Some of the funniest British comedy ever, 5 September 1999
Author: Bubba-98

The Thin Blue Line is some of the funniest british comedy ever.This show stars Rowan Attkanson the man behind the very funny Black Adder and the really stupid Mr. Bean. The show is all about the comic misshaps which take place in a police station giving a very funny look on the life of a police officer. Another good thing about the show is that it spawned the very funny Mark Addy of the Full Monty Crew.It was a shame that this show was cancelled because it is one of the best british comedy I have ever seen.
