| Synopsis: |
Police Inspector Raymond Fowler is in charge of the uniformed
police officers at Gasforth Police Station. They include the
very camp Kevin Goody, Constable Gladstone and brainy Constable
Habib. Fowler, who is an old fashioned policeman and does everything
by the book, is in an unsatisfactory long-term relationship
with Desk Sergeant Dawkins. The yobbish CID, lead by the bitter
and constantly complaining Derek Grim, clash constantly with
the uniformed officers with whom they must share the station.

| BSG Review: |
"The Thin Blue Line" is regarded as one of the best
sitcoms to be made in the 90s. Although only two series were
filmed it is well remembered and much loved thanks to a brilliant
cast and Elton's clever scripts. Atkinson gets to deliver more
trademark put-downs, Dreyfus does a brilliant job of acting
camp and David Haig excels as the wonderfully upset Grim (a
character which in our opinion is one of the best in sitcom
history).
