i show my age but i loved bergerac back in the day.ies come back. so mindhorn is a 19805 tv detective but is more like alan partridge or garth marenghi. in the 19805 he played mindhorn with a bionic eye to see the truth. the actorjulian barratt plays him. he's now washed up, balding, doing adverts for orthopaedic socks. he's desperate for a job. then the isle of man police get in touch and say, "we have a suspected serial killer who has been ringing us and will only speak to mindhorn, the fictional character who he believes is real." so the police say, "will you please come and play mindhorn for us to help us catch him." immediately, thorncroft thinks this is a career—reviving opportunity of which he is going to make the most. here's a clip. 0k, here's a list of prompts, so stick to script. and avoid any of these trigger words. "insane, nutjob, mental." blah, blah, blah, the usual stuff. is this the phone? that is the phone. great. yep. that's going to be ok. actually, if you could just keep it in its cradle until... sure, just connect
