Boyle and the producer, Robert Jones, first had the idea
for a new kind of police show four years ago,
around the time of Slumdog’s eight-Oscar success. Their thinking, recalls Armstrong,

filming them, all those Police Camera Action-y shows.
How, if any incident happens on the street, people get
their camera-phones out quickly. And then how the
cops use cameras to film public order situations.”
