Synopsis

Uniformed male and female officers and detectives from Sun Hill police station enforce law and order on a day to day basis. A policeman's job is much more than just catching criminals. In order to survive each day they must deal with frustrating members of the public, and often their own colleagues.
From petty thieves to violent drug dealers, life is never easy for the members of the Metropolitan Police Force.

Gay interest

Scott Neal plays PC Luke Ashton, the baby of the sunhill team. Luke needs to face up to his sexuality - he's getting married to sweet young thing, PC Kerry Young for goodness sake and fighting his desire for his sergeant Craig Gilmore.
Eventually, a kiss with his sergeant makes things clearer, but in denial he decides he will still marry Kerry! Then he ends up in bed with his sergeant on his stag night. Luke eventually transfers from sunhill, and so does sergeant Gilmore, but it is rumoured Luke will soon return to the show.
Scott is known for his role in the film BEAUTIFUL THING, and has played parts in the likes of LONDON'S BURNING, as he clearly loves uniform roles!

Personal review

I loved the "kiss" scene. It was really sensual and loving. The whole storyline was sadening, as the two really loved each other but didn' end up together (sniff, sniff).

Quotes

Sgt. Gilmore: "I'm just looking out for you, Luke."
Luke: "You've been on my back since I transfered back to sunhill."
Sgt. Gilmore: "I wouldn't say that" (seeming distracted)
Luke: "So, you do like me then?" (playfully)
Sgt. Gilmore: (slamming filing cabinet and taking deep breath)
"I like you. I can't take my eyes off of you!"
Luke stares in shock at his sergeant for a second, then moves in and kisses him gently on the lips.
PC Jim Carver: Bradford? She's got about as much community spirit as Adolf Hitler.
[To PC Klein]
Cass Rickman: You look like Dracula with the flu.
DC Mike Dashwood: Anything else?
DI Burnside: Yeah, a garage full of bricks.
DC Mike Dashwood: What kind of bricks?
DI Burnside: The kind the third little pig used to build his house out of. Brick, bricks.
PC Cass Rickman: Smithy thinks the lotus position is having sex in a flash car.
DI Burnside: If you don't keep your eye on the ball, Jesus won't just be your friend he'll be your next door neighbour.
Sgt. Bob Cryer: Never Volunteer; it's an old army saying.
DI Burnside: I'll have to remember that next time I'm in an old army.
Sgt. Matt Boyden: When The Met employed Reg Hollis, they deprived a village of its idiot.
Chief Supt. Charles Brownlow: Did the prisoner hurt himself?
Sgt. Matt Boyden: Unfortunately not sir.
Sgt. Matt Boyden: Let's keep the off air chit-chat off air shall we.
Sgt. June Ackland: Either a freezer's defrosting, or we've got a corpse in there.
Sgt. Alec Peters: Best thing to do is to close your office door.
Chief Insp. Derek Conway: Yeah, and tell the world to Foxtrot Oscar
