Blue Heelers is an Australian police drama series which depicted the lives of police officers stationed at the fictional Mount Thomas police station in a small town in Victoria. Blue Heelers was produced by Southern Star for the Seven Network. As well as "everyday" policing matters, the series dealt with many controversial and "touchy" subjects. The series was also the first to examine the stressful world of young police officers who are invariably "thrown into the deep end where they are left to sink or swim". During its 13-season run it won a total of 32 awards and was nominated for a... further 50. This included 25 Logie Awards, five of which were the Gold Logie, the most coveted television award in Australia. Blue Heelers first aired on 10 September 1993 with the episode "A Woman's Place", and last aired on 4 June 2006 with its 510th episode "One Day More". It was Australia's most popular television drama, drawing more than 2.5 million viewers every week at its peak. It jointly holds the Australian record for most episodes produced of a weekly prime time drama.
