30 Crime Shows - the Socks titles as a Buzzfeed list

Because it can't hurt to promote the show, I just made the 30 titles (see if you can spot the latest one that I drew to make up the number) into a Buzzfeed list. (Though I am finding the more I tweet and facebook promo material, the slower the sales go up!)

30 Crime Shows That Should Never Be Made

The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre’s new comedy show about crime is called Minging Detectives (at Edinburgh Fringe this August). But you should see the titles they rejected (illustrated by Beano artist Kev F)…
