if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

At last I found something the BBC had on that made paying the License Fee worth while, then low & behold after series three we don't get to see anymore..
I don't know who you employ to make these decisions but shame on you getting rid of this..
Only thing worth watching in years , god knows what "Trash" you will be giving us to watch now

The negative of the show is that much of it is predictable. The powerful men have to act macho and the woman is not respected as an equal. The woman has much better instincts as a copper than the men who've been on the police force for years. The worst of the coppers is, predictably, almost a 2-dimensional character, at least through the 2 seasons I've seen so far.The positives include that there are some sensitive male characters who give Gina a chance. The supporting cast is excellent. The plots are interesting and appropriate to the times. And the attention to detail (sexism, racism, brutality, repressed sexuality, clothing, sets, hair styles, makeup, music, dialog) makes me almost believe it really is 1956 on the set.Having lived through the 1950s (age 11 in 1956) I can attest that much of what we see on this show was very much like this. In many work places women were considered to be either eye-candy or efficient old maids who had no life outside of their employment, This continued well into the 60s until the women's movement had some clout. It would have been even more so for Gina who would have been about 10 years older than I was in 1956.Gina's character has to be independent enough to take on a nontraditional job, tough enough to be a cop, yet still have a sensitive side. I think Jennie Jacques manages to pull it off well.

Please can the BBC tell us when season 4 is coming to our screens?This show BELONGS up there with all the other top BBC drama's Holby City, Casualty, Bergerac (when it was around) Happy Valley, Call the Midwife and many others that stand out for me and a lot of other viewers! Why has it not been brought to evening slots? of course we have the advantage of iplayer and catch up, but it's good enough, if not BETTER than some of the programs I have just mentioned above! Why tease us with a re run and not give us any more? Season 3 just got better! and so doesn't make sense to not have a new and/or continuing series! It's the BEST police program on tele right now! and as it's a different era, makes it more appealing.10/10 for me!

As a police officer in the 50's I was interested but disappointed by this new series. Senior police officers do not walk about with their hand in their pockets being churlish to other police officers. Remember most were ex military in the 50's. Those who wore helmets did not wear the chin strap under their chins but resting on them. Whistle chains were always worn, by men, in the top left hand pocket, so they could undo their jackets without undoing their chains. Guns were not that readily available for any PC. Corrupt sergeants existed but not as openly as suggested. The TV series "SCOTT & BAILEY" have most of these things down pat, and the interviewing is well acted. This series is streets ahead of "WPC 56". By the way "PRIME SUSPECT" was also an excellent series. Factual? I don't know, but good entertainment.
