It revolved around the professional and private lives of a group of officers at a Wellington police station under the command of Inspector Brian "Sharky" Finn.
The title came from the informal code term used by officers to indicate that the Inspector was about and they should "look busy".
The show also featured actors in guest roles, among them Lucy Lawless, Michael Hurst, Temuera Morrison, and Karl Urban.
The series was produced by the Gibson Group and broadcast by Television One – it has since been repeated on TVNZ 6.
Writers for the show included Fran Walsh, later to become well known through her association with Peter Jackson and her work on films such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
