Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Police Camera Action! is an ITV Genre-Busting Edutainment Documentary Gearhead Show series that started airing in November 1994 and continues to the present day. The show depicts police video footage of bad driving and road crime. 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 Television, but Optomen now hold international production and distribution rights, plus the Copyright to the show.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Missing EpisodesWell, technically, not so much missing episodes in the way Doctor Who has them, but rather rarely-broadcast ones. There are a lot of episodes that don't get broadcast. (See the section below). When they do air them, the episodes are usually cut for timing reasons, or to make room for commercials, and rarely, if ever broadcast in their original form. Only a select few do get aired uncut. Some episodes have footage replaced due to clearance issues concerning the police forces who supply them - obtaining the footage is expensive, and legally it can't be shown for entertainment purposes (which is why the show needs to have An Aesop every episode, because this show is a semi-educational show, not an entertainment one).DVD versionsThere was a vogue in The '90s for police camera car shows on VHS; namely Police Stop! between 1994 and 1995 on VHS, before it became a fully-blown TV show in 1996.

Anachronic Order: Happens a few times: Season 1 in 1995 actually is out of order in terms of timeline; "Tales of the Unexpected" happens before International and Helicops. Season 5 has "The Wild Side" aired after "When Did You Last See Your Motor?", but chronologically, "Enough's Enough" is set before those two, and then A Lorry Load Of Trouble happens just after When Did You Last See Your Motor, and then Don't Look Back In Anger (which is set in Season 4).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
