Mel Smith: DI Thomas

Quotes 

• DI Thomas : [to Robdal]  I was never really like you, Fred. I mean, you got a reputation with the fairer sex. Well, I have as well, but not the one I wanted. Poor libido, very poor. Occasionally I've managed something that passed as passion, but a lot of women mistook it for a fit. So, this has been my lot for the past 20 years. Police stations that smell of onions, barrister's dandruff, hung juries, and a lazy lob.

• [DI Thomas is questioning Freddie and Gerald about the jewellery robbery in Margate] 

  DC Stanton : We have an eyewitness to the robbery.

  Freddie Robdal : Really? And who might that be?

  DI Thomas : At this juncture we're not willing to give you any information about our eyewitness: whether it was a man or a woman, old or young, married or single. Absolutely nothing.

  Gerald Kelly : Why have they taken so long in coming forward?

  DI Thomas : Because him and his wife have just got back from a spell in the rest-home.

  [DI Thomas realises that he has just given away far too much information]
