By this time the era of the all filmed episodes was over. We are back to the police station scenes in Dock Green. All the interior scenes are shot in video.
The exterior scenes are on 16mm film. Video cameras were still too cumbersome for outdoor location shooting.
The return of the police station scenes might have been due to budget cuts. Also to accommodate Jack Warner's age and health.
The police receive an urgent phone call. A small girl tells them that her mother has had an accident and she then puts the phone down.
Sergeant Dixon is sure that the child might be in danger and her mother has been attacked. Without a phone trace. They only have got the background noise to pinpoint the location.
A sound expert is brought in. They could hear a ship's horn and later the noise of a printing machine.
The story is reminiscent of these weekly American cop shows. The story where the police need to find a place solely in the background sounds and it is a race against time.
Although this story morphs into the issue of domestic violence. The injured woman was avoiding her husband. That too goes to the roots of Dixon of Dock Green under creator Ted Willis. Where it would often deal with social issues.
