Shark in the Park - Lamb to the Slaughter (Series One, Episode Three)

The role of women in a traditionally male-dominated profession is highlighted in this episode of Wellington police drama Shark in the Park. New arrival 'Wally' (Jo Briant) faces a baptism of fire from her colleagues — and a rough ride on the streets, as a drunken couple's antics escalate into major problems for the thin blue line. This episode from early in season one also features Robyn Malcolm in her first screen role, as a young woman wanting to join the police to annoy her father. Mark Wright provides some late 80s colour as an inebriated yuppie. The episode was penned by Norelle Scott and directed by Ginette McDonald.
