5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate collection of one of the best comedies ever., 21 Jan 2001
By A Customer
One of the most refreshing and funny situation comedies ever. Written by the talented Ben Elton and featuring a superb cast that really bring it to life, the series features some memorable peformances and moments. Although I've watched the series again and again on television, I didn't hestitate in buying this complete collection to keep and to watch it again, as it can still raise many a laugh. If you're a fan, it's probably a must, but if you've never seen it before the chances are you'd find the first episode so good, you'd be pleased that you've got all the others to follow!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Thin Blue Line hits the spot!, 6 Nov 2000
By A Customer
At last, the whole of this brilliant sit-com in one box set! The "Thin Blue Line" between order and disorder is the police of course, but at Gasforth Police station it is practically invisible!

The characters are so funny that it is difficult to pick a favourite! Rowan Atkinson is brilliant as the bungling Inspector Fowler who spends more time upsetting his partner and colleague Patricia than catching criminals. Who can forget him sticking his up the lady mayor's skirt and proclaiming "there could be a number of innocent reasons why an Inspector might put his head up the Mayoress's skirt!".

The plain clothes squad (which consists of one other officer!) are led by DI "GO GO GO!!" Grim, an idiot of a man who firmly believes that an "ism" never hurt anybody! He hasn't got time for "namby pamby hoity toity" liberals who treat people with respect. This guy didn't just watch "The Sweeney" he thinks he is in it! Constable Habib once proclaimed that she thinks he has been taken over by "an alien from the Planet Burk", and Inspector Fowler, proper as ever told her to have respect for rank.

The most refreshingly "PC" of all the PC's is Constable Goody, played fantastically by James Dreyfus. There is genius in Ben Elton's writing as Kevin fits every gay stereotype going, and yet we know that Goody is hopelessly in love with Maggie Habib. PC Gladstone, on the other hand, is hopelessly in love with Gloria Hunniford, and he probably has more chance with her than Kevin has with Maggie!

According to Ben Elton, Rowan Atkinson is currently "getting around to thinking about making another series". I wish he would get around to it a bit quicker! The "Thin Blue Line" is easily the best sit-com (and with the best theme tune!) to have emerged in the last five years or so. The issues are just as relevant and funny now.

So I would recommend this video to anyone. If you weren't a fan before you soon will be! But don't forget to "mind your Curly Wurly"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Sensational Slice Of Fun, 6 Aug 2002
By A Customer
When you are depressed, stick on 'The Thin Blue Line'. You'll come out of watching with a big cheesy grin on your face and feeling on top of the world. This is far better than any anti-depressent pill, courtesy of Ben Elton, Rowan Atkinson and of each cast member in the show. You won't find another comedy of this calibre anywhere in the world, so get hold of it while you can. Rowan Atkinson will keep you laughing all the way, and you'll be holding your stomach muscles in pain of laughter, truly, with his brand of unique humour as PC Fowler, who can use the scripted words to marvellous effect. PC Goody, Habib and Dawkins all help with the outpour of brilliance these programmes have to offer. You won't leave the screen feeling short- supplied. You'll actually be gagging for the next series Rowan Atkinson is planning.

A couple of weeks ago, I was feeling very low. When my mother put this DVD on "to cheer me up", I was at first very dubious. Read more
