Quality Polis: Pakora and a Dead Body
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Officers McGregor and Toshan munch pakora from a curry shop they suspect is a gangland front, then arrive at a living room where a man lies apparently shot in the head. While waiting for the detectives they drip chilli sauce on the body, swap shoes with the victim, pull off his prosthetic leg and fret about the DNA they have left everywhere. When the bloodied man sits up, the pair flee screaming that zombies are real, and the 'victim' concludes he just fell and banged his head before helping himself to the abandoned pakora.
The funny people
Meet the cast. 3
Say it with us
Highly quotable.
If the kitchens are clean, it's run by gangsters.
I'll just mix it in with the blood.
Because all your DNA will be all over it now.
