Sergeant Stripes is a TV series created by David Bonner which first aired on CBeebies on 1 September 2003.
Stripes is a cute gray cat who lives in a sleepy provincial police station with little Katie and her father, PC Harker.
Both they and pretty Sergeant Parker think Stripes is merely a meowing moggy, but when this little cat slopes off to his bed underneath the stairs for a nap, well, that's when the fun really starts.
He tricks Sergeant Stripes and the team to investigate imaginary crimes around town and later, he heads off to the town bank to do a security check of the vaults, which of course, he actually robs!
One morning, Inspector Hector arrives late at the police station, because He apparently went to the dry cleaners to get his uniform cleaned after spilling some porridge on it, so He now has to wear a temporary uniform for the rest of the day until his main one has been cleaned and dried.
