Star Cops (1987 BBC SciFi TV Series)

One of my favorite TV quotes comes from a BBC TV Series and it is thus

You leave Earth and anything you forget to bring with you will kill you. Anything you do bring with you which doesn't work properly will kill you. When in doubt, just assume *everything* will kill you. ['Nathan Spring', Star Cops]

This blog entry concerns that 1987 BBC TV series which is indeed entitled Star Cops
which mixes the science fiction and mystery genres .. see below for synopsis.
I first encountered this series on a PBS station in 1991 and have not seen it since except via youtube. I found it interesting as it mixed drama with mystery and had a major dose of sci fi.
Star Cops is a British science fiction television series which aired in 1987. The series is set 'in the year 2027, a time where Interplanetary travel has become commonplace, it starred David Calder as Nathan Spring, commander of the International Space Police Force—nicknamed the “Star Cops"—who provide law enforcement for the newly developing colonies of the Solar System. The series follows Spring and the rest of his multinational team as they work to establish the Star Cops and solve whatever crimes come their way. Operating in a relatively accurately realized hard SF, near-future, space environment, many of the cases that the Star Cops investigate arise from opportunities for new crimes presented by the technologically advanced future society the series depicts and from the hostile frontier nature of the environment that the Star Cops live in.'
