Did anyone see this?
I enjoyed it but then I would!
Is it just a mickey take of coppers on bikes or is it good PR for those forces already using bike teams and a tool to get more forces creating bike teams?
Or even good PR for cycling as a whole?
I can afford to talk softly!....................I carry a big stick!

    I watched it this morning, supposed to be a comedy, but i thought apart from a couple of light hearted moments it could be a good series....shame it was a one off.

    slightly ot does anyone remember Pacific Blue?

    I must have been watching something different as I thought it banal and reliant on stereotypes.The laughs(as they were) could have been compressed into a 30 minute slot.I would not even schedule it for kids to watch.
    Mind you its probably no worse than other current comedies.My teenage lads swear by Porridge and Dads Army;they would swear at this tripe! :? :?
