Over five seasons throughout the 1990s, action-packed Australian drama series Police Rescue captivated audiences with daredevil underwater car rescues, petrol tankers exploding in neighbourhoods, and midnight searches in swamps for missing children.
Starring Aussie heart-throb Gary Sweet and Sonia Todd, the series – which ran from 1989 to 1996 – was based on the New South Wales Police Rescue Squad, as it was then known, in Sydney.
