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. It's been months
since the last attack by Mother Earth, the activist group opposed
to mankind's expansion into space. It's believed that the group is
finished. But instead, Mother Earth is about to renew its campaign.
This time with even more ferocity and violence. 2.1: Dead and
Buried by Guy Adams. At Lunar Interments, the moon's graveyard for
the wealthy, the caretaker has noticed something odd in the burial
records. Odd enough for him to call in the Star Cops. Devis isn't
happy at being assigned to what he thinks is a mundane case. Not
when Nathan and Kenzy are off to investigate a burglary at the home
of billionaire businessman Ben Alexander. A break-in where the
burglar has finished up dead. But in the lunar resting place of the
dead, Devis will find himself racing against the clock to save his
life and hundreds of others. 2.2: The Killing Jar by John Dorney.
The Charlie Chaplin is a second-hand space station operated as a
space-tourism hub by entrepreneur Martin Thane. When Nathan
receives reports that serious accidents and even a death have been
caused by Thane flouting safety laws, he decides to investigate. An
accident investigation soon becomes a murder enquiry. And as the
Star Cops hunt for the killer, the station becomes a death trap
threatening everyone on board. 2.3: Moonshine by Roland Moore. A
friend of Kenzy's on the space station Coral Sea has been dismissed
for possession of alcohol and sent back to Earth. She believes his
claim that he was framed, and when she learns of his subsequent
suicide she and Devis travel to Australia to investigate. A
difficult enquiry is not helped when Kenzy's former fiance, a
Police Superintendent, appears on the scene. On Moonbase, Nathan is
expecting an official visit from a powerful dignitary. So it's not
a good time for there to be a fatal incident that may be the work
of Mother Earth. 2.4: Hostage by Andrew Smith. The Star Cops are
under intense pressure in the face of continuing Mother Earth
attacks. The very existence of the International Space Police Force
is in jeopardy. Kenzy and Priya are responding to a murderous
Mother Earth explosion at a moon outpost when one of the workers,
Mary Ward, takes a hostage and makes demands, accusing others of
trying to kill her. She appears to have snapped under pressure. As
the crisis develops, dangerous secrets are revealed. Secrets that
some will be prepared to kill for. And die for. 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. Several new characters have
been created for these fresh Star Cops adventures, with Priya Basu
played by Eastenders regular Rakhee Thakra. CAST: David Calder
