''Police Stop!'' is a British TV series, narrated by Graham Cole (who portrayed PC Tony Stamp in ''[[The Bill]]'').
It lasted from 1994 until 2002, and originally began on video in 1993, before becoming a TV series on Sky One from 1996 onwards, with ''Police Stop! 5''.
The show was the forerunner of ''[[Police, Camera, Action!]]'' but, ironically, its [[Companion Show]] [[Long Runners|outlived it]].
It stopped airing in 2002, and hopes of a [[Revival]] continue.

* [[Absurdity Ascendant]]
* [[An Aesop]]: This show has some of them, mainly in the non-police pursuit footage.
* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: ''Police Stop! America'' (which is [[Discontinuity|outside the main show's continuity]] and ''Police Stop! 11'' from 2002, which used the same format as ''Police Stop! 1'' to ''Police Stop! 10'', except it was an all-American special.
* [[BLAM Episode]]: Two episodes of this kind exist in the series, namely ''Police Stop! 3'', ''Police Stop! 4'' and ''Police Stop! America'' (the last one being totally [[Discontinuity|out of continuity]])
Line 25:
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: In [[The Nineties]], there were VHS tapes of ''Police Stop!'', ''Police Stop! 2'', ''Police Stop! 3'', ''Police Stop! 4'', ''The Worst Of Police Stop!'' and ''Police Stop! America''. Since then, no VHS, or DVDs have ever been released (when it became a TV series as of 1996, with ''Police Stop! 5''). Despite this, [[Digital Piracy Is Evil|people can download episodes from torrents]].
** Not so good for people who want to buy a legitimate copy of the episodes.
** People still want them, just like you can buy ''[[Doctor Who]]'' on DVD, but in full unedited form.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: This show does it as often as any other one, particularly ''[[CSI]]''.
* [[Missing Episode]]: ''Police Stop! 11'' and ''The Worst of Police Stop!'', which many fans are annoyed about.
