'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
8.7m didn't have a clue what was going on (especially the significance of that photo of two women - and were in denial that family-loving Kate is now gay)
The rest said that they understood the plot - but were completely wrong.

Ah the plot
Well you see it is now sometime since the last series and well its like this er,...um
Just give 5 minutes
Oh alright a few hours so I can watch it a few more times!
,
I guess the mystery woman in the photo is the (current) chief suspects mother (or older lover, aunt, best friend etc etc)
And not sure it has been established that Kate is gay (or bisexual or pan sexual or anything else!)
I don't normally binge watch bit I did watch series 1 to 5 sometime last summer
Wish I had watched it last week now!!
Recognised some of the links to previous series The useless superintendent from one of the earlier series who can't make a decision to save his life (hasn't he been promoted?)
The suspect with learning difficulties
The missing freezer ( for those who haven't seen the episode and say "What freezer?" all I will say it has been in previous series and you wouldn't want to cook and eat the meat inside!).
And more
Liked Ted Hastings comment telling Steve their meeting was over

No "Mother of Gods". "Sucking on diesel" or "Feller" from Ted yet but there are still six weeks to go.
Looking forward to seeing this plot unwind.

The missing freezer has turned up in the current series of Unforgotten, we’ll find out who it was next week so you can save yourself 5 weeks of watching Line of Duty

We already know who was in the freezer. But Ted Hastings and go don't.
I hope it hasn't been moved to sell on E Bay. If so,someone is going to have the hell of a shock when Hermes drop it off!

Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
I did watch but have forgotten all of it. I think I need to start again! Pretty unremarkable so far.

Unremarkable?
Must have seen a different show to me.
Still, we all have different views

Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
I found the interviewing of the chap with learning difficulties really hard work. I know the BBC like to be diverse but it was excruciating.

Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
I liked that keeley Hawes in very little make up in the series shown recently
Fantastic actress and stunning looking lady
-
Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
Could other TV shows have a good percentage of the dialogue unattainable to average viewer (CHIS - shouldn't it be CHIZ to be said the way it was?) or is there something special about this one?

She's up there with Francesca ***** and Joanne Whalley as my ladies of choice. Did you see her in Tipping the Velvet with Rachel Stirling ? Blew my socks off and practically everything else too.

Agreed she is a fine actress but after a while I get fed up of her miserable demeanour. A bit shallow I know but hey ho.

Don't get me wrong, I love Line of Duty. But as a starting episode there was little in it I thought. The series with Keeley Hawes was the best, series two I think? I think a lot more will be revealed next week, it did the job of wanting to see more but without really revealing anything, but tasty stuff yet.
Isn't it Vicky McClure's character that gets put in the frame? (I was going to say gets fingered but thought better of it). And that senior policewoman, the Chief Constable , is definitely H.....or maybe not?

As first episodes go, it's definitely the tamest so far. Even Ted is a shadow of his former self.
I don't believe that Jed Mercurio has run out of ideas so I would imagine the series will be a slow burner. The real Ted will return, soon !

It's all a bluff - as was Kate's defection to normal coppering in MIT because of being hacked off with Ted's inappropriate behaviour. In the fullness of time, it will transpire that this was a double bluff to get her into MIT - the double bluff being that she told her DI that she had been in AC12 - mark my words. Ted will be sucking diesel before long too.

Shes stunning and is getting better with age , yes that was great
Lilly Langtree Francesca an English rose
Joanne Whalley in a kind of loving ❤

Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
Watched the first episode last night.
It was ok (Mrs fell asleep, as it was confusing & slow)
Lazy writing though, as they used the diversion tactic (betting office raid), in the last series (car crash with child)
Methinks the writer has run out of ideas
His 4 part series, Bloodland (I think) was a rushed ending as well
-
Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
Maybe the slowness of the episode was partly due to the series being stretched to 7 episodes, when it was originally written for just 6?
I love it though and can't wait for the next episode.
-
Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
I loved it.
Originally I only watched series 4 and 5 when they were on TV but the last month or so I've binge watched them from 1 to 5.
First episode was slow but it has to build.

That's how I read Kate's situation but if you, me and possibly millions of others think the same it can't possibly be right can it ? Too obvious and I'm a rubbish sleuth at the best if times. If it is true, Ted and Kate must have a good reason for keeping Steve out of the loop, unless he's a suspect too. Tune in same time next week !

After the touchy-feely hands bit, is there going to be a bit of one-on-one, between Kate and her boss (yes please) :hehe:

Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
Weird isn't it that 9 million views is a lot these days, whereas back in the 80s it's have been a lot more than that.
Also weird that some people cocking around on computer games get millions more views than that

One day the BBC will be gone and we will have no option but to pay for that shite

So much more option these days, all the channels plus amazon prime, apple TV, Netflix etc

Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
Just watched the 2nd episode of the latest series, hoping it would improve. Got to say the acting, the dialogue, the 'plot' - all way below the standard now available on Netflix etc. Compared to something like The Queen's Gambit it looks like something Channel 5 would put on in the afternoon. The BBC have plugged this enormously but it's poor, like so much of the stuff on there. £150 to watch the news !

I agree, I am a fan of the series generally but this one is slow. Obviously lots of sub plots appearing , as happens with LoD. But I do think as you say the standard is now below other series, like Queen's Gambit etc. It looks like a series that has gone one series too far. And the actress playing the DCI, Kelly McDonald, I think is really poor. Still there is time to get better, we 'll probably be surprised over the next few weeks but I guarantee it will have a weak ending like to one with Thandie Newton. Where Ted says to her 'I put it to you that you.....' and she answered 'Yes I did'. The End.

Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
I really enjoyed it. I don't think it is up there with things like the queen's gambit etc but I don't think it ever has been that sort of level. Just a decent entertaining Sunday night show to have on.
-
Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
The best series was the one with Keeley Hawes as Denton. Pity she got killed off as her character had plenty of mileage in it. This latest series is slow by comparison but, as often happens, it may be a slow burner.

Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
Missus watched it, I didn’t, gave it an hour last week but annoyed her playing a game of guess what the acronym means.

They had to kill Keeley off, because she is in everything else :hehe:

Re: 'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers
Its okay , feel its a series too far , early stuff was very good especially the Keeley Hawes era , their is too much staring and posturing going on for me , in my humble opinion its not as good as Unforgotten with the ever excellent Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar

Agreed Unforgotten seems better. Was contacted by Amazon about 6 months ago strongly marketing two books by Jed Mercurio.
I purchased both and they were both rubbish.
A lot of series (such as Badlands) clearly written with another series in mind so the ending purposely leave you in limbo.

Bodyguard TV series was dreadful , only got viewers due to the intrigue around the love affair and Keeley Hawes seems to get the blood pressure up .
