We all sit and watch the TV, tutting and saying "That wouldn't happen," but what do police crime dramas always get wrong?
"Three main things," reports retired Detective Inspector Steve Gaskin.
"Senior police officers are not angry all the time, which is how its always portrayed.
"The sergeant assisting the senior investigating officer is not thick." (Take note, Morse and Midsomer fans.)
Morse, and TV hits like it, raise unrealistic expectations of investigative success, according to Steve Gaskin
"In fact, he's often the focal point of the inquiry, so he's got a lot of facts, names and contacts in his head.
"Finally, the speed by which you see these cases get solved by forensics is completely unrealistic.
"Every exhibit has to be examined thoroughly and ethically. Science is just not that quick, and these dramas do raise false expectations."
