RedEyedGhost Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I've watched the first two episodes, and I'm loving it so far. But it does kind of boil down to people doing stupid shit to stay out of a sticky situation that would have complicated their life for a time but not derail it I mean sure Tandie went over to confront the guy, but he pushed her, thought he killed her, and when she woke up she's on plastic with him firing up power tools to dispose of her body! Anything she does to protect herself at that point would have been completely justified! Why flee the scene, with his laptop, cover up that she was ever there, and then tamper with evidence in the police lock up?? You're just making a bad situation so much worse! Really looking forward to finishing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm halfway through episode four how the hell did Steve survive that?? The way his head landed,and the pool of blood surely indicated he was a goner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red snow Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Thandie Newton is definitely having a good year with her perfomance in West World. She's become an A list TV actress - wonder if this will bring her juicier roles in movies? She was pretty damning of UK TV in an interview saying how it's really hard for black actors to get roles due to the current obsession with period dramas which doesn't provide much in terms of roles. Although she must be pleased with Line of Duty at least. speculation for series 5 including series 4 spoilers I wonder if her character will turn up again? Usually if they don't die they turn up again although in this case it might be too similar to what happened with Keeley Hawes character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncalagonTheBlack Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Line Of Duty to start filming fifth series in autumn 2018 Quote The excellent Adrian Dunbar (aka Ted Hastings) was caught on the red carpet by the Radio Times, saying: "We’ll be shooting the next series at the end of this year, some time in the autumn, so sadly we’ll all have to wait until 2019 to find out what happens to us all. I haven’t seen anything, Jed hasn’t told us anything, we’re all keeping our fingers crossed that we’re not bumped off." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red snow Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 2 hours ago, AncalagonTheBlack said: Season 5 starts filming in Belfast in September. the erratic scheduling of the BBC. It's good they are allowed to do at their own pace but we got 3and4 within a year and now what looks like a 2 year wait for 5. Hopefully they film 6 pretty much back to back.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Guns are drawn in new Line of Duty | EXCLUSIVE TEASER - BBC Line of Duty | Series 5 | BBC.Jed Mercurio's Line of Duty returns in 2019! Quote The fifth series of British cop show conspiracy thriller, Line Of Duty, isn’t due on our screen until next year so we weren’t expecting the BBC PR wheels to start grinding until later in year. Not for the first time we were wrong. This appeared on the BBC’s Twitter feed this morning: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 I suspect we'll be getting a lot of "from the creators of "bodyguard"" in the lead up to this. Line if duty has always done well but they'd love some of the attention bodyguard has received. Isn't that the actor who played Al Capone in "boardwalk empire"?

Jen'ari Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Sorry I messed up the quoting somehow on my phone. @RedSnow personally I think Line of Duty has been a much better series than Bodyguard, it’s one of the best things the BBC does, along with Luther!, which I think is coming back soon too. Bodyguard was good but it wasn’t amazing, also just something I feel that should be cleared up- Julia Montague would not be granted admittance to the Death Star.

RedEyedGhost Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I'm through three episodes of Bodyguard, and I agree that Line of Duty is better (so far). Will finish it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodyguard is more of a summer blockbuster while Line of Duty is more of a, well, really well executed long form TV story. I can see why one grabbed more audiences than the other although I'm hoping the BBC gives Line of Duty a similar timeslot and push now they know the creator can grab huge audiences. They need to stick the other seasons on Iplayer well in advance too. Hell, I'd like to rewatch the first two seasons again at least before the new one airs.
