    They haven't said. Part of their new season PR announced today.

    All I have seen in the press releases is Autumn 2015 and beyond.

    There is also another one called "recruits" that is a behind the scene look at the defense forces, that might also be interesting.

    Will look forward to both! Cheers!

    Read that the Aussie cops hate the Brit/Irish recruits.
    One ex Brit cop wrote a book about his time in WA police, said there were the most racist people he ever worked with.

    Should be interesting - thought about it myself (also Canada and the USA) but was too old to apply.

    Also online police forums like policeuk.com are full of ex British police saying the same thing about Joining the police in Aus, they cant all be wrong.

    It would be an interesting watch.

    I don't think I'll bother with "The Crime Factory" though. The author doesn't strike me as being either impartial or particularly perceptive and there is only one chapter on the Australian adventure.

    Any cops I've had dealings with over here have been fair and professional.

    I would tend to agree with hippie.

    If what he is saying is true then he is really at fault as well by taking no action against his colleagues.

    If I come across the book I will give it a read with an open mind.

    this video is unrelated to the RTE series but it's good if you understand Gaeilge

    "Irish crimefighters..."


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,551 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    I know the title of the show means we're getting the full package, but I'd prefer more footage about the job than lifestyle stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,341 ✭✭✭D Trent


    Anyone have a link to last nights episode on YouTube?
    Watched episode one on YouTube last week but can't find anything now

    And rte player is out of the question

    Thanks

    Watching it now. It's good but is also quite cringe worthy in places.
