    Spot on - totally stole Life on Mars which has to be in the top five.

    If you are including films like Dirty Harry (which I wouldn't put in a top five) then have to have Seven.

    Also where are Z Cars and Softly, Softly, Morse, A Touch of Frost and the sublime Between the Lines.

    WHAT ARE YOU LOT ON - Has to be Regan and Carter - We're the Sweeney and we haven't had our breakfast - get your clothes on your nicked Best British Cops ever!!!!

    Without Reagan there would have been no Gene Hunt. All you youngsters go and treat yourself to The Sweeney Box Set. It is without doubt the best piece of British TV drama ever.
    Superb acting and writing. Feasible story lines, great humour and the best double act since Laural & Hardy.
    It's not even dated as Life on Mars has proved.
  • stonemusestonemuse
    Waking the Dead is top one for me

    Really? : - )

    Got to agree with CAFCBourne, all the coppers from the Wire are great but Jimmy McNulty tops it. How The Wire hasn't become mainstream over here is beyond me.

    was he the infamouse Sgt Rogers? of covered end fame?

    Anyone else know PC Rob?

    Jimmy McNulty by an absolute mile, if anyones started watching the leaked 5th season already.....the bloke is something else entirely, so well written. Bunk Moreland deserves a mention aswell, just for the scene where he burns all his clothes on a one night stand.

    In no particular order:-

    1. George Dixon Dixon of Dock Green (the first of the genre)

    2. Inspector Barlow (Z Cars, Softly, Softly ) pushed the boundaries and paved the way for later programmes

    3. Regan and Carter (Sweeney) Great TV

    4. Gene Hunt (Life on Mars) superb parody

    5. Heartbeat one of the few programmes the whole family can sit and enjoy together
  • mart77mart77
    1. 'Dirty Harry Callaghan

    2. Gene Hunt

    3. D.I. William Edward 'Jack' Frost

    4. 'Dexter' Morgan

    5. Jack Bauer (puts in more than most in a day)

    cheif clancy wiggum gets my vote.

    Chief Wiggum on phone: Uh, Mrs. Simpson, I have some bad news. Your husband was found DOA.
    Marge: Oh my god! He's dead?
    Chief Wiggum: Oh, I'm sorry. He was DUI. I get those two confused. (hangs up phone)
    Woman walks in: My name is Mrs. Phillips. You said my husband was DUI?
    Chief Wiggum: Uh... talk to one of those officers over there. I'm going to lunch.
  • mart77mart77
    good shout on Chief Wiggum PBS.

    Chief Wiggum: I dunno Simpson. How do I know you didn't cut your own breaks?
    Marge: Why would I do that!?
    Chief Wiggum: I dunno.. get some attention from a handsome police officer?
    Marge: That's crazy!

    Sipowitz started in Hill St Blues. NYPD Blue came much later.

    Zed Cars true a classic


    gene Hunt fella is just a rip off of Regan.

    Violence has to be the Shield its why its on so late. Geln Close playing a chief copper for one whole series who gets set up and then sacked.classic.


    Homicide Life on The Streets. wasnt on long but get scripts. From the "murder" wipe board which gets longer and longer to the fuckUps that they make. Dispatcher ltgives them wrong flate number when they are after a cop killer. The make the big 5 copper entry but the guy comes down from the falt above and kills 3 of the 5 injures one so bad he will never work again and shits the last one up so bad he has a breakdown.

    Read the book ChoirBoys funny, very very sad and very horrific.Film was shitte.

    Anyone remember "Rosie"?
  • Bexleyheath_RedBexleyheath_Red
    Guy from wire in the blood is class. Waking the dead is also quality, cant beat the copper from porridge though.
  • LoOkOuTLoOkOuT
    Is Inspector Gadget a copper?
