WPC 56
AudienceAudience: 7.1
Drama following WPC Gina Dawson, the first Woman Police Constable to join Brinford Constabulary, a fictional police force in the West Midlands, in 1956. The show focuses on WPC Gina Dawson's struggle to gain acceptance in the male-dominated police station whilst having to deal with the sexist attitudes that were commonplace at the time.
My takeA British police procedural drama following the lives and cases of officers in 1950s Birmingham, capturing the grit and humanity of post-war law enforcement with both procedural tension and personal character development.
