Not quite police interceptors, but an insight into the work my colleagues and I do. Filmed here in the north west where I'm based, unfortunately, you won't see me! laugh

It may be the way it's edited but it does'nt show you in a good light.

I don't think there was enough "action" I think the show dumbed down a lot of what we do to the detriment of the organisation. We got emailed the viewing figures earlier, over 1.1m tuned into watch it. I just hope it gets better.

I watched it and thought it was quite good.

I don't know the circumstances, but i was surprised that there seemed to be a lot of people standing on the hard shoulder when at least they should be behind the armco. Having said that the motorway cops show is the same .My experience is that of a hgv fitter attending breakdowns. However the course i was on was 10 years ago, maybe methods have changed.

Cringed at the O.T.T. reaction when the Mini 'nearly hit one of my colleagues '.

No it didn't nearly hit anybody.

I "nearly" did myself an injury running up an embankment to get away from a wagon when it jack knifed on a hoar frost and came sliding sideways across all 3 lanes straight at me! yikes
