Dervla Kirwan co-stars as Claire Maxwell, an ambitious solicitor. The first series was originally broadcast on BBC1, with the second series following a year later. The series was shown in the U.S. under the programme's working title; The Night Detective. The series was subsequently axed in 2006, and production company Zenith North entered administration shortly after, with the programme's axing being described as a "heavy blow" for the company.[1] Both series were released together in a complete box set on 26 June 2006. PlotDetective Sergeant Nicky Cole (Don Gilet) blows the whistle on a senior police officer guilty of corruption in London. Cole is then shunted up North to avoid any difficulties or fallout, and ends up in Newcastle upon Tyne as a Detective Sergeant in a busy CID with the fictional Tyneside Police. To begin with, he finds himself on the night shift and becomes increasingly frustrated at the inspector - DI Carter (Christian Rodska)'s - desire to keep him there despite the fact that his ability and motivation clearly exceed the demands of the job. In the second series he becomes part of the day team and is a key member of the police squad that deals with, over the two series, a wide variety of crimes. Whilst developing his police career, Cole also finds time to help support the family he has brought to the North with him. His uncle, Errol Hill (George Harris), first-generation immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago, and nephew Matty (Jaeden Burke), are an integral part of Cole's life. Cole's relationship with CPS lawyer, Claire Maxwell (Dervla Kirwan), provides another side to the story, as she is juggling work with caring for a baby, and Cole is caught between a rock and a hard place in choosing between her, or the attractive Sergeant, or one of Matty's school teachers. Another relationship developed is one between Cole and Sergeant Astel, who in the very first scene, smashes Cole's brake light after stopping him and not realising his status as a police officer. This awkward start turns into a strange but strong friendship by the end. 55 Degrees North is a police drama at heart, but covers many different aspects of life, including love and relationships and the importance of family. It also touches on such issues as racism and police corruption. Many crimes committed are pertinent to the age, and complex issues such as genetic engineering are tackled. Tyneside Police{{See also|List of law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom#Fictional police forces}}The exterior of the police station used in the programme is actually the base of HMS Calliope, a Royal Navy Reserve training centre for the North and North East.[2] This building is located on the Gateshead bank of the River Tyne next to the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The name given for the police force in the series was Tyneside Police; with a logo similar to that of the defunct Tyne and Wear County Council and uniforms with slightly altered badge labels borrowed from Northumbria Police, the real police force which covers the Newcastle upon Tyne area. CastAll characters had a major role in the series.
Episode listSeries 1 (2004)The first series sees Cole work on the night shift, and thus, the majority of the scenes are filmed in the dark. This creates an air of suspicion and tension, and this is clear as Cole is unsure who he can trust. His two main co-workers are reluctant to forge a relationship with him, and his immediate commanding officer seems distant, harsh, and somewhat afraid that Cole may blow the whistle on his career if he steps at all out of line. The first series aired from 6 July to 10 August 2004. Christian Rodska (DI Carter) left the show at the end of this series. {{Episode table |background=#00A1D7 |overall= |season= |title= |director= |writer= |airdate= |viewers= |episodes={{Episode list|EpisodeNumber=1 |EpisodeNumber2 = 1 |Title= Between a Rock and a Hard Place |WrittenBy= Timothy Prager |DirectedBy= Andy De Emmony |OriginalAirDate= {{Start date|2004|7|6|df=y}} |Aux4= 5.19 |ShortSummary= DS Cole (Don Gilet) finds himself still stuck on the night shift a month after his initial transfer. However, he soon discovers the night can be just exciting as the day. Following the death of a key witness in a major extortion case, Cole goes in pursuit of the only remaining witness who can testify at the trial. The problem is, he has been intimidated by a violent gang and has gone into hiding. After finally tracking him down, Cole is forced to protect the man's parents after their house is firebombed. The case takes a further twist when a ransom note is slipped under his cell door back at the nick. And that's not all Cole has to deal with - the shift also sees him having to deal with a Jane Doe pulled out of the river, and a domestic involving a squabbling husband and wife. |LineColor=00A1D7 }}{{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=2 |EpisodeNumber2 = 2 |Title= Payback |WrittenBy= Timothy Prager |DirectedBy= Andy De Emmony |OriginalAirDate= {{Start date|2004|7|13|df=y}} |Aux4= 4.86 |ShortSummary= DI Carter (Christian Rodska) isn't too happy when the CPS declare that their attempt to bring down the owner of a brothel as corrupt due to the undercover officer offering paid incentives for 'extras'.

However, mitigating circumstances surrounding the case leave Cole to suspect that the charges should be against the claimant, rather than the victim.

His character is honest, open and amusing, and signals a stark contrast between the two series. He creates a more positive impression, and allows the show to move in a different direction. The series aired from 22 May to 10 July 2005. {{Episode table |background=#00A1D7 |overall= |season= |title= |director= |writer= |airdate= |viewers= |episodes={{Episode list|EpisodeNumber=7 |EpisodeNumber2 = 1 |Title= Holy Day of Obligation |WrittenBy= Timothy Prager |DirectedBy= Jen Sen |OriginalAirDate= {{Start date|2005|5|22|df=y}} |Aux4= 4.47 |ShortSummary= Cole investigates an intimidation campaign against a local research group, but is dragged off the case when the body of a young man is found in the city centre with a broken neck.

Meanwhile, Claire finds herself in court leading a case into a market trader who has been abusing trading standards rules by selling his fruit and veg in metric amounts. |LineColor=00A1D7 }}{{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=8 |EpisodeNumber2 = 2 |Title= Make Me a Hero |WrittenBy= Timothy Prager |DirectedBy= Jen Sen |OriginalAirDate= {{Start date|2005|5|29|df=y}} |Aux4= 3.69 |ShortSummary= Cole and Maguire are eager to find out whether Yates has been handed the DI's job permanently, but during the official announcement, are called away to the scene of an armed robbery at a building society, where they encounter a rather comic Welshman who turns out to be the new Inspector.

Obtaining DNA from the youth and placing it at the scene, Yates believes he created the perfect alibi for Dungary, but Cole, Maguire and Bing are all suspicious of his motives.
