12 Days of Christmas Specials 7: The Thin Blue Line

I think that The Thin Blue Line has become somewhat forgotten in recent years, and that's just not right. It really is a classic sitcom, so why not remind yourself by enjoying this Christmas Special. And a word to Gold - please repeat this show!

A look back at The Thin Blue Line

The Thin Blue Line is not quite as well known as it once was, but it is my belief that it deserves to be remembered as a classic sitcom.
