"Rosemary & Thyme" aka Flower Detectives.
Jesus christ, how inane does a show have to get before the public think "Hang on a minute" and turn off the tv, go and do something less boring instead?
It appears that Joe Public has an insatiable lust for detective programmes. Preferably nice sunny ones on a Sunday, in a time when everything was happy and even murderers were nice and polite.
And, in an effort to come up with some kind of hit show, it would also appear that the oh-so-clever execs that commission this bilge attempt to combine the ratings-winners into some police related show.
We've had Chef Detective (Pie in The Sky), Magic Detective (that one with the bloke from the Abbey National adverts), Flower Detectives (Rosemary & Thyme)...any show that gets viewers is shackled to some creaking investigative plot to produce "Something-on-another-channel-you-like Detective".
So I predict next summer you can enjoy DIY Detective, Antiques Detective (actually Lovejoy's already done that), Boot-Sale Detective, House-Abroad Detective, Reality TV Celebrity Detective....and, the jewel in ITV24's crown:
Cop Detective.
A policeman who solves crimes in a slightly unorthodox manner.
You can snigger, but we live in an age where a programme starts called "Celebrity Farm".
You can watch such high-profile wunderkinds such as Paul Daniels & Debbie McGee and Vanilla Ice on a farm.
Or, you could just shoot yourself in the face.
I'd watch that.

Hey, leave Magician Detective. He can solve mind bending puzzles man.
What about David Blaine?
Some guy climbs inside a plastic cage and hangs from a crane for a couple of weeks. People gape in awe.
I wonder what people in the third world would make of all this.

That's true, I shall not mock a crime solving magician.
However purile the concept may appear to be. A magician. That solves crimes. By employing his magic knowledge.
Magic Detective.

Johnathan Creek is excellent.

I agree with Borat. David Blaine needs a slap.

If they make something called 'Celebrity Moon Camp' then I might watch. Cheaply made domes on the moon and z-list celebrities seem made for each other.

Ah but that wasn't some fictional tv programme created for morons to watch before bedtime.
That was a real-life slowtalking magician sitting in a box made of glucose.
And, the only time I've ever felt it, I was patriotic as hell during that.
It was nice to see the English employing their loathing of self-worshipping idiots.
What started as drunks shouting "Do a card trick you fat ####", ended up with ever-more ingenious methods of torturing the man.
My favs were a pizza flown by radio-controller helicopter, circling the box and the bloke teeing off from Tower Bridge - using some 13th century bylaw that allowed him to exercise his right to roam and indulge in stick-based sport - the police had to stand by and watch as he thumped ball after ball into the side of Blaine's glucose prison.
Genius.

I'd love to see Big Brother 19.
Where they send the usual crowd of wannabes into the house and everything goes as per usual.
Except none of it is televised at all.
Each person is pretend-evicted, rushes out expecting to be welcomed by a screaming Davina and worshipping crowd.
Only to find a bloke sweeping the car park.
