Specials

on BBC One London

It takes guts, it needs nerve, and a sense of humour to step out of line and become a part-time policeman. But that's what five ordinary people, in the centre of this new 12-part drama series, have decided to do. Specials uses actors whose faces are fresh to television, and is shot in Birmingham.
Special Constables Viv Smith and Freddy Calder find two small children abandoned in a supermarket late at night.
