One of the great features of Sky Plus is that it can automatically record every programme in a series. So now that the Paramount Comedy channel is showing The Detectives, we will probably be able to see all of the 30 episodes of the five seasons that were made between 1993 and 1997.
Starring Jasper Carrott and Robert Powell as the two inept and bungling detective constables and George Sewell as their unfortunate Inspector, there were also guest appearances by numerous well known personalities. The latest included Bill Oddie in an early and fictional role as a bird watcher. The comedy is basically stupid, but the delivery and the interaction between the two stars make it incredibly funny. Well to me anyway.
