"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.
