Juliet Bravo was a British television series which ran between 1980 and 1985. The theme of the series concerned a female police inspector who took over control of a police station in a fictional town of Hartley in Lancashire. The name of the show is the inspector's radio call sign.
The role of Inspector Jean Darblay was played by Stephanie Turner between 1980 and 1982, and her replacement Inspector Kate Longton was played by Anna Carteret between 1983 and 1985.

Episode list
Trivia
- Exterior scenes filmed in the Lancashire towns of Bacup and Burnley, and in Todmorden, West Yorkshire. Other locations around east Lancashire and West Yorkshire were also used.
- Bacup police station was only ever used as an external view, the interior is fictional and studio based. When leaving the police station to go on mobile patrol, the vehicles were driven from the front of the police station, to the left, which in reality, leaves them driving into a wall and shuttered warehouse.
- The existing and currently operation Bacup police station is likely to be sold soon as alternate accomodation for the police is currently being saught.
- In the Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama Deadline, Juliet Bravo has become a cult phenomenon in a world where Doctor Who never caught on.
- In 1989, Anna Carteret reprised her role as Kate Longton in Alexei Sayle's Stuff (episode 5, series 2). Viewers were fooled into believing that the first few minutes of the programme was a real Juliet Bravo episode, the illusion being broken only when one of her male colleagues appears not to "know what a woman is".
