The Thin Blue Line (1995)

Concept and creative process

Titles for ‘The Thin Blue Line’, a sitcom set in a police station, starring Rowan Atkinson and written by Ben Elton. The specially shot title sequence reflected the standards required of the force in an introduction to the main protagonists but hinted that things do not always go the way Inspector Fowler (Rowan Atkinson) would like. The credits were well visualised in the style of the police uniform letters and numbers and computer-generated as lower third straps.
