    • Trivia
      This gritty police series was the BBC's attempt to rival ITV's popular action series The Sweeney (1975). Unlike its contemporary series, Target has been consigned to television obscurity and has all but disappeared from public memory. Although all seventeen episodes exist on 16mm color film in the BBC archives, TV repeats of Target have been seldom, the series has never been released on VHS, DVD or Blu-ray, and it has not been made available to watch online by the BBC.
