On 5th February, the hit BBC show "The Sheriffs Are Coming" won the award for b at the Broadcast Awards 2014, the prestigious annual awards for the UK broadcasting industry, with the judging panel including senior executives from the broadcasting industry and Broadcast Magazine.
The programme follows enforcement agents from The Sheriffs Office, helping individuals, businesses and their solicitors to recover money they’ve been awarded in court but not paid.
It has been well received, reaching viewing figures rarely achieved in this age of multiple TV channels. The most recent programmes in January 2014 have regularly exceeded 30% of the viewing public, reaching 31.5% for one episode.
David Carter, CEO of Croydon-based firm The Sheriffs Office, commented on the award win:
“I am delighted the programme has won – it has been hugely popular and resonates with everyone who wants to see those who have won a judgment in court get the justice they expect.
“We agreed to the programme because we wanted to make members of the public aware of how they could use High Court enforcement to get their money back quickly and for little cost. And we can see this is happening as there are claimants’ cases shown in series 3 who contacted us after seeing us on TV.”
There have now been three series, with a total of 35 episodes, plus four one-hour primetime compilations, all on BBC 1.
The Sheriffs Office thanks the BBC for commissioning the show, Screenchannel Television for making it, all the clients who agreed to participate, the officers taking part and, most of all, the 25 million plus people who have watched and enjoyed it.
The series was produced by Screenchannel Television, makers of BBC1’s ‘Fake Britain’ and Channel 4’s ‘Our Man In’.
Croydon-based The Sheriffs Office are one of the largest and most successful firms of Authorised High Court Enforcement Officers in the UK.
