Bruce makes the whoop-whoop noise. Simon flexes his knees.
Even if we never engage with the Police personally, we see their exploits and results in the news and all over TV in fiction. And we inevitably hear their sirens when going about our business. This episode is all about the boys and girls in blue (or black these days), their history and their time travelling boxes.
