''Coppers End'' is a {{Britcom}} that aired on Creator/{{ITV}} in 1971, starring Creator/BillOwen, Richard Wattis, Creator/JosephineTewson, George Moon, Royce Mills, and Kevin Brennan.
Coppers End is a sleepy police station where not much crime goes on and the policemen - led by Sergeant Sam Short (Owen) and Chief Superintendent Ripper (Brennan) - work very hard to avoid work. After all, who wants to fill out forms, make reports, or give evidence in court?
Sam, Ripper, and the Constables - Eddie Edwards (Wattis), Chipper Collins (Moon), and Dinkie Dinkworth (Mills) - spend their time with matters they find more important, such as hiring out the squad car for events such as weddings and driving lessons.
This is all to change with the arrival of Sergeant Penny Pringle (Tewson), who is enthusiastic to work, a firm supporter of Women's Lib, and determined to shake things up at the station.
The series wasn't liked by the cast or the audience and was never rebroadcast after the initial run. All thirteen episodes survive but are unable to be seen by the public in the modern day.
