A Hanging Job

Don’t kill a copper cos it’s a hanging job.

The British police have never carried guns, and in the days when capital punishment was in force anybody involved in a robbery that resulted in the death of a police officer would be hung regardless of whether they pulled the trigger – there was never a reprieve for cop killers.

It is 1939 and Hitler is about to invade Poland and kick off the Second World War, but Foxy has more important things on his mind. As the getaway driver on bungled bank robbery he is at risk of a formal introduction to the hangman if caught. For Foxy, comedy and tragedy have always gone hand in hand, and this day is no exception as he plays hide and seek with the forces of law and order in the streets of London and the leafy lanes of Hertfordshire, doggedly keeping one step ahead thanks to his driving skills.
