The nation’s love of crime and policing novels and TV crime dramas such as Heartbeat, Happy Valley and Line of Duty led to two real-life police officers interviewing actors who have played officers and detectives to sort the drama from the real-life (and sometimes unbelievable!) stories – here recreated for one night only at Chester Literature Festival.

Join Britain’s Got Talent finalist Dave Wardell, the UK’s most famous Twitter cop Harry Tangye and internationally recognised comedian Arthur Smith for an evening of talking cops and comedy. The evening will be hosted by actor Ian Puleston-Davies.
