Based in Brighton, the series follows the lives of front line police officers around Brighton and Sussex, serving the fictional ‘South Sussex Police’ service.

The Port was approached by the director and producer of Cuffs at the beginning of the year.

Director of engineering, Tony Parker, said he ‘was only too pleased’ to show the crew around and after two visits they decided Shoreham Port would be the perfect location to film one of their dramatic car chases.

Mr Parker said: “The writers and producers of the Cuffs series really loved the variety of settings that the Port gives.

“The combination of water, busy commerce, leisure boating and fishing seemed to offer great scope for a dramatic chase to fit into their story line.

“I gather the ‘Port’ episode is one of the best and I’m really looking forward to seeing it.”
