Production
The production team found that as a result of the 1984 Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE), which codified a core framework of police powers and safeguards, designed to prevent a police officer fabricating a confession. As a result of PACE, a police officer making an arrest is required to fill in numerous forms to ensure correct protocols had been followed, to protect the innocent.[1]
The opening scene features a terrorist raid that goes as tragically wrong, much like that which killed Jean Charles de Menezes. After submitting the script, British Police co-operation was refused on the grounds that such an event was "unrepresentative". As a result, the production team engaged with retired officer, and gained additional input from anonymous serving officers, as well as gaining information from anonymous blogs including Inspector Gadget and PC Copperfield.[1]
