Discuss and Post your opinions and what you remember about this TV Show. Unfortutaely, it was a very short lived TV show but a good one!
Here's some basic information about this TV Show
Quote:
Star Cops is a British science fiction television series first broadcast on BBC Two in 1987. It was devised by Chris Boucher,.
Set in the year 2027, a time where space travel has become commonplace, it starred David Calder as Nathan Spring, commander of the International Space Police Force – nicknamed the “Star Cops” - who provide law enforcement for the newly developing colonies of the Solar System. The series follows Spring and the rest of his multinational team as they work to establish the Star Cops and solve whatever crimes come their way. Operating in a relatively accurately realised hard SF, near-future, space environment, many of the cases that the Star Cops investigate arise from opportunities for new crimes presented by the technologically advanced future society the series depicts and from the hostile frontier nature of the environment that the Star Cops live in.
In total nine episodes of Star Cops were made. A tenth episode, titled “Death on the Moon”, was planned but industrial relations difficulties during production led to it being abandoned shortly before recording was to commence.
However, the low ratings doomed the show to a single season and, although admired, it has never developed a significant following among science fiction aficionados.
I've seen the first 6 eps at a Dr Who Meeting years ago but the rest I would still like to see sometime. I thought it was quite good. It has never being shown on Australia TV I don't think?
I like the TV Theme and the song! I would like to see more of this show. Has this been on ABC? If so, I missed it. 8)

I don't think Star Cops was ever shown on the ABC or I have missed it also. I originally watched the first 3 eps at a Doctor Who Meeting years ago and kind get hooked. I then managed to get the 2nd Tape of Star Cops and watched 3 more episodes but have never watched the 3 remaining episodes left in the series.
AS Star Cops has been been released on DVD and I can now watch them,all of 9 episodes.
Thanks for that Mr S will check out these DVd's if I can find them here.
