''[[Police, Camera, Action!]]'' is an [[ITV]] documentary series that started airing in November 1994 and continues to the present day. Originally hosted by Alastair Stewart, Adrian Simpson became co-presenter in 2008, and Gethin Jones presented a special episode in 2008, before doing four [[Very Special Episodes]] in 2011.
 
The show was initially produced by Carlton, but Optomen now hold international production and distribution rights, plus the [[Copyright]] to the show.
Line 18:
 
There '''is''' an argument, however, for releasing this on DVD; given the success of ''[[CSI]]'', ''[[NCIS]]'', ''[[The Wire]]'' on DVD, there is possibly enough Fandom for this to be released.

=== ''Police Camera Action!'' provides examples of: ===
* [[An Aesop]]: The main focus of the 1995-1996 series. Subverted from 1997 onward. However, from 2002 and 2007, the episodes often regained discussion of motoring morals again.
* [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]]: From 2007, Alastair Stewart, and in the 2008 drink-driving [[Very Special Episode]], there would always be some discussion of the moral of the episode.
Line 145 ⟶ 146:
* [[Women Drivers]]: Possibly subverted, since it seems to show them in a non-comedic manner.
* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]
* [[You Fail Geography Forever]]: Some of the 2002 episodes refer to footage set in Greater Manchester as "Lancashire Police". In the background is the M60 motorway, which ''does not'' go anywhere near Lancashire, it is '''only''' in Greater Manchester, so the show failed with geography.
