Plot Summary
A gritty tale of conflict, prejudice and humour set in a small dark, filthy, testosterone filled bait room in a Police station where the graveyard shift rest and eat during the middle of the night. Set in Newcastle upon Tyne 1970. Health and safety, political correctness? Forget it! This is 1970 when cops roamed the streets and endeavoured to protect the public. No radios, pepper sprays or stab proof vests then, they just got on with it unsupported, bare against the underworld. A microcosm of social attitudes then. This small dark, filthy room was their safe haven, where bait was consumed in the dead of night and the mask of respectability dropped, conflict could grow, but always underpinned by a rich vein of black humour, cementing them as a team. Bait Room is surreal, funny and touching. But most of all makes us wonder, what happened to the real Bobby on the beat?
