Top London cop, PC Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is good. Too good. And to stop the rest of his team looking bad, he is reassigned to the quiet town of Sandford. But Sandford harbours a dark secret and only Nicholas Angel (with a little help from bumbling PC Danny Butterman) can root out the evil and restore order.

Merchant's house has gone up in flames with him in it. The team are discussing the tragedy outside.
Dr. Hatcher
I told him several times. You shouldn't eat late at night.
Doris
I dunno, I quite like a little midnight gobble.
Walker
C*cks!
Clip 2
Angel is reminiscing about his childhood dreams of becoming a police officer.
Angel
It all started with my Uncle Derek. He was a Sergeant in the Met. He bought me a police pedal car when I was five. I rode round in it every second I was awake, arresting kids twice my size for littering and spitting. I got beaten up a lot when I was young but it didn't stop me. I wanted to be like Uncle Derek.
Danny
Sounds like a good bloke.
Angel
Actually he was arrested for selling drugs to students.
Danny
What a c*nt.
Clip 3
Danny and Angel are discussing Eve, the local thespian who is, perhaps, screwing George Merchant.
Danny
Hey, now you come to mention it I too have reason to believe she favours the older gent.
Angel
Really, how so?
Danny
Marcus Carter's big brother said he'd fingered her up the duck pond.
Clip 4
Angel and CID are discussing Merchant's horrific crash.
Wainwright
What you thinking? Foul play?
Angel
Maybe.
Wainwright
We're just hoping to speak to the last people to see Mr Merchant alive, namely Sergeant Knickerless Asswipe and Constable Fanny Batterbum.
Clip 5
Angel is trying to provide Danny with some guidance on being an observant police officer.
Angel
Okay, what about this guy? Ask yourself why's he got his hat pulled down like that?
Danny
He's fu*k ugly.
Angel
Or, he doesn't want you to see his face.
Danny
'Cos he's fu*k ugly.
Clip 6
Angel has little difficulty in conveying his feelings towards Skinner.
Skinner
Sergeant, I wanted you to know that if I do indeed now own the land belonging to...
[Sighs]
...belonging to Lesley, that I intend to turn it into a memorial garden in her honour.
Angel
Mister Skinner, what you do with your land is of no concern of mine. So...
[Blows a loud raspberry]
...jog on!
Clip 7
Danny has won a large stuffed monkey which he's carrying with him in the rain.
Wainwright
This ain't the city, Mister Angel. Not everyone's a murdering psychopath. It's high time you realised that. You AND your monkey.
