Did you used to slam the chief's door whenever he'd given you a dressing down in his office? Live on a diet of cwoffee, cigarettes and whisky? Would you perhaps, travel 80mph on the motorway if you wanted to get somewhere quickly?
Sadly, his partner was killed in a drug bust gone wrong, which is why he pulled a sicky and went undercover as a drug dealer at the Tunnel in Glasgow to track them down.
It must be annoying for him for that voiceover to describe everything he's doing, and saxophone music every time a sexy burd turns up.
It must be awful when he has an argument with the wife and she keeps saying "For the last time - it's me or the Force"
...but she'll be wearing sexy lingerie when she accuses him of being married to the force before bursting into tears and throwing herself onto the bed. ...cut to exterior, rain, Dev lights a smoke, stuffs his hands in the pockets of his trenchcoat...
.... and a sexy young lady emerges from the darkness into the gaze of a streetlight. She approaches dev and asks him fo a light. The saxophone lilts gently in the background and Dev, being such an expert, notices a look of profound melancholy in her eyes. He asks her if she is o.k and she, in turn, asks if he has time for a coffee. As they hurry down the windswept and rainy street the lilting saxophone is now joined by the gentle plucking of a cello...........
...but he knows it can't work, his wife even with her alcohol problems needs him, and of course there is the job. Always the job. Suddenly, his arch enemy TFWNN appears...
Quick - someone copy this thread to the BBC - me Gambol and Jip are going to be rich! I hope dev's got a trenchcoat.....
As he approaches the sexy young lady looks toward Dev with absolute horror in her eyes. "You have to save me from him - he's making my life a misery" Dev looks confused and then suddenly comes to a startling realisation "is your name Jen?" he asks. Cue the pounding of drums
To be honest I think Dev might be a bit old for this role. He can play the old timer, the seen-it-all-before steady-Eddie who is 2 months from retirement when he's tragically gunned down. We need someone younger, someone ruggedly handsome to play the lead. Acworth maybe?
