Police Camera Action! is a police video programme presented by Alastair Stewart and made by Optomen Television between 1994 and 2002 for Carlton Television which is broadcast on ITV1. Each episode had a subtitle relating to the type of police video footage such as "Safety Last" or "Driven to Distraction". It typically features police footage and occasional media footage relating to bad driving and road crime.
However, this has not always been so, with special episodes The Liver Run (featuring the Metropolitan Police) and The Man Who Shot OJ, focusing on the work of helicopter cameraman and pilot Bob Tur in Los Angeles. This episode also looked at the controversies behind the OJ Simpson trial. In later seasons of the show, footage from Bob Tur and the Los Angeles News Service would feature more prominently in certain episodes.
In 2002 the presenter Alastair Stewart's contract to present Police Camera Action was ended due to a drink driving conviction in Winchester, Hampshire and this delayed transmission of some unaired episodes until January 17, 2006.
Currently rescreenings of Police Camera Action are made on ITV4, 9.00pm-10.00pm Wednesday and Thursday (UK time).
The rescreenings are of:
- Season 1 (1994-1995)
- Season 2 (1996-1998)
- Season 3 (1998-2000)
- Season 4 (2000-2001)
Season 5, from 2002, only airs on ITV1.
- The first episode broadcasted in 1994 was known as Police Stop!, however this was also used by a similar police programme that was available on VHS video (and later Sky One) that is known as Police Stop! In recent rescreenings of this episode on Men & Motors it is renamed Police, Camera, Action! with the subtitle of "Danger! Drivers Ahead" in line with the other episodes of this series.
- A spin off book of the series was released in 1996 by Ebury Press which was written by Peter Gillbe with a foreword by Alastair Stewart and which featured police footage of bad driving. Currently the book is out of print.
