I wrote that I had not discovered who achieved the very realistic police routines and argot.
Now have a result
Tyler's politically correct approach to policing is in stark contrast to the attitudes of his new colleagues, in particular the tough talking Det Ch Insp Gene Hunt, played by Philip Glenister.
Tyler is horrified as he watches officers plant evidence on witnesses, beat up suspects and brawl with colleagues. His attempts to come to terms with the different attitudes of police officers in 1973, however, provide a rich source of humour. In one scene he asks colleagues where he can get access to a PC terminal. A bemused receptionist replies that they don't have an officer by that name.
The series is particularly popular with police officers. DCI Steve Crimmins, of Greater Manchester Police, who acts as script adviser, said that while the show's portrayal of 1970s officers was "a bit like a caricature" most of what is shown on screen was "pretty honest".
