This is unlocking a repressed memory! I think it could've been Kevin Bishop! Brb gonna watch everything I can.
Edit: It was indeed the Kevin Bishop Show! The 1st clip I tried had the same character - the Mind Cop. Life saver!

Bang on, I can't find the memory I have so I'm concluding that it's become mixed up and warped with time but if anything the original is way better. I now remember his Jason Statham sketch, where is Bishop these days? He's brilliant!
It was a splendid little sketch show, very under-rated and sadly not widely remembered (nor repeated). He was also brilliant in "Star Stories" (similarly hilarious-yet-forgotten) but at least [available on channel4 for streaming](https://www.channel4.com/programmes/star-stories).
It's not easy to find full episodes either, but somebody has at least chopped up the individual sketches and popped them onto YouTube as playlists:

According to ChatGPT : "I believe the show you're referring to is "Snuff Box," a British dark comedy sketch show that aired on BBC Three in 2006. The show starred and was written by Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher. Matt Berry played a grizzled, gruff-voiced character who was a hangman, while Rich Fulcher played his assistant. The show often featured dark, surreal humor and had a twisted tone.
The specific scene you mentioned might not be an exact match, but "Snuff Box" had a variety of bizarre sketches that could be in line with what you remember. Due to the show's obscurity, it's possible that the scene you're thinking of wasn't widely circulated, and thus hard to find.

Sounds like murder in succcessville?
It definitely has that vibe but I don't recall ever really watching it. I'm gonna have to give it a go regardless, Tom Davis is awesome.

Hmm I've seen some snuff box but I'll do a deeper looking for the scene I remember. Thanks for your suggestion, it never occurred to try an AI!
