“Only god or a large bag could do that”

I’m living for the day I can get to say this to someone.

Interesting to note Rowan Atkinson's style here; the facial expressions and body language of Mr. Bean, yet the language and laconism of Edmund Blackadder.

This comedy was crammed with talented comedy actors.
Next to Atkinson, David Haig was hilarious as Grim.

This is a seriously underrated show. Ben Elton’s writing is top notch and RA as brilliant as always. His facial expressions say more than a thousand words.

If Rowan Atkinson wrote the insults, he is a grandmaster in insults.

The hard work of writers and actors is so out of this world. They make it look so easy.

"This town is a human nest. If you were an ant, would you consider it a matter of hymenopterous civil liberties that a socially dysfunctional worker ant be allowed to keep a pet anteater?"

"If it was securely muzzled and tethered, yes I would."

"Then clearly you are quite mad, Grim"

I love these shows. It’s a truly brilliant series. It was a truly fantastic time for British comedy.

Recently binge watched this on YouTube, what an underrated show

The Chief todger of my lodge. The Brits are so damn funny. I'm going to start calling mine that.

[Amadeus-mslt]

Inspector Grimm is the best part of the show.

[Yes-tvbc]

It seems that everytime I listen to a Rowan Atkinson sketch, my political views are altered more than they are after having a deep political discussion with someone smarter than me

[jaymfom]

Grim is my best character in this sitcom. Perpetually angry! 😂😂😂

[jackreid]

Man who doesn't wanna be a wizard because it's too powerful, is exactly the person who should be a wizard!

" Tell him to go and by some plimsoles" ..Thank you 👍😁

😂🤣😂 When you look at how unwired Grimm is I wouldn’t trust him or his Chief Todger with a butter knife let alone a gun.
