'The line of duty'...

Yes I was completely gripped toox

Very good! The placing of the glass so that it ended up in the police canteen...very clever!

Yes! Just watched it as I forgot last night and watched CSI instead!

It is very good,and well cast except for Neil Morrissey, I don't think he's right at all.

I agree, Ella - and how could a policeman with a walking stick be able to be involved in an 'armed response' situation ?

With difficulty green

It might be a loaded walking stick.....

Or a sword stick? I think theyre illegal!

I thought it a little slow to begin with, but am getting well into it now. I`m another who thinks that Neil Morrissey is mis-cast.

I think Neil Morrissey is miscast too and agree a policeman with a walking stick would never be part of an armed response situation. Very clever stuff about the glass ending up in staff canteen yes!

One of those series where it's impossible to like anyone in the cast! Wonder how it will all be resolved this week. I really enjoyed other series by Jed Mercurio, particularly "Bodies".

Something worth watching at last during mid-week.

Really enjoying this too apart from the throat slitting it gave me a bad dream!

My husband enjoyed this but I honestly found it nasty and so full of cliches. It reminded me of all those silly 'compositions' I used to do at school where I had got carried away with the story and could not finish it in time so would put 'and then I woke up'. Was not a patch on the amazing series last year with Antony Sher and Rafe Spall - Shadowline?.

I thought it was a great story, and I have a horrible feeling that it might have a little truth in it. Watching 'The Killing' tonight, and that as far as I can see is the last of the decent thrillers on t.v. for a little while. All Olympics now, we recorded quite a lot of films which looked to be half decent, so that if the weather is bad we can at least have something to watch other than a sport we are not interested in. Having said that we shall probably get caught up in everything that is happening.

Really enjoyed it - superb acting and a great story line. However, thought the ending was totally unsatisfactory.

I thought this last episode was very disappointing, and a bit confusing too.
Was it supposed to be based on a true situation?
Bit of an anticlimax.

Ella I believe so. The acting was very good, especially the young gang member. At the end, I pitied Tony Gates. He'd made a right balls-up of his life. His family loved him. I felt that he loved them too. Perhaps he felt that there was no way back into their affections.

I've just realised how late The Killing is on tonight, PRINTMISS. I'll be falling asleep at 11.40 so I might have to watch it on Catch Up

A very pessimistic and cynical end to the series though - doesn't add to our confidence in the police, does it? Viz other thread on "thug in police uniform"

meriotgran, why not record The Killing? I always record it because I go to bed at about 10 30 p.m. There are quite a few good programmes on later all of which get recorded, if we don't catch up, we just delete them.
