Police 2020

[Alberon]

So, one more thing from my old VHS tapes. Since it's almost 2020 I thought I'd put up an ITV 1997 pilot film that never went to series. Created and written by Paul Abbott the film stars Liam Cunningham, now known mostly as Ser Friendzone from Game of Thrones. This is a story about an overwhelmed police force trying to deal with racist violence against Eastern European immigrants.

But of course for all it might get right there's a lot that it doesn't. There are video walls, but they are obviously very 90s, as is the whole look. But you can't really blame this production for that.

It's no Robocop, but it's not total crap.

Plus there's bonus Tom Baker advertising ITV 3 and an advert for Millennium, the other series from the X-Files creator.
