Police Stop!: Difference between revisions

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''.

 

 

It stopped airing in 2002, and hopes of a [[Revival]] continue.

* [[British Series]] : Well, for the first two episodes and ''Police Stop! 4'', but in ''Police Stop! 3'' and from ''Police Stop! 5'' onwards, footage was increasingly sourced from outside the United Kingdom, mainly in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands, the United States, Canada and Hong Kong.

* [[Canada, Eh?]]: From 1996 onwards in ''Police Stop! 5'' (Highway 427 is the automotive [[Trope Codifier]] for the road equivalent of this trope!)

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Some episodes' narration falls into this at times, especially in ''Police Stop! 9'', which has this quote about horses on motorways:

{{quote| Long ago, these guys were the business... Nowadays, if you don't drink diesel, you can't compete...}}

* [[Edited for Syndication]]: '''Two''' cuts of ''Police Stop!'', ''Police Stop! 2'', ''Police Stop! 3'' '''and''' ''Police Stop! 4'' exist; the master ones are, rarely, if ever shown. Not done for censorship purposes, as [[The Other Wiki]] will tell you.

* [[Edutainment Show]]: However, [[Your Mileage May Vary|this is debatable]].

* [[Franchise Zombie]]: Moved to television in 1996 with ''Police Stop! 5''

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Shown uncut in daytime hours (almost!). But this is unintentional.
