Stupid Ironside

Following a discussion in North regarding a TV detective themed fancy dress party (which was purely hypothetical), we somehow ended up creating our own character. After all, EVERYONE can't go dressed as Ironside. It'd be a fire hazard.

Knowing that every TV detective these days needs some sort of schtick, we put our heads together and came up with a homeless detective. Imagine all the adventures a homeless detective could get up to. He could witness all kinds of crimes from his curbside vantage point; rapes, murders, old men exposing themselves to young girls, more rapes, people selling industrial secrets... it could go on for 7 seasons easily. Unless somehow people get sick of watching a show about a homeless man who sees a lot of people getting raped.

Also, in traditional 'flawed hero' style, he's a mean drunk who used to have a gambling problem. And he hits women. Today's youths will really identify with a character like that.

Success.
