The Front Line was a BBC sitcom about two half-brothers of West Indian descent who shared a house, one brother, Malcolm, is a policeman, the other, Sheldon, is a dreadlocked Rastafarian. It was created by Alex Shearer, filmed in Bristol and Cardiff, and transmitted between 6 December 1984 and 17 January 1985. A pilot, On the Frontline, was broadcast in the 1970s. The theme tune was written and performed by Black Roots, and the opening credits features the band performing the song.
