The Boys in Blue is a 1983 British comedy film directed and written by Val Guest and starring Tommy Cannon, Bobby Ball, Suzanne Danielle and Roy Kinnear. It is loosely based on the 1939 Will Hay film Ask a Policeman, which Guest co–wrote. It was the final feature film that Guest directed.
The film is about two policemen who have failed to make any arrests and are threatened with dismissal; they begin to invent crime to justify their existence.
