A Touch of Cloth

2012–2014 · 3 seasons

A rapid-fire spoof that piles on silly gags and police-drama clichés, feeling like a knowing, joke-dense send-up.

Tagline: Cloth is coming to wipe away crime.
Overview: Hannah plays DI Jack Cloth, who is called in to investigate an apparent series of serial killings alongside his new partner, DC Anne Oldman, described as a "plucky, no-nonsense sidekick". Playing with the cliches and conventions of British police dramas, subplots include Cloth dealing with visions of his dead wife and the bisexual DC Oldman coming to grips with her feelings for both her female fiancee and Cloth.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, cynical and dark. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Crime, deception, mystery, death
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence and gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
