Fabian of Scotland Yard is a British police procedural television series based on the real-life memoirs of Scotland Yard detective Robert Fabian, produced by Trinity Productions, with episodes purchased by the BBC and broadcast between November 1954 and February 1956. It is considered the earliest police procedural to be shown on British TV, sharing many points of commonality with the U.S. series Dragnet which had gone on air in 1951.
