Goody Punches a Racist | The Thin Blue Line

Goody and Habib are in trouble after punching a skinhead.

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.

Rowan Atkinson either plays a bumbling idiot or a dead serious intellectual and there is no in-between and I love it

Everybody gangsta until Rowan Atkinson raises his voice.

I have never seen Rowan raise his voice like that. His acting is beyond excellent here. You can see from Mina and Kevin's faces that the comedy has faded for a moment and their superior looking like an angry father giving them a lesson.

If you notice, the show did actually tackle serious issues but they did it so hilariously that you kind of had to work to notice it.

"The boy has swastikas tattooed on his arm! What did you expect him to do, give you a chorus of _Ebony and Ivory??"_

Rowan’s character really was the original Captain Holt

[JnEricsonx]

Rowan Atkinson being pretty much dead serious. Now that's some shit I've not seen before.

[susanorchard]

Not often you hear Rowan Atkinson raise his voice. Wish that he would be offered more serious parts because he is a good actor. He was brilliant as Chief Inspector Maigret!

I have absolutely no idea why this is suddenly in my recommended suggestions, having not seen the show for probably 15+ years. But I’m glad it was; now I want to rewatch this criminally underrated show.

[Johnno]

The Thin Blue Line's so underrated.
One great thing about it is how it blends the comedy and some drama together. Of course, keeping in mind that it's not only a sitcom, but it's also a police show and in police shows, you do expect serious situations i.e. in another clip where Habib finds that her sister has smuggled weed and hides it to save her, but gets herself in trouble with her fellow officers.
Ben Elton and the actors handled it so well.

YouTube's algorithm is buck wild. Don't know why this got recommended to me but I am going to watch it. Looks decent.

[Old.Man.Of.The.Mountain]

This does make me wonder if Rowan Atkinson should have played a few more serious roles here and there...

[CactusCowboyDan]

Not often you hear Rowen raise his voice like that.

He'd have made a good staff sergeant at boot camp.

[LuckyGuu]

this is an extremely good show and should never have been cancelled early!  Inspector Grim always steals the show!

[caesar]

One of the best scenes in the series has to be when Constable Goodie comes in and says "we've got the new ER, sir!"

[brandon-clivekyle]

Rowan Atkinson should consider taking on serious roles, he would be brilliant in them if he brings similar commanding performances to the roles.

Inspector Fowler can sure lose his shit when he’s angry!!!! Great acting from Rowan Atkinson in this scene!

[blockmasterscott]

“What did you expect, him to give you a chorus of Ebony and Ivory”?

Good lord, that made me laugh a good long time, that was so funny.

[TheRealRehman]

The Thin Blue Line walked so Brooklyn Nine Nine could run.

[browsertab]

That was really impressive - the transition from comedy to drama was well done. '90s British sitcom, you surprise me.
