Operation Good Guys

‘Operation Good Guys’ was a BBC show focussing on a special police unit set up to bring the notorious criminal mastermind ‘Smiler’ McCarthy to justice for his numerous crimes. Sadly, the team proved themselves not only inexperienced, but also massively inept and the second series saw them humiliatingly demoted to uniform duty and put in charge of less vital investigations. Don’t feel sorry for them though; it was only a comedy series. This spoof fly-on-the-wall documentary thankfully never took itself too seriously, and while not being quite as good as ‘The Office,’ it was a bit better than ‘People Like Us.’ The show was written primarily by Ray Burdis and ...  Read the complete review

Operation Good Guys is one of those shows that'll only appeal to some people, but it will appeal to them in a big way! Essentially making fun of both fly-on-the-wall series, this preceeded the Office, and it also seems to spoof the Bill (although I've never watched that so i wouldn't really know).

Phew! Just what is the appeal of this show?! I can’t see it myself – I find it immensely boring despite having a very respectable cast, few though they may be. The Royle Family – Ricky Tomlinson (Dad), Sue Johnston (Mum), Caroline Aherne (daughter) and Ralf Little (son). All very well known and impressive actors/performers which is probably just as well as any unknowns would probably make this show even more of a crashing bore. The series is currently off our screens (BBC1) I believe but in the last series Aherne’s character married her dire monotonous boyfriend and – Horror! – they’ve started breeding! Oh ...  Read the complete review
