A POLICE MAN IS BEING INTERVIEWED BY A SENIOR POLICE MAN.
SENIOR
Constable Ivor Truncheon. H,ows that camera helmet we issued you to cut down on you thumping people, working out?
POLICE
Very good sir. No footage of me truncheoning toe rags what so ever. And I've still managed to apprehend 3 suspects.
SENIOR
Yes; Ronnie Corbett, Gary Coleman, and Tom Cruise. How tall are you Constable?
POLICE
7 foot sir.
Is this sufficiently obvious?
Has he been kicking the short people?
The last two lines of dialogue are pointless. It would be obvious. Unless it was meant for radio.
I didn't find it funny either, but maybe I've completely missed the crux of the sketch.
I was thinking more of flailing down on them with a truncheon from above
Maybe it would work better if he was kicking suspects instead of using the truncheon (flailing from above would show up on camera would it not?) then at the end you could have him request a new pair of regulation loafers as his old pair are scuffed/embedded with teeth.

SENIOR
Yes; Ronnie Corbett, Gary Coleman, and Tom Cruise. They’re all in casualty with truncheon wound to the top of the head.
POLICE
I know sir I had to use a mirror to aim my truncheon.
The practical issues of beating short suspects wit out having to look at them.
