This surprisingly upbeat documentary series profiles the issues he and fellow officer Matt come up against – including their old chief who was in the force for 30 years and who they, rather awkwardly, pull over to breathalyse. “You should never do traffic stops with Matt,” says Will. “He loves traffic too much.” Hollie Richardson
