Habib Rages at Fowler | The Thin Blue Line

Habib rages against Fowler's stance on Goody's assault, but things take a turn for the better.

Welcome to The Thin Blue Line official youtube channel. In this classic police sitcom, Rowan Atkinson plays Inspector Fowler, head of the Uniformed Branch of the fictional Gasforth police station. Fowler is constantly in battle of wits with DI Grim and the Criminal Investigation Department. Created by Ben Elton, the series aired from 1995 to 1996.

This show is criminally (no pun intended) under appreciated.

Oh the irony Inspector Fowler says ”the police cannot choose when and when not to enforce the law” and then he goes ahead and does just that! Brilliant writing!

The opening exchange between Fowler and Habib is so well written and acted.

Fowler happens to be right. If more police commanders adhered to his mindset, we wouldn’t be having the problems we’re having today

[danieldickson]

Fowler is the kind of copper we want. He believes in the law but he also believes in justice, and when those two don't coincide he tries to find a way to make them.

I. find this series gets better with every rewatch.

I just love the point, after a moment of baffled confusion where Fowler realizes how he can get Goodie out of the charges more or less home-free

[TipTut]

Fowler has some serious Vimes energy and I love it.

"I want to press charges" "What happened?" "I'm not telling you anything"

[amitabasu]

Admirable sentiment, and Fowler is a model citizen. Though he should've taken action against the mother at the end.

I can never understand the appeal of Mr Bean when comparing it to this and Blackadder. As talented as Rowan Atkinson is at physical comedy, nothing beats his unique sardonic delivery of comic dialogue! 🤣🤣

[Rincewind]

He is right though, we need the law to be applied consistently to everyone. I am glad they were able to resolve it.

"The police cannot choose when and when not to enforce the law"

[brinhitchings]

the look he gives her after she slaps the lad is better than the speeches he gives 🤣

[sneakyking]

2021...if only the police were so impartial.

[anthonyrussell]

wonderful comedy that addresses genuine issues!

[eclecticx]

Had never heard of this show until today. After seeing some clips, I ordered the DVDs on Amazon. So look forward to seeing the episodes!

[darthkahn]

Fowler was doing the right thing. Words are not violence and hurt feelings do not equate to physical injury. Everything he said about the publics trust in them was spot on. If they cannot be thick skinned and unbaised towards even the most bottom feeding scum then they have no right being officers at all.

Comeon guys, lay off of her already, she is feeling guilty because her collegue is suffering adverse consequences for stickung op for her.
