OT: No Offence - foam

[Chris J Dixon]

The somewhat graphic misuse of an expanding foam aerosol featured in the final episode of this series, the outcome being a little more serious than an overfilled canoe and ruined jumper. ;-)

Which series?

[PeterC]

Lot less messy than AG or chainsaw!

[Chris J Dixon]

No Offence.

'No Offence'

He was certainly foaming at the mouth, but I'm not sure why his chest ballooned in that manner.

Put me right off Crunchies.

Never heard of it! What channel is it on, and when?

[Clive George]

Channel 4, and for the past 8 weeks. Available on demand now, though possibly for not much longer.

I thought it was pretty good. I expect people looking for realism will have complaints though.

[A.Lee]

It isnt new, it was probably copied from an episode of CSI New York from around 5 years ago.

[tim.....]

which was not, IMHO, an unreasonable expectation given that it was originally billed as a "procedural" detective series

Possibly a mistake - it's definitely not a CSI. Rather better for it though I thought.

Which canoe?

[Weatherlawyer]

I was in a waiting room recently and they had a huge screen showing afternoon TV. Not having watched TV in years I was amazed. Words can describe it. None worth using though.

There was a case some years back where an Irishman crossed some Dutch drug dealers. His younger innocent brother got caught in the crossfire and had expanding foaam applied to both ends of his body. Doesn't bear thinking about

This canoe

Repeated with a few other comments involving 'young lads and shovels':

[Brian-Gaff]

The usual unapproved use is to silence burglar alarms of course. Brian

[tim.....]

Yes, I started to watch it and gave up after the toilet jokes.

It's one thing trying to make a quality spoof detective series (E.g. Vexed), but simply using it as a vehicle for base humour is not for me

YMMV (mine did)
