Rowan Atkinson starred as Inspector Raymond Fowler in this Ben Elton-created series set in a cosy British police station in the fictitious town of Gasforth, populated by a group of half-witted caricatures.
Notable characters included James Dreyfus as camp PC Kevin Goody and David Haig as bitter DI Derek Grim.
The script was mostly composed of half-witted inanities and seemingly the reject material from Blackadder (“Don’t snivel like a Frenchman who’s caught his baguette in his bicycle spokes”).
