Cuffs has just been added to Netflix after it initially aired in 2015
Cuffs is now on Netflix amongst some other classic dramas, and the crime drama series depicts the lives of front-line police officers within Brighton and Sussex.
The series aired on BBC One back in 2015 and fans were disappointed to learn the show had been cancelled after just one season.
The announcement was criticised by many of the stars and a petition was created in an attempt to sway the BBC, but it was unsuccessful.
Alex Carter stars as PC Lino Moretti, an out-of-shape cop who is proud of his Italian heritage.
Carter is a 43-year-old actor from Oldham who is mostly known for playing Jamie Hope in Emmerdale and Lee Hunter in Hollyoaks.
He has a brother called Bruce, who is in the band The Whip, and both brothers attended the Blue Coat School, Oldham.
The Whip are a rock band from Manchester, with Bruce being one of the founding members.
One of their tracks appears in the soundtrack for FIFA 09, the video game by EA Sports. Their song Trash gave the band wide exposure after it featured in a national TV advertising campaign for Coors Light Beer.
Away from showbiz, Alex Carter presented the Saturday afternoon sports programme Latics Live on The Revolution between 2008 and 2011, being a lifelong fan of Oldham Athletic A.F.C.
In the early Noughties he joined the cast of Hollyoaks as Lee Hunter, staying for four years before his character left to embark on a world tour.
Carter announced his decision to quit the soap in 2005 “to have more free time”, but after a five-year hiatus, his character returned.
He joined Emmerdale in 2006 as Jamie Hope – the eldest son of the established character Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw).
In 2010 he announced he was leaving the soap after four years, in order to pursue new projects.
He told BBC 6 Music at the time: “I’m getting thoroughly depressed because I’m in work every day for about four hours.
“It’s like they’re teasing me because I’m leaving and I’ve got one line. I’m in work every day. It’s driving me mental.”
His latest role was as Jeff in the comedy series So Awkward Academy.
