It tells the story of the London Metropolitan police force's vice squad, where prostitution, underage sex, and other such organized crime are regular occurrences. Most episodes end in such a way where the main villain is caught but often not in a 'naturally' concluded way that you would expect with other TV dramas, and often ending an episode with more questions unanswered than answered. The small dedicated team is led by Detective Inspector Pat Chappel who struggles to manage the balance between his home life and his work life - as do the other members of the team. Working in the seedy underworld leads to a continual dilemma for the team - the tension between the Vice Squad and the vice-related crimes that they investigate runs throughout the series and gives the show a rich viewing experience.

Kevin Spencer is an in-your-face-funny, adult oriented, animated comedy. It chronicles the wacky adventures of the massively eccentric Spencer family as seen through the eyes of their teenage son, Kevin, an oddly astute and likable sociopath-in-the-making. Part satire, part social commentary, but mostly just fun and funny, the stories are as surprising and unpredictable as they are hysterical.
