and I do actually remember the hostage situation episode
It was a particularly standout one, yes. It was the one I remembered even when I'd forgotten everything else, before I got S4 for the measly bit of Collings-content. Anna Carteret is especially excellent in it.
Well, they do have other constables. Occasionally they even have names as they pass us by, it's just that only 2 sergeants and 2 constables are actually real and generally allowed to have lines, and the 2 sergeants rarely actually go home when they're off shift. I am sure it was all 100% realistic.
They should do a new version, where it's now just a tiny office tacked onto the local library, manned by a part-time constable, with three counties all sharing one sergeant, and an inspector being as rare as hens' teeth..
That's very unrealistic, the library would have been closed long before the police station!
