I dunno--seems like an interesting concept, but the theme song cracks me up every time. "...sends a message to the SHOOOOOOOOOOORE"

It is also perpetually stuck in my head.

When I first saw this show on PBS in San Diego, I thought it was brillant. Too bad here were only a nine episodes. I know the theme was hated, but it really fit Nathan's character and what he loses.

Sorry but I loved this show - the players played real people and there wasn't a super fly solution every week (unlike Star Trek) such a pity that it wasn't really developed. I predict that a show like Star Cops will make a return - it might be next week or still a few years away, but it will happen.

David Caulder still rocks - he's just begun a new Dixon of Doc Green series on Radio 4 Extra

He's more than capable of a return - perhaps via a series of Star Cop audio stories ?

Great theme, but series isn't that cool like Battlestar Galactica. So bad, honestly.

[PoorGrunt]

Wait, that is not how I recall it. Wasn't the guy in space something like the Swedish PM? The guy in the water is the crime solved by the show's protagonist that got him transferred to a corrupt Police Precinct in Space to solve the Swedish PM Murder.

Like all British Series, GREAT acting. Of course, we should already know Chris Boucher from Blake's 7.

It wasa dual murder, the guy at the lake had something to do with failing space suits, and the guy in space was a victim, they were trying to cover faulty equipment that the Italians made. No hallucinations, just syncronicity.

Just told my girlfriend about Star Cops. I couldn't remember who played Nathan Spring, I know it was David Caulder now. But wasn't he in a Bond movie?

MAJOR EPISODE SPOILERS!!!!

The opening is the precursor to the episode plot....SPOILERS! SPOILERS!There is a spate of mysterious pressure suit failures, one of which we see here. The guy in the lake is being murdered, and it turns out that the suit failures are due to sabotage in an attempt for a rival company to the murdered man's to win the maintenance contract.

[DevilMaster]

What does the opening represent? Has the astronaut's oxygen supply run out, so his hypoxia led him to hallucinate about diving into a lake and being unable to resurface? Or is it the other way around (=an old man dived into a lake, where he went into a shock which made him hallucinate about being an astronaut)?

I have the same name as the main character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
