Overview
Blocks of episodes with the same colour scheme indicate the opening titles used in this particular series.
Series 10 (2006)
This series was originally filmed in 2002, but was not broadcast at the time following Alastair Stewart's conviction for drink driving. The series was eventually broadcast in 2006, exclusively on ITV4. This series was also the last series to be presented primarily by Stewart.
Series 11 (2007)
This series was broadcast on Monday nights at 9:00pm, before moving to a 9:00pm slot on Thursdays midway through the series.
Series 12 (2008)
This series was first broadcast on ITV4, with episodes later being repeated in the graveyard slot on ITV1. This was also the last series to be presented by Stewart. It was also the first and only series to be broadcast daily.
Series 13 (2008)
This series was presented solely by Simpson, and was the first series to be of an hour-long format. Most of the clips in this series had previously been broadcast in other episodes. This was the last series to be presented by Simpson.
Series 14 (2010)
This was the first and only series to be presented by Gethin Jones. This series also adopted a more documentary-like feel, rather than containing mostly clips like the previous series did. It continued the hour-long format previously adopted in Series 13.
Episode confusion
There has been some confusion over the titles of the early episodes. Police Stop was the pilot episode of Police, Camera, Action! and, to date is the only episode not to be re-screened in recent repeats. It is actually believed that the first episode of Police, Camera, Action! (broadcast in September 1994) was initially called "Police! Stop", and later given the episode name of "Danger! Drivers Ahead" for recent repeats. "Police, Camera, Action '95" was never issued with an episode name itself. To cause less confusion, it is referred to as "Police, Camera, Action '95". The reason for this episode not being given an episode name itself to this date has not been established.
There is also confusion over the recent Series 5. The first ten episodes are classed as Series 5, Part 1, although the episode "The Crushers" was not broadcast until Autumn 2008. The next 22 episodes up to "Under Surveillance" are classed as Series 5, Part 2.
