Here we have fingerprinting in action.
The album features Shaw Taylor, who presented a factual television show about the police force, called "Police Five", so called because it was only five minutes long. That was first screened in 1962 and lasted for thirty years.
His name was not actually Shaw, but Eric Stanley Taylor, and he had been born in 1924. He served in the Royal Air Force and then, via the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, became a theatre actor. In the 1950s he moved to television, and was involved with a variety of acting and presenting roles. He also hosted several quizzes. He died in 2015, about a year after Police Five had been rebooted as a weekly show on Channel Five, with him presenting.
Now the first thing to mention about this set is that it was only ever printed with black backs, there was not a different colour original and black back reprints.
This set only appears in our original British Trade Index part III, published in 1986, as : "Police File. Nd. (40) issued 1977". Whilst the heading tells us that the cards measure 68 x 37 m/m. However it is not in our updated volume, which ends at 1970
