    A critically acclaimed drama series from the early '90s, The Chief shows a police force under change and the friction generated as attempts are made to reform outmoded policies and challenge the often unacceptable conduct of front-line officers. Tim Pigott-Smith stars as John Stafford, an outspoken and deeply committed officer who has been newly promoted to Chief Constable at Eastland, East Anglia. Not one to shy from difficult decisions, his appointment of the highly capable Anne Stewart as his deputy proves deeply unpopular and exposes some of the more unpleasant institutional attitudes among the ranks. In later series, Stafford moves on and is replaced by Alan Cade (Martin Shaw). While no less capable than his predecessor, Cade finds that the challenge of frontline policing continues to be eclipsed by pressure from both his Home Office superiors and the local government agencies that are increasingly taking over many police roles. Forthright and, at times, controversial, The Chief does not shy from tackling the ever-mounting challenges of modern policing be they the consequences of militant student action, vigilante gangs, bombings, extreme activism, witness intimidation, the exploitation of migrant workers, and dealing with death in the line of duty.

    This outstanding police procedural drama stars noted actor Martin Shaw as Alan Cade the compassionate and resolutely reformist chief constable of Eastland a fictional East Anglian force; a distinguished guest cast includes Philip Glenister Andy Serkis John Shrapnel Peter Egan and Nickolas Grace. While this fourth series continues to show the many challenges facing Cade and his frontline team from drug crime to terrorist bombings witness intimidation and the exploitation of migrant workers the focus remains on the politics of modern policing. The former Met commissioner s radical approach still antagonises his superiors at the Home Office and he is now witnessing the gradual centralisation and unaccountability of the government agencies that are taking over different police roles. And as ever Cade's deep commitment to Eastland is taking an unremitting toll on his personal relationships...
