Beat Officers
This episode meets beat bobbies tackling shoplifters, burglars, drunks, anti-social behaviour and intractable disputes between neighbours in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The police find themselves dealing with the same people time and again. Like most officers, straight-talking Inspector Steve Cartwright is fed up with career criminals with no respect for the police or society and is sick of dealing with neighbourly disputes. 'Since when has dog poo outside your house been a police matter? We all joined to be cops, not social workers.' But upbeat PC Steve Porter, who came to policing after a career as a factory manager, feels he has found his calling dealing with people's problems: 'We spend our time sorting people's lives out and if I can make a difference, it's a job well done to me.' No-nonsense PC Christian Hurley has been on the beat team for three years and admits it was a culture shock when he first joined: 'Seeing needles and spoons with heroin in people's houses used to be shocking, but you get used to it... it's a case of wipe your feet on the way out.' Meanwhile, 26-year-old PC Dan Cooper, the youngest officer on Worksop's Neighbourhood Team, has had to adapt quickly to the reality of modern policing: 'Society's gone a bit by the wayside ain't it? We all get called offensive names, being spat at is the worst... you just have to detach yourself from it.'

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015. 

Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
