Night Coppers review: The cops caught in a rom-com on the mean streets of ... trends now
Night Coppers

'Me and Jack, we've often thought we're in love,' PC Annie admits. She's 27 and single, and when the pair of them aren't breaking up street fights in Brighton on a Saturday night, they're flirting like mad in the panda car.

The pair of them were laughing and blushing so hard, the inside of that car must have been like a sauna. 'People see us together and question, is there something going on there?' Annie says. Jack agrees: 'She's just one of those people who's going to be my mate, hopefully, for a long time.'
