciggies, liquid lunches, beating a confession out of suspects in the cell,

    If that was now Peter Bletchley would of been reprimanded for not asking if he was a member of the LGBTAZXEBN And also hurting the man's feelings. And if he gave himself up he would of got 2 Weeks Community service.

    Peter Bleksley is one of those ‘old school’ The Sweeney types of copper - too many ciggies, ignored the rule book as and when, two fingers to the top brass, informal ‘chats’ with suspects in dimly lit cells at night, unrecorded interviews to get a confession and liquid lunches.

      Was it? This story is verified by other police officers (Who have written books about their time:in the Police:-)& they are:Tony Long & Stephen French.
      So you’re saying that this never happened & that this bloke is a liar,etc?
      Armed-Response units didn’t exist in 1985 & Police officers took guns out,like they do today with Tazers.
