"Entertaining Australian cop show of the 1970s which sank like a stone due to unfortunate timing when it first went to air . Lucky Grills turned in a thoroughly competent performance throughout the series short run as Detective Sergeant Bluey Hills - the rotund, street wise rebel of Melbourne's Russell Street Police Headquarters. The late Gerda Nicholson provided an ideal foil to Grills as Sergeant Monica Rourke.There was always plenty of action with car chases ,gun play and good old fashioned punch -ups being the order of the day together with a tasty sprinkling of snappy banter and witty..."

The series was satirically re-edited and re-voiced by the Working Dog team (D Generation, Frontline, The Panel) on the (Australian) ABC network with the new title 'Bargearse' referring to the physique of the lead actor, Lucky Grills (credited in Bargearse as 'Tubbs Farquhar').
