}}Top Coppers (released 19 August 2015) is a British sitcom, directed by Céìn McGillicuddy, broadcast on BBC Three and BBC Two.^[1]^[2]

Background

Top Coppers follow the adventures of cops John Mahogany (Steen Raskopoulos) and Mitch Rust (John Kearns^[3]) as they attempt to rid the fictional world of Justice City from its deranged criminal underworld. They both have red hair (ie copper coloured), giving a double meaning to the show's title.

The universe and its characters are derived from the conventions of American and British police shows of the 70s and 80s, from Starsky & Hutch to The Professionals, but is set in no specific time or country.

Episodes
