Line of Duty

As the earlier series are now being repeated on BBC4 very late at night, they are coming up on the i-player again as soon as they have been shown. Episodes 1 and 2 of series 1 were on TV last night and are now on the i-player, with 28 days to watch them.

DH and I sussed the UCO half way through after first falling for the red herring. It took me a while to work out what UCO stands for.
Love this programme and have followed it since series 1

I’ve just watched series 1 in two days, fabulous can’t remember seeing that series before. Then I will proceed through the rest of the series before I let myself watch the new series. I love binge watching, couldn’t bear to go back to watching things once a week.

I do think that you need to have watched this from the beginning to really get into it now. Luckily my daughter alerted me a few weeks ago that it was on the i-player and I got totally hooked on it - waching two or three episodes at a time. The story line with Keely Hawkes was particularly gripping. I haven't watched a lot of TV for a couple of years but think it's brilliant - totally hooked!! I would have like to waited until the current one was finished and watched it then but don't think I could avoid spoilers from friends and newspapers!!

What the heck is all this alphabet soup about UCO and OCG (don’t bother telling me I ll forget) no wonder I couldn’t get into it it’s another language I’m sure that s partly why I couldn’t relate to the story line I m taking so long to work out what they are talking about
I m going to try watching it again before I give up because I can’t see what I m missing Neither myself or my daughter have watched past series but I presumed it was like others and told a story in its own right in each series so didn’t expect to find it so difficult
Perhaps I ll come back and say yippee I get it now

I don't want Hastings to be the baddie either, I like his human touch. It always takes me a couple of episodes to get into the swing of these dramas but I enjoyed it last night.

Good Tv for a change.

Loved it! The only problem is that DH won’t believe that I guessed the ID of the UCO in the OCG (I’m well into this). Who knew you had to say it out loud for it to count?

I am very very late to this as I've never watched this before. It was a good drama and I shall try to pick up on what is going on.
Those abbreviations baffle me too.
I watched it because Vicky McClure is a local girl.

OCG - organised criminal gang
FAO - fire arms officer
SCD - serious crimes department

I think it was a tracker in Maneet's phone.

Did you spot the kid from series one who put Steve's fingers in a vice? He's grown up now and in the OCG.

Hooked straight away.Only thing i don't like is the use of abbreviations when they are talking about people or senareos i loose track of what it is they are talking about!!! lol.

Watched it. Thought it was a bit unbelievable. Would the woman cop have stopped the whole lot for a 1 vehicle incident? Might have left one vehicle or ordered one officer to get out and help. Everyone? No! The thing was a bug wasn't it? To either record or track calls.

littleannie thanks for info.

I watched last nights episode, bit confused as I have never ever even watched one episode so I suppose I.m watching it back to front in a way.

What was the thing inside the mobile phone?

(although don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't caught up with it)

I guessed early on about that paddy it was too obvious for it to be the woman #proudofmyself

I enjoyed it too,good wee twist at the end ,,I didn't see that coming

Don't forget, the earlier series are being repeated on BBC4 starting tonight at 1 o'clock. Maybe they will be on BBC4 i-player so you can watch them at a more civilised time !

Another here who enjoyed it, isn’t it a good thing we’re all different?

Don’t be sorry it’s not your fault I didn’t take to it
There’s plenty of other dranas coming up I was just surprised
I d spoken to my daughter earlier and she was going to watch it and we crossed text post at the end both saying ‘didn’t like that’ yes I m surprised as everyone on here seems to love it
Never mind

Aaawwwww Bluebelle sorry about that and really surprised

Well I didn’t enjoy that at all don’tthink I ll bother with next weeks I was looking forward to it after reading how great the previous ones were but it didn’t do it for me

Thanks so much- I will be recording BBC4 from 1 am.

That was great but even more importantly, I followed it?

Wow that was so good. Roll on next week

OMG!

Here you are
