There is a TV series about the Bow Street Runners called 'City of Vice', a book series called "Samuel Johnson, Detector' about Johnson and Boswell solving crimes and a book called 'The Amazing Dr Darwin' about Erasmus Darwin solving supernatural mysteries.

There is a series about it with Henry Fielding played by Emperor Palpatine called 'City of Vice'. 6 episodes and good fun. They say the word 'fuckster' a lot.
