Straight from the Inspector Clouseau School of Crime Fighting come police partners DC Bob Louis (Jasper Carrott) and DC David Briggs (Robert Powell). They are a pair of bungling detectives who always manage to solve crimes and keep their jobs despite their reliable displays of extraordinary ineptness.
The Detectives began life as a running five-minute item within Jasper Carrott's BBC sketch show Canned Carrott, before sprouting wings in 1993 and taking off as a standalone half-hour sitcom on prime-time BBC1. Now the 'dumb and dumber' partnership could be given added colour, with Briggs as the unashamed ladies' man looking for glamour through police work and Louis his more introverted foil, trying to be conscientious but always managing to do the wrong thing.
Carrott and Powell seemed unlikely candidates for a starring sitcom partnership, with the one primarily known for stand-up and the other famed for a range of serious dramatic roles. Yet Powell especially showed effortless comic timing and their winning chemistry formed the basis for a mainstream ratings hit, spanning five series and a 1997 extended special.
