'Star Cops' was first broadcast on BBC Two in 1987. Devised by Chris Boucher and set in the year 2027, it followed Nathan Spring (David Calder) and his multinational team who formed the International Space Police Force (nicknamed the “Star Cops”). Set in a near-future space environment, and let down by poor scheduling and some internal conflicts, the series was cancelled after one season. However, the show is regularly hailed by fans for its gritty reality in trying to portray an SF-based detective series. SFX magazine described it as “the SF TV show SF writers love. It wasn't perfect but it's as close as TV will ever get to producing proper written SF”.
