The Sheriffs Are Coming

The Sheriffs Are Coming is a British television fly on the wall documentary series, broadcast on BBC One, that follows the work of High Court enforcement officers (HCEOs) from the Sheriff's Office in Croydon. The initial idea for the series came after a 10-minute feature on HCEOs on the BBC One show Inside Out South West in 2011. The first series, containing ten episodes, commenced on 19 March 2012. Seven series have been broadcast to date, with an eighth airing in 2019. As well as seven daytime series, five hour-long prime time series have been broadcast, compiling footage from episodes from the parent series. On 5 February 2014, The Sheriffs Are Coming was announced as the winner of the Best Daytime Programme at the Broadcast Awards 2014.
