Phil's Top 14 Comedy Series - Part Nine

6. The Thin Blue Line

A follow-up in many ways to the Blackadder seasons, 'The Thin Blue Line' told the story of an imcompetent police force in Gasforth headed by Raymond Fowler, played excellently by Rowan Atkinson, who is oblivious to the needs of his long-term partner and the idiosyncrasies of his fellow officers.

Though only running for two series and twelve episodes it could have been so much more but that's possibly why it is so solid as, like 'Fawlty Towers' it came to a conclusion in its prime.
