A Touch of Cloth

[SexyGreyFox]

I actually laughed out loud quite a few times - very good.

 

[Pighardia]

"I want them on my table cloth!"

 

[Participant]

The grand daughter being comforted...can't blame the rozzers in question.

 

[Castiel]

I thought it was obvious and a bit disappointing. I won't bother with the second part. The Forensic chick was hot though....

 

[atpbx]

Suspect has never been found dead before.

 

[Duff-Man]

Well I thought it was brilliant.

Ridiculous, over-the-top, and pokes fun at every cop-show cliche known to man

I thought it was obvious and a bit disappointing.

...I don't think subtlety was its intent!

 

[Castiel]

...I don't think subtlety was its intent!

Quite, it is just not my kind of humour, not that it was bad exactly, only that you could see the punch line before it happened, basically it was just not my thing.

Very true, and fair enough

It was right up my street though, so I enjoyed it.

 

[realBabelfish]

turned off after 5 mins. utter tripe and so contrived and forced. it actually felt very painful. odd as i like brooker as a writer and when he is on panel shows etc... shame.

 

[Evolve]

"Any prints?"

"Just Purple Rain and lovesexy..."

 

[DiCe!]

Missed this, will try to find it, looks great!

 

[grimm]

I thought it was good

I guess you've got to like that sort of humour though. You can definitely tell Charlie Brooker had a hand in it.

 

[Participant]

It was basically hot shots but with British police.

 

[MR_Punk]

For what it was it was brilliant, tongue in cheek and just a laugh. Will look forward to more!

 

[ci_newman]

Watched this last night, enjoyed it

 

[Doohickey]

I just watched this tonight, amazing. Charlie Brooker is an awesome writer, as always.

As spoofs go this is right up there with the best, e.g. Airplane! With the extra little Brooker dark touches, and incredible attention to detail. Actually probably the best spoof I've ever seen.

 

["andy"]

not to sure on this yet but only got 20 mins in , too much like a zaz film but without nielsen and in 'street' britain

 

[oldbag]

I thought it went on too long, but some of the jokes had me crying with laughter, some were also very clever as you would expect, others were banana-skin.

 

[Azza]

Just watched both now and thought some parts were hilarious. Nearly in tears at some points it was brilliant!

 

[Doohickey]

I thought it went on too long, but some of the jokes had me crying with laughter, some were also very clever as you would expect, others were banana-skin.

I thought it had the right mix of clever word play and silly puns, Brooker's trademark of mocking cliches, pointing out the obvious, 'alternative' interpretations, and the all silly things going on the background.
