Can't wait for this, sounds so innovative. Be glued to the TV every time it's on, actually I wonder if I can pre-order the box set before it's shot?

The Nine Network yesterday confirmed its new Sydney drama Cops LAC as part of its 2010 Programme Launch.

As previously noted, the characters in the series include 2 Academy graduates, one male, 29, one female, 19; a third generation cop who wants to become a detective; an ‘old school’ Senior Sergeant on the cusp of retirement; an early 30s detective who can read human behaviour in an instant; a mid-40s female Inspector with an impeccable work ethic; and a Superintendent who is smart, strategic, and respected by his peers.


Ok I'll even do the casting.

29 male, academy graduate: Some young bloke who's been unemployed since Mcleod's Daughters was cancelled. Oh Wait! **** me, forget that! We need someone who was on Underbelly, so we can say '....and Underbelly's...' in the tv spots.

19 Female, academy graduate: An unknown, but conveniently the daughter of one of the writers or producers.

‘old school’ Senior Sergeant: Will we go with Frankie J Holden, or Steve Bisley? Nah Frankie seems too nice and Bisley is too much of a maverick to still be in uniform. Simon Westaway will button down well, but what's John Wood up to?

an early 30s detective: Stephen Curry? Nah not available. Bernard Curry? Nah he's on Home & Away. I think there's another brother, yeah we'll get him, it's like the Daddo's, our audience is too stupid to know the difference.

a mid-40s female Inspector: Catherine McClements! No she's on that Ten cop show. How old is Raylee Hill these days? Yeah still not 40. Hmm... Roxane Wilson? Well either her, or that other blonde bird from Stingers.

Superintendent: How's Gary Sweet these days? Three ex wives and maintenance for all those kids. I reckon he'll be keen.

Don't you just have a lump in your pants for COPS LAC!

Wouldn't be far off it.She's in a Telstra ad at the moment and looks old.
Kate Kendall is the other Stingers bird you're thinking of.
What about Sigrid Thorton ? She's in Underbelly 15,so she's already working for Nein.

It'll only be a real Aussie show if Bill Hunter and either Chris Heywood or Steve Bisley pop up in some role,even if it's just a crook in an episode.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what Canal Road was supposed to be.

Although I think there was only one police member main character and I'm sure we can all agree that for a commercial FTA Australian drama that's quite an effort.

Who remembers The Strip (only from this year mind you), I've watched a couple of episodes lately because its being repeated at midnight, and I'm too lazy to actually get off the couch. Its so cliched, its actually quite amusing.
e.g. two girl cops have to go "undercover" which of course means "putting themselves on display"
Sounds like It'll end up like this. Even City Homicide has turned into a wank, which is a shame.
