I watched to re run of the last two episodes of Line of Duty on playback just to refresh myself as the new series starts this Sunday. Oh my God!!! it was riverting I had forgotten how much, I found myself shouting for Kate to 'be careful' when she was chasing Cotton in the final scenes, cant wait for the new series now. Anyone else watched the re runs??

Christinefrance, it will be difficult to have another series if everyone is right about the guilty ones. They will all be in prison for life.

This morning Adrian Dunbar was interviewed on Breakfast and it sounds as if there may be another series as he was talking about it not all being sorted with regards to the really big players who are corrupt - a line which has gone through all the series so far. Here's hoping!

Oh no, not Paul Higgins, in fact none of the above, now, who is Dryden?

Ah, Mark Bonnar! Possible but he will have to join the queue behind Patrick Baladi and that chap he was with in Shetland - Dougie Henshall. Oh, and Lord Melbourne.

Hands off Rubus Sewell!! I give up my claim to anyone else so long as I can keep him. blush

There is going to be another series!

I couldn't help loving the "Ironside" comment Jimmy made to Steve!

Yes, that was another cracker of a one liner wasn't it gettingonabit. The dialogue has been one of the many joys of this series.
Thanks for telling us you have watched more than once. It reassures me becauseI miss bits. A close friend told me at the weekend, she records it (too dark to watch just before bed) then watches it at least twice!

I may have said before that DD was sitting next to Alan Rickman a few years back years ago at some theatre do. She said she didn't have the heart to tell him how her MUM felt about him ??

kittylester Tue 25-Apr-17 09:57:19

Not just her Mum, Maw, most right thinking mums!!

Not me kitty but then if we all fancied the same kind of looks in a man, not many of us would be married, because there wouldn't be enough of the same types to go around! grin

Iam64 I once found myself standing next to Nigel Havers outside Manchester Art Gallery. Was too overcome to speak!

I must say quickly now that I don't have romantic feelings for Ted Hastings - it's just that he's so dependably uncorruptible. Just like the wonderful Harry from Spooks.

Don't let me get going down the Rufus Sewell route - my knees go very uncontrolled and my breathing gets difficult. But that's nothing at all to do with the brilliance that is Line of Duty (although I did tend to get a bit like that in the first series which starred Lenny James ... sigh)

Can't claim any famous or fit male actors amongst my experience but I HAVE met Vicky McClure aka Kate (Fleming/ Flynn/Foster/Whatever). <preens>.

She's very down to earth and very very slim. envy Not "luvvie" at all.

Jalima1108 Tue 25-Apr-17 15:50:42

So - how does it end?????

gettingonabit Tue 25-Apr-17 18:56:30

jalima I don't think anyone knows how it ends-even the writergrin.

There's a series 5 in the offing and, depending on how successful the series is deemed to have been, maybe even a series 6!

How are we going to stand it? I can't sleep at night as it is, for churning theories around my brain...

By the way, Episode 1 is finishing tonight on Iplayer, so last chance to view!

As you were!

Iam64 Tue 25-Apr-17 19:10:11

This is one of my favourite gransnet discussions. The drama itself is a joy, no matter how dark but the confessions about our secret lusts are so entertaining.

Jalima1108 Tue 25-Apr-17 19:16:22

didn't you ask Vicky gettingonabit?
or are you not telling wink

gettingonabit Tue 25-Apr-17 20:03:22

jalima I'm fairly sure Vicky's not tellingwink.

And no, I didn't ask. Too starstruckgrin.

Jalima1108 Tue 25-Apr-17 23:29:21

Only 5 days to go .....

I'm getting the popcorn in!

merlotgran Wed 26-Apr-17 12:41:57

Sunday night has a lot to look forward to. The Durrells, which is now ridiculous but I still love it, the last episode of Line of Duty and Grantchester on +1.

That's a lot of popcorn.

Do any of you watch 'Hinterland' (BBC1 tonight). I am not sure if it isNational or just BBC Wales. Bit dark and brooding sort of main character. Set around Aberystwyth - I find it sort of'normal' for Wales in that some of the characters lapse into speaking Welsh to each other from time to time (subtitled for that bit). Last part tonight - some dark secret being revealed - suspect it could be Paedophilia within the force.

Ilovecheese Wed 26-Apr-17 13:35:02

Welshwife I think it is just Wales. is it good? Would it be worth me getting a dvd?

gettingonabit Wed 26-Apr-17 16:58:04

ilove Hinterland is on iplayer (or should be). I doubt there'll be a DVD.

Actually, previous episodes may be on youtube. Worth a look anyway. In Welsh it's Y Gwyll. Same thing, but all in Welsh (with subtitles).
