I watched an episode on google video now can't find it anymore and can't even remember the name. But I found it funny. And if I have the name I can probably find them somewhere.

Thanks

Need, never heard of it but try this one from the mid 90s - Operation Good Guys. It's a spoof fly-on-the-wall documentary about an incompetent British police force.

This is part of an episode where a New York cop comes over to Britain to show the British police how it's done when taking a hostage and he goes a bit gung-ho.

Interviewer "TSG, what does that stand for"

Inspector "They dont stand for anything!"


For some reason I can never get more than 3 seconds into anything on youtube, and so will have to wait till I get back to work to try viewing
