You might not let me download it BBC, but I will screen record it instead on my phone. Mwahahaha. Ahem. Yes. That's why it's not great quality but still it needs sharing due to the adorableness!

I know there are several fans of UK TV Police Shows that follow me...

... and if you haven't seen A Touch Of Cloth yet, then I highly recommend it. It's a comedy-drama that highlights all the tropes featured in our favourite UK Police TV Drama shows.

I think I appreciated them even more this time given all the TB binging over the last year! (Not least because there's a shout-out to The Bill in every series too though it's very subtle in series 3)

It's available on Sky and Now TV at the very least (sorry, can't check Virgin etc) and is also available on DVD.

It's also available on Daily Motion - ahem!

Series 1 - The First Case

Episode 1 Episode 2

Series 2 - Undercover Cloth

Episode 1 Episode 2

Series 3 - Too Cloth For Comfort

12.11 Worst Fears

BROWNLOW: Oh, come on, Derek. Would it really be so bad, a return to the way things used to be?

BROWNLOW: Forget the transfer. Stay with me.

A small boy has been abducted and Charles and Derek are reunited.

11.117 Damage Limitation

DEAKIN: For what it’s worth, for my money, we did all the right things.

MEADOWS: Well. Here’s to Jo Morgan. Let’s hope she understands.

MONROE: They’ve agreed not to pursue the complaint. LOXTON: Nice one, Sir! MONROE: If you apologise.

MONROE: All right? LOXTON: It took a bit of doing, Sir. MONROE: And now it’s over. Except that it’s not, really, is it, Steve? LOXTON: Sir? MONROE: You overreacted. LOXTON: They picked the wrong day, Sir. MONROE: We can all keep cool when everything’s going well; the test comes when it isn’t.

Like the episode dealing with the fall-out from Viv’s death, this one focuses on good and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Andrew suggests counselling and Bob says that the choices are drinking with your mates or getting on with the job. June is shown visibly improved after confiding in a friend (Bob) and letting her emotions out, while the final seconds of the episode show Steve drinking alone. No surprise at all that Steve responds with anger and isolation, given that anger’s the only emotion he allows himself and the people who know him best are too good at seeing through his mask.

11.115 All Tucked Up

ACKLAND: I’ve lost everything. I’ve lost my home, lost all my belongings. And if I accept a transfer from Sun Hill, then I lose all of that too, and all because of this bastard? No! I won’t be a victim!

A bit of a marking time episode, but some great June moments and Jim really not helping by mentioning Gordon Wray.

11.116 Bait

MEADOWS: Seiger’s waiting for you at the safe house. ACKLAND: Well, we’d better not disappoint him, then, had we?

Trudie is absolutely A+ in this one. Fascinating how it’s Nick, of all people, who realises that something’s wrong.

Vale, Jo. Sigh. Also Paul Stritch’s final episode, but who cares?

11.114 Fire

LOXTON: It’s just that what you’re saying is, basically, even if Clarke does go down there’s nothing to stop him having another go at me, is there? He can just let everything die down, everyone can relax, and then one day just like today you’ll be walking down the street just doing the job, blam, and half my brains will be out over the pavement.

The delivery of this line is so perfectly Steve. All calm and measured and seemingly emotionless if you don’t take notice of what he’s actually saying. The combination of not wanting to run away—wanting to just get on with the job—and the realisation that he might never be able to feel safe again. That suddenly he’s one of the vulnerable people he’s usually protecting. How do you deal with that knowledge when being strong and stoic is so much a part of who you are? (Ignore it, internalise it, and eventually implode. Going by personal experience *cough*)

And then—“blam”—June’s house gets firebombed and it all just goes away.

I pity the fool who thought they could get anything past Monroe and Uncle Bob.
