* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ralph is a very nice, calm person, but he will snap and yell at anyone who insults Ted.
** A good example of this is when Ralph is out shooting in the grounds with Clive, a fellow landowner. Clive keeps insulting Ted (including picking on him for being Irish and expecting him to do menial jobs like cleaning his shoes), and Ralph visibly gets more and more tense and irritated, before finally snapping:
---> '''Ralph''' (Screaming and grabbing Clive's jacket): LEAVE HIM ALONE! LEAVE! HIM! ALONE!

Added DiffLines:

* ActingForTwo: Invoked with ''Monkfish & Monkfish'' where John Actor plays both Inspector Monkfish and Inspector Monkfish, parodying the BuddyCopShow where the pair of them are assigned to the same case and both demand that the other make them a cup of tea.

* BlasphemousBoast: In ''Monkfish, M.D.'', he claims that "God doesn't heal people, I do."

Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName: Not Monkfish himself, but he's portrayed by an actor with the incredibly fitting name of John Actor.

None

Added DiffLines:

* CatchPhrase: He has a couple of recurring ones:
** "I'm in charge here" is often used when he arrives on the scene.
** "[Title] Monkfish, to you" when someone simply refers to him by name.
** "Put your knickers on and go and make me a cup of tea!" is always directed at female characters, the first instance of which is to ''the murder victim's grieving widow''.


Added DiffLines:

* DoctorJerk: In ''Monkfish M.D.'' and ''All Monkfish Great And Small'', Monkfish brings his distinct tough, uncompromising persona to the job by being the biggest asshole he can be.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Typecasting}}: Invoked. John Actor plays Monkfish exactly the same way, regardless of his profession.

* ActorExistenceFailure: Invoked, defied, ''and'' PlayedForLaughs. John Actor himself dies at some point, but that doesn't stop the BBC from using his corpse for a posthumous role in ''[=McMonkfish=]'', where he plays a tough, uncompromising, [[Series/{{Taggart}} dead Scottish detective]].

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After yet another session of Toni boasting about his success with women and the amount of numbers he has in his little black book, Paul asks "Is that why your wife left you?" The response is a silent, cold glare from Toni.
