As the COPPER who comes a CROPPER!

Comedy

Norman Pitkin wants to be a policeman like his father was, but he fails the height test (amongst others). One day he gets out his father's old uniform and "walks the beat". This leads to a level of chaos that only Pitkin could cause

VIBE

A whirlwind of British farce where a determined underdog hilariously blurs the lines of authority. Expect escalating absurdity and a charmingly chaotic spirit that leaves you in stitches.
