Motorway Cops is BBC One's primetime observational documentary series featuring the Central Motorway Police Group. Hugely popular, with viewing figures hitting the seven million mark, it regularly pulls in and grows its audience throughout the competitive 9pm slot.
The series follows the Motorway Cops in one of the busiest areas in Britain, the hub of the motorway network in the Midlands, an ideal place to intercept travelling criminals as they move around the country. As well as following the daily incidents the Motorway Cops experience, the series also offers a perspective on important issues of the day. From road safety and drink driving, to looking at the problems caused by an increasingly congested network - this is a unique series told through the eyes of the main characters - the men and women who police the roads.
