An exceptional but all too short series from genre veteran Chris Boucher chronicling the rise of a international space police force - 'starCops' on a Moonbase in 2027.

Great miniature work - deep character roles and clever plots kept the viewers guessing for 9 episodes of 50m in 1987.

The series had a rousing theme from Moody Blues front man Justin Haywood - a mysterious computer box - lost an episode due to a strike and was criminally not recomissisoned.
