I've just been looking at the TV listings for Christmas and I noticed
that there's a comedy drama about cycling police officers on ITV1 at
21:00 on 04/01/08.

"It is about policemen who are shunted off to this squad because
basically they are not very good as policemen,"- so it's purpose is to
laugh at people on bicycles coz they're going to be presented as
second rate ... sounds really funny - could possibly be improved by
having clarkson as a super hero solving all the real crimes & getting
the date with the sexy petrol station assistant at the end

Or possibly the happy ending is when the plods
on bikes solve a crime, and are rewarded by...

.... being put on lurvely car patrol.

The write-up I read suggested that they come to appreciate the benefits
of cycling and will probably end up having the last laugh. That sounds
worth watching to me.

Well Im looking forward to it seen as theyve used a lot of kit from
our company who supply the Police with all the clothing and equipment.
From the gloves, jackets and equipment carriers to the bikes and
helmets. Should be a bit of good advertising to get more on their
bike.
www.kitinfo.co.uk if theres any policeman wanting to get on your bike?
