Every British Detective Show Ever

xaritomene:

Murderbait: I am all alone. Oh, it’s you.

Murderbait: *squelch*

Murderbait: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! *dies*

Murderer: *is unseen*

CREDITS!

Main detective: *sits sad and alone in their barren life*

Pathologist: I have unlikely details for this death.

Main detective: I SMELL MURDER. I will solve this murder because of my sad past and my dead wife/child/cat/former sergeant/parent. The fact that solving this murder is my job has no bearing on my decision to solve this murder.

DCI: THIS IS CASE IS NOT MURDER. NOW OPEN THIS GARDEN CENTRE.

Main detective: THIS GARDEN CENTRE IS THE KEY TO THE MURDER.

Tortured Sergeant: I am unsure but over-educated.

DCI: You are both ridiculous smh fml why am i in charge of you

Main detective: THIS UNLIKELY SEEMING CLUE IS THE KEY TO THE MURDER

Tortured Sergeant: I am flirting with this third person to further the investigation.

Person: *dies*

Tortured Sergeant: I am more tortured than before!

Main detective: I WILL SOLVE THIS NEW MURDER. AND THE OLD MURDER. AND ALL THE OTHER MURDERS. MURDERS ARE MY JOB but not that way.

DCI: This might now be murder but i still hate you both. Out of sheer spite i am suspending you both from the case and handing it over to this peon, your incompetent arch-nemesis. I am great at police-work.

Main detective: …fuck that.

Tortured Sergeant: *broods*

Main detective: Come, tortured sergeant, we have a murder to solve!

Tortured Sergeant: *brooding intensifies*

Main detective: THIS PERSON IS THE KEY TO THE MURDER!

DCI: Oh fuck everything.

Pathologist: This new information changes everything. Also maybe I should have noticed it earlier. My bad lol.

Main detective: OH MY GOD THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Main detective: I will go and investigate this by myself without back up. That’s a SUPER idea. There is literally no way that this can go wrong.

Murderer: hi

Main detective: CURSES.

Tortured sergeant: *broods*

Main detective: little help please?

Tortured Sergeant: HOLY SHIT THE MURDERER.

Murderer: I did not factor getting caught into my schemes. Alas. I am foiled.

Main detective: You’re booked, mate.

DCI: that should not have worked out well. the paperwork is all yours. also, i still hate you.

The most dangerous thing any character in a movie/tv show can do is look towards someone out-of-shot and say “oh, it’s you.”
