==From the teacher's notes==
"Teachers may find it helpful to invite a member of the police to view the programme with the class and join in discussion afterwards." - Scene teacher's notes spring 1972 p.14
A quotation from a police officer speaking in the programme (and a spoiler for the ending of Bank Holiday): "'One of the most important things about police work is common-sense. The police in 'Bank Holiday' certainly didn't use theirs. No PC is going to turn round and say 'git'... it would be done in a more friendly way - 'in the morning pack it up and go on your way to another camp site.' If you're going to search, you ask. We may have the right to search but 99% of the time we will ask.'" - Scene teacher's notes spring 1973 p.6.
