Star Cops is a British science fiction television series first broadcast on BBC Two in 1987. It was devised by Chris Boucher, a writer who had previously worked on the science fiction television series Doctor Who and Blake's 7 as well as crime dramas such as Juliet Bravo and Bergerac.
In total nine episodes were made. A tenth episode, titled "Death on the Moon", was planned but industrial relations difficulties during production led to it being abandoned shortly before recording was to commence.
The demise of the show after just nine episodes has been seen as indicative of the decline of British television science fiction in the 1980s and there would be no British regular science fiction drama series on British television until Bugs began in 1995.
