How it feels
A detective with personal problems and his colleague solve crimes in a parody of British police procedurals. The show makes extreme jokes and uses silly wordplay to mock the genre.

What happens
A Touch of Cloth is a British television comedy series created and written by Charlie Brooker and Daniel Maier, shown on Sky One. A parody of British police procedural dramas, it stars John Hannah as Jack Cloth, a police detective with personal problems, and Suranne Jones as Anne Oldman, his colleague. The title is a play on the title of the detective series A Touch of Frost and the British expression "touching cloth," a euphemism for a desperate need to defecate. The DVD of the first series was released in the UK on 3 September 2012, and the second and third series were released on 1 September 2014. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
