Rose sat at the edge of the desk, "We've tackled sports TV last week, now we go to police procedurals. It's one of the more popular formats in the telly today. If some of you are not familiar police procedurals, as the name indicate, isn't so much about the mystery of who the criminal is but the process by which the detectives go about in solving the crime. Procedurals started out in books and crossed medias into television but, actually, if we delve deeper into its origins could be traced to movies called semi-documentaries filmed during the second world war. Then by the early fifties Americans pioneered the first procedural series on radio -- Dragnet.

"Americans may have cornered the market on popular procedural series; Crime Forensic Detectives and the many spin-offs of Crime and Justice come to mind but we Brits aren't that far behind in our side of the pond we had the Police and Prime Cracker. Both excellent procedurals and one series we shall be watching today -- Prime Cracker."

"Now, end of school's fast approaching and its time we talk about projects. Each of you will be presenting a report on what aspect of popular culture you think affects the culture you come from. Is it music? movies? books? or sports? I'd love to hear about your culture since we've tackled so much about this era's. All right? Everyone clear? Any questions and you're free to approach me."

*The Police is the meta name for The Cops and Prime Cracker for Prime Suspect

Hermione's trying to get a good grip on the American legal system by watching. She's pretty sure this isn't entirely accurate, but it's a start.

Ami watched the show and took notes, while the very wee kid next to her read a very thick book in Japanese the entire time quietly.

Henry took notes.

Rose was writing another one of those reports.

sorry for the delay, it's fairly typical now these days... but again, net failures. *shake head*
