奥斯卡最佳导演获奖者丹尼·博伊尔指导Channel 4最新喜剧《警察故事》。本剧关注一批伦敦警察高层,由《霍比特人》演员詹姆斯·纳斯比特、奥利维亚奖最佳男主角博迪·卡维尔主演。 2014年春天将播出一集试播集,九月播出6集全长正片。 伦敦警方急需改善形象,于是警察局长Richard Miller叫来美国新媒体领域的专家、公关形象设计师Liz Garvey(Brit Marling)帮助伦敦警察局的公关宣传部门进行改革。获得奥斯卡奖的导演Danny Boyle制片并执导该剧。Sam Bain和Jesse Armstrong撰写剧本。 剧名《巴比伦》有着多重含义:首先,伦敦市的别称就叫做「现代巴比伦」(The Modern Babylon);其次,巴比伦在黑人英语中是对白人尤其是警察社会生活的鄙视用语;第三,巴比伦有奢华淫靡的意思,吻合剧情中「警察部门因丑闻而面临公关危机并急需改善形象」的事实。

Fourteen-year-old Mo is a lonely, sensitive boy whose hunger for the rant and banter of buddies makes him prone to tread dangerous territories. He idolizes his handsome older brother, Rashid, a charismatic, well-respected member of a local gang, whose drug dealing enables “Rash” to provide for his family. Aching to be seen as a tough guy himself, Mo takes a job that unlocks a fateful turn of events and forces the brothers to confront their inner demons. It turns out that hate is easy. It is love and understanding that take real courage.
