COP COMEDY The Thin Blue Line, 8.40pm, Yesterday

SIX years after Blackadder Goes Forth, writer Ben Elton and star Rowan Atkinson reunited for this police comedy, which begins a repeat here. It’s not as clever as Blackadder — it’s more of a traditiona­l sitcom — but Atkinson (pictured) is great fun as the gaffe-prone Inspector Fowler.

What unfolds from there is a deft mix of comedy and drama, which turns poignant when you least expect it.

FAMILY DRAMA Hollywood Heights, 9pm, Nickelodeo­n

THIS glossy U.S. series is showing on a children’s channel, but at a time that clearly pitches it to an older audience. At its heart is aspiring singer-songwriter Loren (Brittany Underwood), who meets her pop idol — an encounter that changes them both. (Sky 604, Virgin 712)
