'Don't move! You're surrounded by armed bastards!' Viewers of "Life on Mars" could be forgiven for thinking that the police force of the 1970s lived by the maxim 'The rules are: there are no rules', yet it turns out that this was not the case. A fascinating historical document has now emerged which shows that there were indeed rules and in 1973 they were recorded on paper by none other than DCI Gene Hunt himself. Divided into ten sections, "The Rules of Modern Policing - 1973 Edition" covers everything from interrogating suspects and undercover operations to driving and dress code. Several of the rules are illustrated with diagrams, and photographs of DCI Hunt himself illustrating the more physical parts of the job: how to hit suspects so you don't leave a mark; how to signal the importance of your arrival by crashing into inanimate objects (cardboard boxes are a perfect example here - lots of noise; no damage to your motor); how to roll over the bonnet of your cortina without making a dick of yourself. Completing the book is an invaluable glossary of police terms, covering everything from blag to lag, and nonce to ponce.An essential reference work for fans of "Life of Mars", "The Rules of Modern Policing" offers a unique insight to seventies' law enforcement that will make you laugh until you cry like the wet little turd you are.

This is a must for fans of Life On Mars, the nostalgic father or uncle and the rest with a sense of humour.
This book gives you the policing perspective circa 1973 from that fine gentleman DCI Gene Hunt, played by philip glenister.
Politically incorrect, sexist and brilliantly funny.
A great purchase, a great gift all in all great book.

 I love DCI Gene Hunt!!!

I bought this book for my fiance and he read it on xmas day and then I read it on boxing day. It is brilliant, full of 'Geneisms' which are of course very witty, hilarious and politically incorrect. A must have for any Life On Mars fan.
