You’re nicked is the first comprehensive study of television
police series in the UK. It reveals how British television’s most
popular genre has developed stylistically, politically and
philosophically from 1955 to the present. Each chapter focuses on a
particular decade, investigating how the most-watched series
represent the inner workings of the police station, the civilian
life of criminals and the private lives of police officers. This
new approach unearths the complex ideology underpinning each series
and discerns the key insights the genre can provide into the
breakdown of the post-war settlement. Offering insightful readings
of police series from Dixon of Dock Green to Happy Valley via The
Sweeney, The Bill and Cracker, the book is a must-read for
crime-drama enthusiasts worldwide. This new paperback edition
features an extensive epilogue on Line of Duty and other Jed
Mercurio creations. -- .
