Ashley Walters in Bulletproof

Walters recently appeared in the new buddy cop action TV series Bulletproof alongside Noel Clarke.

The show revolves around two police officers played by Walters and Clarke tasked with stamping out crime in the East End of London. The new show was inspired by Bad Boys and other American law enforcement movies and TV shows.

Walters states: ‘I grew up on Bad Boys and I've always wondered why I could never see any cop shows like that on TV over here, with the kind of people that I can relate to.’

The idea for the program had been toyed with by Walters and Clarke for several years before finally entering production. According to Walters: ‘We came up with the idea maybe seven years ago, or eight years, something like that. And then it got put on the back-burner, pretty much, something like five years or something like that.’ 

The six-episode TV series premiered on Sky One on Tuesday, May 15 and can be seen at 9pm BST.
