Part of the Spotlight series, a series of events to ignite your curiosity, brought to you by Teesside University.
The evolution of police television dramas is examined by Dr Ben Lamb in this entertaining talk, which will trace development of the genre from Dixon of Dock Green to Happy Valley, via The Sweeney, The Bill, and Cracker.
This talk will look at how police dramas have borrowed elements from social realism, melodrama, the soap opera, sci-fi, and action series to determine how the genre has developed alongside modern British society.
