The Thin Blue Line - Volume 2 [VHS]

Amazon.com Inspector Raymond Fowler (Rowan Atkinson) and his motley crew of coppers return in two more episodes of Blackadder writer Ben Elton's police sitcom. "Honey Trap" finds Detective Inspector Grim in need of a woman. He wants Constable Habib to dress up in her sexiest outfit to entrap a local crook, but Habib is a vital member of Inspector Fowler's pub quiz team and the finals are approaching. Things get even more complicated when Patricia begins to suspect that Raymond's relationship with Maggie Habib is more than professional. In "Rag Week," Inspector Fowler has to deal with misbehaving students and uncooperative bank clerks. Meanwhile Grim is itching to fight some real crime--the sort that requires him to wear a bulletproof vest and shout, "Go! Go! Go!" So when Sergeant Dawkins is trapped in the bank with a gang of armed robbers, he is absolutely delighted. With the building surrounded and snipers at the ready, Grim is the happiest man in Gasforth, until Raymond appears with a pizza.The Thin Blue Line features another wonderful performance from Rowan Atkinson as the infuriating Inspector Fowler, but acting honors should also go to David Haig as Detective Inspector Grim. Grim is bitter, angry, frequently incoherent, breathtakingly stupid, and utterly hilarious. His tirades, fueled by thwarted ambition, provide the perfect contrast to Fowler's plodding faith in old-fashioned policing. --Simon Leake Product Description Best known for his role as Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson is hilarious as Inspector Raymond Fowler in these 2 episodes of "The Thin Blue Line."
