07 Come In (Polish: 07 zgłoś się) is a Polish criminal television series broadcast on TVP from 25 November 1976 to 25 May 1989.^[1] The series consists of 21 episodes, divided into five seasons, filmed in 1976, 1978, 1981, 1984, and 1987, respectively. It combines elements of action and police procedural genres.

Background[edit]

Directed by Krzysztof Szmagier and scored by Wlodzimierz Korcz, the series centers on the investigations of Police Lieutenant Sławomir Borewicz (played by Bronisław Cieślak), who solves a different case in each episode.^[2]^[3] The show was loosely based on the novel series Ewa wzywa 07 (Ewa calls 07).^[2] The title of both the novels and the TV series refers to "zero-seven", a police radio call-sign used by Borewicz. The show shared a number of similarities, and one complete storyline, with the comic book series Kapitan Żbik.^{[citation needed]}

Despite being widely considered a work of propaganda aimed at warming the image of the "Citizen's Militia", the series proved highly popular in Poland and even gained a cult following. Critics called it "one of the biggest achievements of Polish crime drama",^[4] a "raw and realistic response to James Bond",^[5] and "the most popular Polish police series ever".^[6]
