Re: Juliet bravo

Loved JB, one episode that particularly sticks in my mind was the tragic death of the character PC Danny Sparks. It was very moving to have the commanding officer showing some real emotion over the loss!

Loved the theme too!

Stephanie Turner later joined a feminist poetry trio called The Raving Beauties- they brought out a poetry collection called 'In The Pink' and used to perform at The Edinburgh Festival.

hi mate.
the show dealt with a lot of controversial issues.
it was a very gritty show.
and quite shocking.

Another favourite of my Mum's.

Some episodes could be very downbeat, from what I remember.

Despite popular misunderstanding, there never was any character named Juliet Bravo in the show. The name of the show is the inspector's radio call sign "J-B", or Juliet Bravo in the phonetic alphabet as practised in European nato states.

In fact this call sign was only used once during Stephanie Turner's tenure, which incidently was the last episode of Series Three.

However from Series Four to Six the call sign was frequently used.

The working title of the programme employed by series creator ian kennedy martin was "Inspector, Ma'am", a reference to the lead character's rank and title—a title whose use she was forced to insist upon from one of her Sergeants in the first episode of series 1, due to his preference for the informal, and possibly derogatory, "Boss". However, "Inspector, Ma'am" was dropped during filming of the first series

The lead role of Inspector Jean Darblay was played by Stephanie Turner between 1980 and 1982, and her replacement Inspector Kate Longton was played by Anna Carteret between 1983 and 1985.
