New series started channel 5 tonight, now in Northumbria instead of Cheshire - no more Insp Anton! Numpty doing 120 mph in a 50 zone whilst drug driving needs his licence shredded permanently and his car put in the crusher! yikes

Good point, well presented. According to my googlefu, there are no designated motorways in Northumbria, a few A (M) roads but no full motorways. (I stand to be corrected wink )

I was just going to post the same - virtually no motorway, virtually no speeding, if anything just an inferior version of Traffic Cops with the added annoyance of far more recaps and Nicky Campbell's irritating voiceover. Sometimes the dashcam bits are the best parts.

A194 (M) between A1 and A19 is 4 miles
A167 (M) through the centre of Newcastle is about 1.7 miles

Apart from that its A roads

The bloke they caught doing 120-odd seemed quite happy through all of it. The bloke in the upstairs window wasn't.

I think the bloke upstairs can be confidently referred to as trampy chav scum. I am glad they have the subtitles as even for a Geordie it is difficult to understand

I thought there was a lot of fluff and fill, these types of programs are getting a bit tired.

Hence why it suddenly occurred to me that 'streaming' is a con and I braved Facebook to buy a £40 freeview blueray box, I just 'tape' them all now and fast forward like it's 30 years ago.

Trust me, makes Channel 5 much more enjoyable!

Northumbria hasn’t really been a place for over a thousand years. We do still have “Northumbrian” meaning from Northumberland.

I think he should have been arrested and fined for obstruction, if that's possible?

She doesn't do drugs.. tests positive for cocaine.

No idea if he could be arrested. I suspect it would be difficult to justify given he was just gobbing off from the window although I imagine satisfying

insp anton the numpty or a chav doing 120 in a 50 off his tits?

the baby seat stop could have been delt with by just having a word and persuading baby to go in the seat or dad gets a telling off
and the chav fell for the "i've had to drive up 120 to catch you" bks yep perhaps you have but you might have caught me at 100 it would have taken a little longer is the reply to give not admit speeding if you haven't been followed

Caught up earlier today. Not surprised by the gobby tt that had been speeding. Especially when the cop asked him to do a drug test and said that it was similar to the Covid tests we used to have to do. Gobby tts reply sounded something along the lines of "never done one. I don't believe any of that" rolleyes

The chav was the Numpty, not the Insp. wink

Even the repeat of the first episode of the new series was replaced by an old episode. What's goin' on ?

Think they said at start, not programme as advertised.
