Underrated? Why? It’s too easy to use the word underrated when you like something and think more people should be like you. As it happens, I enjoyed the programme very much and still watch the videos that I bought.
I'd forgotten how good this comedy series was , Robert Powell was a revelation in the role I always found it amusing that he played Jesus of Nazareth and then he was in this with Jasper Carrot, hilarious.
The grass is Paul Barber, known for playing Denzil in Only Fools And Horses. I like to think he's playing the same character, making this a crossover. The Detectives also crossed over with The Paradise Club (remember that show?) and Bergerac, so it's quite possibly deliberate.
I watched this with my Mom, she always watched everything that was actually Funny! I always Loved the way he called Jasper "BOB". If you know you know.

'Serious actor' Robert Powell was brilliant in this series.
Yeah, RP played Jesus of Nazareth
He's also got a huge cock
U r avin a giraffe
I could never take his acting seriously after this , hilarious.
He is brilliant period one of the most underrated actors ever
Such underrated show just brilliant tv😊
Loved this show. George Sewell was great as the boss as well. It should be back on tv instead of some of the current "comedies".
I agree, but George Sewell sadly passed away in 2007. I don't think it would be the same without him.
This is still hilarious. Brilliant show.
This series was so funny please put put back on tv
The most underrated comedy ever...
So true

It was written by Steven Knight and nobody has ever heard of him ridiculous.
Absolutely class show. The Cup Final episode is superb
Brilliant these two

One of my favourite comedy sketches ever. Monkey dialogue has me in hysterics every time.
I loved this show.They where so thick .It was so funny. 😂
"And what's your name?"
"Olivia"
"I know you live here"
Louis & Briggs were beyond stupid!
This series was gold, Carrott and Powell just smashed it.
He dropped quickly from a Monkey (£500) to a pony (£25).
Should have gone down to a Ton, or at least a Bullseye
Yeah but he only had a score in his sky...
The muts
Love them got all of them on dvd still.
I absolutely love love loved this programme...it was fabulous....
I loved this series, first episode I ever saw was "Pilchards" Laughed like a drain and was hooked 😆😆😆😆
I used to love watching this growing up..
Big ron from eastenders and denzil from only fools and horses.
And Jesus from Jesus of Nazareth
I loved the episode when the detectives attempted to play golf.
My grass or elephant's have not been rumbling
This was the funniest show around.
Robert Powell,the first famous person I ever saw, on a street in London! Many years ago!
Great series carrot at his best

Also, I believe George Sewell was in a series called ‘Special Branch’, lol.
I understood everything 🤣 I must be a cockney w***er! No surprise to anyone who knows me 🤣👍
That show was written by Steven Knight and he did myriad of other good stuff but nobody has heard of him.
“Peaky Blinders” has a following!
They must have had to do so many takes! Cracks me up every time, especially coming from London paraents!
The actor who played the boss was in an episode of the sweeney
Brilliant
Very good my old son such a mockeny my old trout and troll box
Love to see Dushane and sully do this sketch. Being on the other side. Be classic!
A pair of merchant bankers. 😂
Made me chuckle, great team 👍
Priceless....
They must have been in hysterics off camera!
Jesus of Nazareth brought me here!
“We caught him by the bollards…”
A right giraffe, that.
Uno the apple get ot down y greg easy rider me ol china
Pure gold!!!
We are Detective. 💓💓💓💓💓😛😛💓💓💓💓💓
I loved this show. One of the funniest eps was when they used a tape recorder during an interrogation.
George Sewell was brilliant 😅
He wanted to put a monkey on a dog at catford,priceless.
A pony on a dog at Catford
@@momeara7482 Only because they didn't bring the monkey!
‘Jesus Christ!’ … (one IS allowed to exclaim loudly, whenever Robert Powell is seen on tv).
Blindin
Briggs: Bastards...
Lol.
Sooooo funny 😂😂😂
Was this before or after the Smith and Jones Cockney rhyming slang sketch?
Brilliant. Such a shame about the loud canned laughter.
I think it was filmed in front of an audience.
@@helenbryant404 Well, the blokes at the bar weren't laughing.
@ 3:00 It's Denzel !
Is that denzal from only fools and horses
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
I watched this with my Mom, she always watched everything that was actually Funny!
I always Loved the way he called Jasper "BOB".
If you know you know.
Bob Davies - went to my school.
Talking "dropping". ("Dropping a clang": Rhyming slang).
HA HA.
Pork scratchins
What jappened to Carrott?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its the muts
Jesus Christ, Yes!
What episode was this?
It's on Canned Carrott
The met today
Haha. Love Denzel's Liverpool accent
Get off the dog and bone
Jesus Christ.
In the days when comedy was funny
Is it compulsory for someone to make this asinine comment? Every time?
Most of it was slang but not rhyming slang.
Who knew Jesus was funny………. Maybe his Pans Person……….
