My two boys, 10 and 7 are desperate to watch some sort of Road Wars esque police TV show.

Are there any that might be suitable for viewing at their age? Trying to avoid some of the heavier themes and just get to the police car chases bit.

Police Interceptors? They've got it all on the My 5 app, from memory it's basically the same as Road Wars.

What about good old fashioned CHiPs?

"Attention all units.....CHiPs will return in a moment"

Or is that not cool enough?

Thanks for the replies, so difficult to check what they are watching. They wanted to watch a documentary about rogue police the other day, cursory check shows it a PG, turns out it's all about David Carrick and what he got up to.

When I was their age we used to sing "Bad boys, bad boys watcha gonna do? Watcha gonna do when they come for you?" in the playground.

IIRC Cops used to be on Sky One 9pm on a Saturday night?

Just sayin'. No way am I being critical of OP as a parent.

Happy for them to watch some Police chase some bad guys, less happy when they're asking me questions like...

"Daddy, what is grooming / r*pe / heroin?" etc.
