Agreed. Watching this for the 12th time this week.

David Haig was perfectly cast as Grimm 🤣

[@pinkpanther7030]

He is hysterically an hilarious moron and I love his ingenuity 😋

[@YourCreepyUncle.]

This show has aged like fine wine. People didn't think much of it at the time - myself included - but I've since come to realize how great it is.

[@f0urstr1ng]

Never found it funny in the slightest. Quite enjoyed that clip though so maybe you’re right. That said I’m not about to start binge watching it anytime soon

[@samwarrender7171]

Which for a Ben Elton comedy is really saying something

[@sarahholland2600]

I thought the Detective Grim character & the gay trainee character outshone Atkinson in this. All the other characters were very weak & not very funny.

[@langdalepaul]

I think it’s because comedy is so dire these days.

[@samosullivan1744]

Love David Haig in everything! So underrated!

[@cmc6040]

He's brilliant 👍

[@N_Loco_Parenthesis]

Easy to forget we had a cop comedy long before the yanks gave us Brooklyn Nine Nine.

[@samstevens7172]

JónLeifsFan and we gave you Barney Miller before this. You’re welcome.

[@ViscountAlexOfTheHorsePeople]

Police Squad and the Naked Gun movies predate Thin Blue Line.

[@iwatchwithnoads7480]

@@ViscountAlexOfTheHorsePeople Naked gun has reused jokes and is racist. Police Squad is ok

[@defaultyorker6096]

I think B99 pays a slight homage to TTBL with a Mr. Boyle and a Raymond.

This was a brilliant series which should have continued ,David Haig playing Inspector Grim was utterly brilliant in his role & eventhough the rest of the cast were good , Grim was the star of the show

[@andynightingale7335]

Derek Grimm was a great character. They all bounced off each other really well in this. I liked it a lot.

[@siontimmy1]

I feel the series and it characters have been lost in the shuffle talking about best comedy shows and characters if they had 2 or 4 more season it definitely push it way in the conversation in top 10

[@madcatguy6]

What a little gem! Beats any of the bollox that they call comedy these days! Ben Elton is a genius and the entire cast was perfect for this show!

[@Trellous]

A comedy YES, true to life, YES. The relationship between the uniform police and detectives is so close to the truth. Best police series on the telly.

[@peterrebelwithoutamenopaus6962]

Thin Blue Line. Absolutely brilliant comedy, especially the first series as Kray as Grim's offsider was superb. He went on to greater things and was replaced in Series Two. I thought all the characters were superb, but Fowler, Grim, Kray and of course PC Goody were standouts. And poor Pat, Fowler's girlfriend. Brilliant all.

[@SimonTurrill]

And this is proper comedy

[@THEJR-of5tf]

They are very underrated. and very funny.

[@michaellopez6568]

I'm pretty sure Habib's laughs are not scripted.

[@MrZiffos]

Brilliant series - bring it back I say.

[@sp19822]

This is probably the first thing I saw with Rowan Atkinson that was not Mr Bean. This was aired in Australia in 1996.

"Diputs loof"haha

Habib at 0:17 just makes my day.

[@rufusgoldstein2655]

I loved this show. It had a "Barney Miller" feel to it.

[@markwaters7215]

I’m surprised he didn’t ring scotters !

[@jameslong3509]

Can see the Dad’s Army connection. Except this in peace time. Patriotic but not always competent leader (Mainwaring>Fowler). Internal civil war (Mainwaring to Hodges> Fowler to Grim). “Stupid boy” (Pike> Goody). Old-timer whose tales go off-topic (Jones>Gladstone). Dawkins has a similarity to Mrs Pike with her romantic notions. Although by the 90s, wasn’t frowned upon for unmarried couples to live together.

[@andrewnaicker5090]

So it's pretty clear that they rewrote the whole whiteboard at the cut just after 2:28, just as we go in for the close-up. Can anyone work out why? They didn't make the writing particularly neater.

[@eldoh3388]

Reshoots after they'd already cleaned the board.

Comedy gold.

*"My arse will be on the line"...The Thin Blue Line! 😂 LOL Get it? 😅 I LOVE Rowan Atkinson a.k.a. Mr. Bean, Blackadder and PC Raymond Fowler in The Thin Blue Line. It's literally no wonder he's such a popular comedian. Rowan Atkinson is a GENIUS if you ask me! 😆 Good luck, take care and enjoy yourselves, everybody! 😆👍✌*

[@MacNuada]

King Arthur being Anglo-Saxon? Nope. Welsh, yes. Anglo-Norman and French, yes. I know a lot about Arthurian lore, extends back to Roman-Britons, borrowed or stole a lot from Early Irish literature, and the French came up with everything the English put in later works.

[@rekonener2362]

The irony is that today, those students could still get in big trouble for that, as it very much still sounds like a threat, even if just a prank. I mean, there are plenty of cases online of being maybe alleged joke threats against people online and getting an interview with their local terror officer.
