It was horrendously dull, apparently. Lots of officers, lots of stand-by time. Action was the least desired outcome: in a good operation the gang would be in the bag with nary a grimace. zzzzzz. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2371#post-7007 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 22:13:58 +0000 StoopyDeGunt 7007@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A new TV cop show that shows the police as they really are has had to be pulled after it was too broing and mundane with no real characters.<br /> "It was like an episode of The Office, without the jokes," said one horrified script editor.<br /> "If that's what the murder squad are really like, I'm bloody glad I live in a gated community locked away from the hoi polloi," said a BBC producer. "In future, I'm going to stick to plot lines and dialogue copied from America." </p>
