WPC 56 is a British television drama series, written by Dominique Moloney and broadcast on BBC One. The stories feature the first woman police constables (WPC) to join Brinford Constabulary in 1956. Series one and two focus on Gina Dawson as she struggles to gain acceptance at a male-dominated police station and having to deal with the sexist attitudes that were commonplace at that time.
