It's 1956 and WPC Annie Taylor (Claudia Jessie) is the one and only female officer in the Brinford police. Hailing from a respected police family this way of life is in Annie's blood but as the first woman amongst them to join up she has big shoes to fill, not least her father's.
WPC56 III transports us back to an atmospheric world of Brinford with its heady mix of colour and music; Rock n' Roll juke joints, beauty contests and the cacophony of a police band. This hides a dark underbelly of murder and secrecy in a time still steeped in wartime horrors, fuelling fears of fresh enemies in a future that's far from certain.
