Info

Secrets of Scotland Yard breaks through the façade of the most famous police headquarters in the world: the very name Scotland Yard is synonymous with all that’s best in the detection of crime. Scotland Yard is the headquarters of one of the oldest police forces in the world – London’s Metropolitan Police Service – known to Londoners as ‘the Met’. Today, 33,000 Scotland Yard police officers safeguard one of the largest cities in Europe, patrolling nearly ten thousand miles of street, more than 200 miles of waterway, six hundred square miles of airspace, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Secrets of Scotland Yard Audience Reviews

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
carbuff Not bad, but not great either. Some interesting historical information and moves along well enough to hold your attention, but overall seems a bit light and shallow. Mostly I just wish it had been a lot more information intense, but that may turn off some other people. The three other people I watched it with felt the same thing--decent and worth watching, but not exceptional. Also, very oddly, the show fails to mention (as far as I noticed) that the diamond in the Millennium Dome heist was replaced with a fake prior to the attempted theft--this is well known and a credit to Scotland Yard, so I can't think of any reason not to mention it.
