They devised fake scripts which Lyons had to learn at short notice, involving ludicrous situations for Toolan: on one occasion, they made his character wear a neck brace; on another, they made him ferret around in a smelly rubbish bin looking for evidence. Each time, Lyons said "You won't catch me out like that again" but he always fell for the next prank.

(1981) and Pop Larkin in The Darling Buds of May (UK), the producers offered him his first major drama role in a police series, without having a character or setting in mind, and only later decided to dramatise R.D. Wingfield's books.
