The Sheriffs Are Coming is a British television fly on the wall documentary series, broadcast on BBC One, that follows the work of High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) from Peter Noble Watt, David Carter and Michael Aynlesy of The Sheriffs Office.
The initial idea for the series came after a ten-minute feature on HCEOs on the BBC One show Inside Out South West in 2011.
On 5 February 2014, The Sheriffs Are Coming was announced as the winner of the Best Daytime Programme at the Broadcast Awards 2014.
In the case of Employment Tribunal and Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) awards, there is no minimum value before a claimant can use an HCEO.
The new regulations include a requirement to send a seven-day notice of enforcement to judgement debtors, an increase in the time delay between seizure and sale and how peaceable entry may be effected.
A second series continuing with a team from The Sheriffs Office, contained fifteen episodes which aired daily (on weekdays) from 14 January to 1 February 2013 at 11:00am.
A total of four episodes, containing highlights from the first and second series, broadcast at 7:00pm between 22 and 31 July, being shown on both Mondays and Wednesdays.
The seventh series, which commenced filming in October, aired on BBC One from 12 March 2018.
