It's the best series I've watched in - well as long as I can remember. Brilliant cast, great writing, complex plot lines with complex characters - what's not to like. It's edge of your seat excitement. Please - don't let Ted be a Bad Guy, he's one of the few hero's we can (and do) love.
If you want to catch all the previous series on i-player you will have to be quick, as they expire in a few days. If you can get hold of a copy of today's Daily Mail, there is a summary of all the main action for all the series, which should jog your memory if you haven't got time to watch it on i-player.
If you miss them on i-player, they are all being repeated on BBC4 next week, though it is very late at night. Not sure if they will then be on BBC4 i-player for a month as well. If you have Sky or similar, you could of course record them from BBC4 to watch at a better time!
Thanks littleannie I have a hard driver recorder, will look for them on channel 4 next week as not up to sitting up burning the midnight oil tonight thanks for the info.
Never watched any of these but going to put it on my "list of things to do"
Oh myyyy gosh lol what world have I been living in (obviously sheltered) lol didn't realise there has been 5 series!! lol I thought this was the second series I may be gone for some time! don't expect me back until around 2025 lol (rolls eyes)
I’ve been catching up and just reached the end of series three which (imo) got a bit daft towards the end. Without giving anything away, if I’d arranged a pick up point to escape, I’d make sure it was a darned sight closer so we didn’t have to have the obligatory and very dangerous armed chase through urban streets. The thing I enjoy most about this programme is the fast-pace and forensic intelligence work. Very cleverly plotted. Is George Costigan cornering the market in vague, sleazy characters? My favourite police show is Scott and Bailey (in which he also appeared) with Line of Duty now coming a close second.
Bikergran- and when you have finished watching the repeats on BBC4, don't forget the new series 5 starts tonight on BBC1 ! I have just finished watching all the earlier series on i-player, all 23 episodes, as it is a few years since I saw them. I watch on my tablet with my earphones on. My husband says he has never had such a quiet week!
