The Detectives - The Complete Collection

The Detectives - The Complete Collection

Accidentally promoted far beyond their level of competence, Detective Constables Bob Louis and David Briggs stumble from crime to crime relying on a unique blend of intuition, hunches and inspired guesses... all of them hopelessly wrong. Incompetent, inept and usually in trouble, these bungling bobbies seem more likely to catch a cold than any Mr. Big, but somehow Superintendant Cottam always finds himself awarding them commendations.

Includes all 31 episodes from all 5 series of the 1990s BBC comedy starring Jasper Carrott and Robert Powell.

First released: Monday 15th October 2018
