cmontheloknow Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 All of Jack Docherty's scenes are dreadful. The pomposity of the character is a joke that goes flat after one outing each episode. More of fat cheffie from Gary Tank Commander! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm really enjoying this series- lots of great characters in an original mix of mockumentary, sitcom and sketch show that works brilliantly in its context. I like Jack Docherty as Police Scotland's David Brent figure- it's a good joke, although not terribly original. My favourites are probably McLaren and Fletcher, who are both complete numpties. I also enjoy good cop Singh and eejit cop McKirdie and their capers, and Ayrshire cops McKay and McIntosh, whose partnership is the best-acted- so subtly-played that it's hard to tell whether it's an awkward professional relationship or a blossoming "will-they-won't-they" romance. My only big complaint is the "Bobby and Officer Karen" which quickly became tedious. Not all the content is laugh-out-loud funny but all the characters are so interesting that it's OK just to hang out with them, and that's a great achievement in itself. I can already see myself missing it when it's off the air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Felt Episode 4 really picked up. Really enjoyed it. Even Jack Docherty didn't annoy me as much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Nobody watching series two then? I think it's pretty funny, especially Grado v Roisin from River City on last weeks episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Nobody watching series two then? I think it's pretty funny, especially Grado v Roisin from River City on last weeks episode. Slightly better than the first series but still pretty pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm still watching it. Haven't really changed my opinion though. It's ok, no more, no less. I quite enjoy it, parts of it are quite amusing, but it doesn't really get you laughing out loud and parts of it are cringeworthy and forced. It amuses me enough to Sky+ it so I don't miss it but if the series stopped tomorrow it wouldn't bother me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The programmes funny but it really does miss the potential of being proper funny as f**k. They need to drop the Bobby scenes and the call centre scenes. Only tonight I finally laughed at the "special" cop. That shagger copper had me in stitches. He's fuckin hilarious and last week he was class tae! Definitely need for Grado scenes as well The Bobby scenes are quite funny and I like the call centre ones too. Agree with the rest of your post though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The Bobby scenes are quite funny and I like the call centre ones too. Agree with the rest of your post though. I really like the Bobby scenes. The voice over script is cracking, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Way, way too much of Jack Docherty in this series. Liked the reference this week to the guy the traffic cops lifted in series 1 for flogging booze out of an ice cream van as that IMO was one of the best sketches across the (fairly patchy) show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Agreed. Chief Inspector is easily the character that makes me laugh the most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
