Star Cops debuted on BBC2 in 1987, the brainchild of Doctor Who and
Blake's 7 writer Chris Boucher, aimed as a police procedural set in
the new frontier of commercialised space exploration. It's the near
future, and mankind has expanded its presence in space. Maintaining
law and order among this network of space stations, satellites and
moon outposts is the responsibility of the International Space
Police Force, known colloquially as the Star Cops. Their leader is
Commander Nathan Spring. While dealing with crimes including drug
smuggling and murder, the Star Cops find themselves facing a new
and sustained threat. The activist group Mother Earth,
ideologically opposed to humanity's presence in space, has been
quiet for some time. But no longer. The group returns with a
vengeance, prepared it seems to go to any lengths to achieve its
aims. 1.1 One of Our Cops is Missing by Andrew Smith. As
construction of the Vasco da Gama, the largest space station ever
put into orbit, nears completion, Nathan is visited by an old
friend, who asks for his help in tracking down a missing undercover
officer. Meanwhile, Inspector Priya Basu is investigating a
near-fatal spacewalk accident on the space station Rakesh Sharma
that may be no accident at all.1.2 Tranquillity and Other Illusions
by Ian Potter. A murder at the historic scene of the first Apollo
moon landing offers few clues for the Star Cops. Why would anyone
want to kill Philip Hughes, a property entrepreneur? And what has
become of the mysterious woman who was with him at the time? The
investigation leads to a moon outpost, where anyone may be the
killer. 1.3 Lockdown by Christopher Hatherall. Tech Tower is a
state of the art, high - security, high-technology building located
in Paris. It seems the ideal venue for an international conference
on how to counter the growing threat from the Mother Earth group.
Nathan and Priya attend as representatives of space policing. Soon,
they and everyone else in the building find themselves in danger as
a disruptive attack by Mother Earth coincides with a plot by
criminals to carry out a high stakes robbery. 1.4 The Thousand Ton
Bomb by Guy Adams. A failed bombing of Moonbase provides the Star
Cops with an opportunity to strike back at Mother Earth. Paul
Bailey is called on to use his undercover skills once more. But
Mother Earth is about to escalate its campaign of violence with a
spectacular attack. And the Star Cops are among those in the firing
line. The series hero Nathan Spring is played by David Calder, one
of Britain's most regarded stage and screen actors. He is joined by
several new characters created for these fresh Star Cops
adventures, with Priya Basu played by Eastenders regular Rakhee
Thakrar. CAST: David Calder (Nathan Spring / Box), Trevor Cooper
