 | These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items. | |
YMMV: Police Camera Action
|
- Anvilicious: For the entire 1994-1996 series, but opinions differ. Subverted from 1997 onwards.
- Better on DVD: Well, it would appear so...
- Crowning Moment of Funny: The "And finally..." ending that was on episodes between 1994 to 2002, and some parts of the 2007 series (in particular the episode Under Surveillance).
- Cult Classic: Fan demand for a DVD of the show has skyrocketed since the 2006 re-airings of the show, and numerous discussion abates on various TV-related sites.
- Family Unfriendly Aesop: Even for a police show, well, it happens...
- Growing the Beard: From the 1995 episode Tales of the Unexpected and Helicops. Seems to do this every series.
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: A sequence involving a blue Ford Sierra in the 2002 episode Motorway Manners. Probably (AFAIK) the only literal example of this trope living up to the name.
- Internet Backdraft: Subverted. The show seems to get a fan campaign all of its own, although the only gripes are missing episodes and the notorious Edited for Syndication trope. It is mostly praise, apart from on some sites.
- Narm: Gethin Jones' episode Drink Driving Special.
- Narm Charm: Gethin Jones' episode in 2008.
- Periphery Demographic: Watched by all ages, a la Doctor Who, despite intended audience being for adults.
- Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: Some website and discussion sites were describing this show as "anvilicious" fairly recently about the episodes Safety Last (1995 episode), Tales of the Unexpected and Rust Buckets, although it's a matter of opinion as to whether they are or not.
