Star Cops, a thrilling television series that debuted on BBC2 in 1987, was the brainchild of Doctor Who and Blake's 7 writer Chris Boucher. Set in the exciting world of commercialized space exploration, the show follows the adventures of the International Space Police Force, commonly known as the Star Cops.

In this near-future setting, humanity has expanded its presence in space, creating a vast network of space stations, satellites, and moon outposts. It is the responsibility of the Star Cops to maintain law and order among this complex network, ensuring the safety and security of all inhabitants.

Commander Nathan Spring leads the Star Cops, a team of skilled and dedicated officers who are prepared to face any challenge that comes their way. As they navigate their way through a series of thrilling cases, the Star Cops encounter a wide range of criminals, from drug smugglers to murderers.

However, their biggest threat comes from an activist group known as Mother Earth, which is ideologically opposed to humanity's presence in space. The group has been quiet for some time, but they have now returned with a vengeance, seemingly willing to go to any lengths to achieve their aims.

One of the most thrilling episodes in the series is "One of Our Cops is Missing," written by Andrew Smith. As the construction of the Vasco da Gama, the largest space station ever put into orbit, nears completion, Nathan is visited by an old friend who asks for his help in tracking down a missing undercover officer. Meanwhile, Inspector Priya Basu is investigating a near-fatal spacewalk accident on the space station Rakesh Sharma that may be no accident at all.

In "Tranquillity and Other Illusions," Ian Potter takes the Star Cops to the moon outpost, where they must solve a murder that seems to have no motive. The investigation leads them to a mysterious woman who was with the victim at the time of the murder, and the team must navigate through a complex web of lies and deceit to uncover the truth.

"Lockdown" by Christopher Hatherall takes the Star Cops to the heart of Paris, where they must prevent a terrorist attack from taking place at the Tech Tower, a state-of-the-art, high-security, high-technology building. The episode is filled with action, suspense, and unexpected twists, as the team must use all of their skills and resources to prevent the terrorists from carrying out their deadly plan.

Star Cops is a thrilling and action-packed series that takes viewers on a journey through the new frontier of commercialized space exploration. With its compelling characters, thrilling cases, and innovative technology, the show has captured the hearts of audiences around the world. Whether you are a fan of science fiction or just looking for a thrilling and exciting television series, Star Cops is definitely worth watching.
