I just had the pleasure of watching all five series of The Detectives. What a joy it was to watch too. For some reason I had thought this sketch was actually from one of the episodes in the series and couldn't understand why I missed it. I had forgotten The Detectives started life as a sketch in Jasper Carrott's show LOL. Ah, if only they made Comedy as good as this these days.
I agree 100% And this is better than that cock in a frock. Mrs brown's boys. That's 100% torture watched Mrs browns boys. But these two idiots have you in stitches. 1000% And you never know whats coming next.
Watched this throughout my teens and loved it I would watch it again. Sad that it's never seen many if any re runs unlike many other great shows e.g red dwarf only fools and horses dads army etc.
The big surprise with the detectives and what made them hugely popular at the time was Robert Powell’s performance as know it all Dave. Powell had been a straight actor his entire career so sending himself up was great fun. Carrot was Carrot of course.
There would be situations that arose where I would say "more oxo". Nobody understood, and for the longest time I thought I'd just dreamt this whole thing. Hurray for the internet!
The cops must be well warned not to touch anything in a drug raid, touching fentanyl can kill and there’s stories of American cops in the past touching LSD and tripping for ages.
That foot through the door is one of the funniest sight gags.
So criminally underrated. Probably one of my top 5 sitcoms
This wasn’t from the sitcom
Love how the theme is done in the style of 'the sweeney'
I remember this sketch when they first did it, bloody brilliant!
My favourite Detectives sketch ever!!

Id love a t-shirt that says ‘more oxo’ on the front and ‘back to the nick’ on the back to see how many get it 🤣
Absolutely brilliant comedy as everyone said don't make them like this anymore
I remember watching this the first time around and oh mate I was crying with laughter like I’m now 😁💯
I loved this programme, had me in stitches.
My favourite one is when they get sent to search lorrys 🚚 at customs for diamonds and end up stranded in Amsterdam. Funniest comedy of the 90s
Love the detectives, classic comedy
I really miss these sketches and TV show. The 90s really did produce some great comedy
Finally I see it again , thank you , one of the bestest tings ever :)
Absolutely one of the funniest sketches Iv ever seen
Gets me every time, my cheek bones hurt for days after from laughing so much
More Oxo cube lol. They just don't make comedy like this anymore :)
they all did a really good job on that show
Absolutely brilliant.
Laugh? I nearly shat myself......another Oxo.
The perks of detective work... 🤣🤣
Getting stoned off your tits?
Puts his foot through the door and then pretends like it didn't hurt hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
The intro was great
I watched tis with my dad years ago I was crying laughing, he looked at me wondering why I was laughing so much
A moment of silence for those who watched the entire series for this scene, but didn't find it....because it's a sketch 😁🤣
Me ✋
Brilliant love this
classic! :)
Love this 😂
Where can you even watch all the episodes again?
I had forgotten this series and how funny it was. Nothing funny on tv now.
