A trailer for Charlie Brooker's detective show spoof A Touch of Cloth has been released.
The promo for the Sky1 series features John Hannah's DCI Jack Cloth and Suranne Jones character DC Anne Oldman chasing after a hooded criminal known as 'Crossbo'.
While Hannah quickly runs out of breath, Jones continues pursuing Crossbo accompanied by a live steel band, pulling off a stream of elaborate stunts and manoeuvres along the way.
Brooker previously told Digital Spy that he considers A Touch of Cloth to be "a silly, old-school spoof of the dark British detective serials".
"[It is] just Airplane-style daftness," he explained. "The inspiration there was just to entertain."
Julian Rhind-Tutt (Green Wing), Adrian Bower (Mount Pleasant), Navin Chowdhry (Teachers) and Daisy Beaumont (Star Stories) also star in A Touch of Cloth, which will debut on Sky in August with a 90-minute special.
