WPC 56 transports us back to the atmospheric world of the 1950's where from the war-torn past, a future full of energy and opportunity beckons. Nowhere is this more apparent than at Brinford police station where the new WPC Gina Dawson (Jennie Jaques) and her successor, Annie Taylor (Claudia Jessie), face the trials of being the first female officers to serve in their Midlands home town. Set against a heady background of Rock n'Roll juke joints and beauty pageants and an underworld of shady boxing clubs, brothels and nightclubs, WPC 56 follows the 2 young officers as they rise to take on serious crime and confront the prejudices of the age at every turn.
It’s 1956 and WPC Annie Taylor (Claudia Jessie) is the one and only female officer in the Brinford police. Hailing from a respected police family this way of life is in Annie’s blood but as the first woman amongst them to join up she has big shoes to fill not least her father’s. WPC 56 III transports us back to atmospheric world of Brinford with its heady mix of colour and music; Rock n’ Roll juke joints beauty contests and the cacophony of a police band. This hides a dark underbelly of murder and secrecy in a time still steeped in wartime horrors fueling fears of fresh enemies in a future that’s far from certain.
