A New York cop drama has become the unexpected hit of multimedia journalism fortnight at City, University of London.
Chamomile and Crisp is set in twentieth century New York and draws inspiration from cop dramas of the 1920s, 1950s and 1970s.
Co-creator Laurie Kalus said: “It also draws a lot of inspiration from Dallas.”

Journalism students Corey Froggatt, John James and Laurie Kalus developed the show after noticing two students failed to turn up for their course.
Chamomile and Crisp are the surnames of the two no-shows.
Real people with real stories
Laurie added: “The characters are based on real people with real stories. They both feel pain.”
It has not been confirmed if the missing classmates were ever New York cops or officers in any police service.
The story so far has seen Chamomile and Crisp invited to a party, and Crisp choke on seafood.
Little detecting has taken place, but Mr Froggatt reassured his audience: “By the end of this week we’ll have forensics, a car chase and a femme fatale.”

Max Bower: “I hold the show together”
Laurie said: “It’s a lazy trope for New York cops to not do very much, so don’t blame us, blame the genre.”
Corey added: “It’s hard being a writer.”
The programme is voiced by fellow students from the MA Broadcast Journalism course at City, University of London.
They’re directed by Chamomile and Crisp’s writing team.
However, the programme’s narrator Max Bower believes the show’s strength lies elsewhere.
“I hold the show together”, Max Bower told City News.
Chamomile and Crisp is on City Radio’s PM show every afternoon at 1.50pm.
