Sorry Pigeon I missed the capital 'L' in the thread title.

Yes, it is the Life on Mars behind the scenes thingy!

Copied from online TV guide:

A look at the reality behind the hit series Life on Mars and the origins of DCI Gene Hunt, talking with writers, academics, criminals and former police to discover the truth behind Seventies policing. Plus, the television and film precedents for the character, from Fabian of Scotland Yard to The Sweeney. Part of Britcop season.

Bump.

Opening lines " Don't move your surrounded by armed bds"

And yes it was Gene that said it.
