JULIET BRAVO

UK / BBC1 / 82x50m-e / 1980-85

Creator: Ian Kennedy Martin / Producers included Terence Williams, Jonathan Alwyn, Geraint Morris

Rural in tone, Juliet Bravo was a crime drama series that had a big point of difference from your standard cop show, a female lead, with Inspector Jean Darblay arriving in the small town of Hartley in Lancashire and initially facing scepticism, sexist remarks and distrust but eventually winning over her colleagues with her attitude and skills. She worked closely with bluff no nonsense sergeant Joe Beck.

After three seasons Darblay left the area and was replaced by Kate Longton but the show carried on exactl;y the same as before. Ian Kennedy Martin who created this show was also the man behind The Sweeney and Stephanie Turner had played Carter's wife in that series.
