Paul Squire, Esq. Nice to see Kim Fuller there too - and Nick Wilton (who starred in Son Of Cliché) as a writer!
The thing is - even if we managed to get hold of the show, then finding out which bits the Comedy Police wrote would be tricky. But a proper account of their early sketch-writing days should really be written at some point.

It’s in my “big list of articles I need to write”. But it’s easier tossing off a shitty opinion piece than doing proper research. I will have a go at some point, though.
The “Comedy Police” is what the cast used to call Rob and Doug - it’s mentioned in Robert’s The Man In The Rubber Mask.
Ah. That explains it. See, I’ve only ever been able to read things of Robert’s that he’s posted on his [expletive deleted] website. Seriously, I’ve tried getting books of his from the library; I think the librarian had to ask for an inter-library loan from British Columbia, in Canada. (And it never did arrive, either.)
Rob stopped publishing TMITRM on his website at Chapter Two.
I have no idea why.

Seconded. It’d be interesting — wouldn’t it? — to track the growth of that partnership.
Also, please explain the following term for the ignorant U.S. residents (by which I mean me):
Comedy Police
