Police Academy UK got more than a million people watching every week of its April airing on BBC3. The format is currently being sold abroad where international officers will train and work with police forces in a country near you…

Police Academy UK starts on Sunday 3rd April at 9pm for 4 weeks on BBC3. Four international police officers are coming to Britain to work with our police forces. They’re on a fact-finding mission, but the results are shocking!

Kalel are tasked with producing a promo for HP’s latest Photosmart printer. The client, Ciao, wanted to highlight the machine’s ability to print up photos from texts received from anywhere in the world. So we got Iain Lee on board to encourage members of the public to text the printer the best photos on their phones.

Four police officers from around the world will come to the UK to work with their British counterparts in a new series for BBC3 from the partnership behind The Undercover Princes. The yet-to-be-named 4 x 60-minute series is a co-production between Objective Productions and Kalel Productions, and will investigate the differences between officers of various rank and experience from Africa, South America and the Pacific Islands.

The officers will work with a number of UK police forces and the show will follow their experience of British culture through policing, crime and dishing out punishment.

Objective and Kalel have had a co-production agreement since 2008 and worked together on The Undercover Princes and The Undercover Princesses series. BBC executive director of entertainment Karl Warner commissioned the series, which will be exec produced by Kalel’s Nick Parnes.
