Bombay Blue

Series 1 Episode 1
First Broadcast: Sat 4 October 1997

The Glasgow police are on the trail of a number of local dealers in the city when a lucky break in their investigation in Easterhouse gives them a direct lead to the big time suppliers based in Bombay.

Faced with the possibility of catching the drug barons who are supplying much of the city's heroin, the Glasgow police call in London drug squad chief, Superintendent John Mayberry. For Mayberry this offers the chance for a career defining move and he is keen for some additional help in securing his future. Seeing an Indian face among the local police he assumes, quite wrongly as it turns out, that DC Dev will be at home in the sub-continent and able to offer some invaluable assistance in finding the drug dealers.

Arriving into the mayhem of Bombay, Dev and Mayberry soon realise that their investigation will not be as smooth as either of them had hoped. The corrupt senior police officer assigned to help them, Commissioner Singh, is quick to offer his assurances of help but ensures that their search swings between chaos and inaction while he suppresses any criminating evidence of his own shady participation in local activities.
