The Cops is a British television police procedural drama series created by Jimmy Gardner, Robert Jones, and Anita J. Pandolfo, that first broadcast on BBC Two on 19 October 1998. Produced by World Productions, the series follows the lives of one shift of uniform officers based at Christie Road Police Station in the fictional town of Stanton, Greater Manchester. Billed as another attempt by the BBC to rival The Bill, the series was notable for its documentary-style camerawork and uncompromising portrayal of the police force. Although the series featured a number of notable actors across three series, Katy Cavanagh, Rob Dixon, and John Henshaw remained as the principal cast throughout.

  • The Cops was een Britse politieserie opgenomen tussen 1998 en 2000 met 24 afleveringen. De gebeurtenissen speelden zich af in de gefingeerde stad Stanton in Noord-Engeland. De serie werd bekend om zijn documentairestijl, camerawerk en compromisloos beeld van de politie. De eerste serie was zo controversieel in zijn weergave van de politie dat het politie-advies werd ingetrokken voor de tweede serie. Het programma won de British Academy Television Awards (BAFTAs) in de categorie Beste Dramaserie in zowel 1999 als 2000, en werd een derde keer genomineerd in 2001. (nl)
