A BBC Radio 4 full-cast drama starring Derek Martin.

Jack Frost is disheveled, disorganised and disrespectful. His superiors resent him, because has a habit of doing things his way – and getting results.

A multiple rapist strikes again, a teenager goes missing, there's a robbery at the Purple Parrot nightclub, and a hit-and-run leaves an elderly man severely injured.

With all this on his plate, Frost has little time and less patience for paperwork – but if he doesn't submit the overtime reports, there will be hell to pay.

Has Frost bitten off more than he can chew?

This gritty drama, first broadcast on Radio 4 in 1982, features Derek Martin as Jack Frost, with a supporting cast including Haydn Wood, Stephen Thorne and Alan Dudley.
