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?

I liked that keeley Hawes in very little make up in the series shown recently

Fantastic actress and stunning looking lady

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.

Nicola Walker is a class actress ,everything she appointed is class.

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.

Unremarkable?

Must have seen a different show to me.

Still, we all have different views

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.

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)

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
