07 zgłoś się
07 zgłoś się was a popular Polish criminal television series broadcast on TVP i from November 25, 1976 to May 25, 1989. The series consists of twenty-one 50- to 100-minute episodes, divided into five seasons - filmed in 1976, 1978, 1981, 1984 and 1987, respectively. It combines elements of action film and police procedural genres.
Directed by Krzysztof Szmagier, it centers on the investigations of Police Lieutenant Sławomir Borewicz. Each episode features a different case being solved by Lieutenant Borewicz. The series was loosely based on a novel series Ewa wzywa 07. The title of both the novels and the TV series refers to "Zero-Seven", a police radio call-sign used by Borewicz.
The theme tune was written by Polish composer Wlodzimierz Korcz.
Despite being widely considered a work of propaganda aimed at warming the image of "Citizen's Militia", the series proved highly popular in Poland and even gained a cult following. Critics consider it "one of the biggest achievements of Polish crime drama" the "raw and realist response to Bond", and "the most popular Polish police series ever".
