Part one tonight, part two tomorrow (ON SKY, DOWNLOAD IT.) WRITTEN BY CHARLIE BROOKER. Looks a bit like Police Squad only not as good. Might be good!

 

[The Tomtrek]

MAYBE I WILL OKAY.

 

[Cassie]

I like Charlie Brooker.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Wasn't John Hannah in that silly Spartacus thing you liked?

 

[Cassie]

YES. You would have liked it too

 

[Fuddlemiff]

It's not silly, it's excellent!

And this show's on Sky so I'll probably never see it.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I said "download it" in the opening post and everything!

IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

 

[The Tomtrek]

I really liked that.

 

[headvoid]

I thought "touching cloth" was a euphemism for needing to have a poo?!

 

[Gagh]

It is - Charlie Brooker wrote it, remember!

 

[The Tomtrek]

"Touching, Cloth."

 

[Gagh]

It's clearly a play on that phrase, in my eyes.

 

[CaptainWacky]

You're coming apart at the seams, Cloth!

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Someone asked him about it on Twitter and he said it was deliberate.

I've currently borrowed 66.5% of it.

Saw the first episode and really enjoyed it. The gags are very much in the vain of Airplane!, but in the world of the detective drama.

 

[CaptainWacky]

The second part was good too.

Spoiler

I liked the Boss character so was kind of sad that he was the killer and won't be the boss anymore.

Modern Lesbian Milk is actually a brand in China, FWIW.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Did you Google Todd Carty?

 

[FBI parte due]

Hah, not until you mentioned it.

Did I miss some kind of joke with the fruit thing?

 

[Gagh]

I watched the first two episodes. On the whole, a great pastiche of police and detective series. The corny cloth puns were actually quite funny, and each time the dramatic drums thumped as the camera zoomed in on the graphic dissected remains if the murder victim, I laughed my arse off. Gore voyeurism for the sake of it!
