Summary

Lazarus (Stephen Frost) and Dingwall (Mark Arden) are policemen working for the Really Serious Crimes Squad.

Their chief is a complete idiot, their colleagues are incompetent and they themselves aren't much "cop" when it comes to detective work.

A moderately successful attempt at an 'anarchic' comedy featuring performers well known (at the time) on the comedy club circuit. Arden and Frost were best known to UK television viewers for a series of lager commercials.
