By Joshua Robinson – 

On Wednesday 24th April, Ben Lamb, author of You’re Nicked: Investigating British Television Police Series, analyses the television genre, from Dixon of Dock Green to Happy Valley via The Sweeney, The Bill, Cracker, and Line of Duty.

Ben explores how the representation of the police station, domestic scenes of criminals, and the private lives of police officials can unearth the complex ideology underpinning each series and determine how the genre has developed alongside modern British society.  

This event is ideal for TV crime-drama enthusiasts, as well as scholars and students of British history, television, culture, sociology, and criminology.
