The Detectives started out as a series
of short filler sketches in Canned Carrott,which was a comedy sketch
show
starring and written by Jasper Carrott,which ran for two seasons in the
early 90's.
The sketches led to their own show
shortly
after.
Dave Briggs (Powell) and Bob Louis
(Carrott)
are bungling detectives under the command of Superintendant
Cottam,constantly
under stress from their incompetant antics.
Robert Powell,usually a more classical
actor,did a great job as the sarcastic Sgt.Dave Briggs,as did Jasper
Carrott,as
the even dimmer Sgt Bob Louis.
A great series,which ran for 5
seasons,with
2 Christmas specials
