    35 x 50 minute episodes

    The “Chief” of the title was Chief Constable John Stafford (Tim Piggot-Smith) who was in command of the (fictional) Eastland police service in East Anglia. Karen Archer was his 2IC, Assistant Chief Constable Anne Stewart.

    Stafford – who was often involved in head-to-head clashes with the Home Office and the Police Authority – was eventually promoted to Europol and Chief Constable Alan Cade (Martin Shaw) took over.

    Life at the top was more about politics than policing, although Cade, in particular, was forever trying to get his hands dirty at the sharp end and was seemingly incapable of delegating responsibility.
