The Amazing Line Of Duty starts again tonight

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Jimmy Lakewell told Steve Arnott to 'look into the race claim'.

Race claim is an anagram of Carmichael, minus H.

Detective Chief Supt Patricia Carmichael is back on the scene and tried to bury Ted and AC-12 before?

Surveillance had been stopped without Hastings knowledge.
That's why they all took 7th Cavalry action and maybe do come to the rescue.

And who stopped the surveillance...

Carmichael.

Thinking of watching from my sickbed on catch up? Is it worth it?

Absolutely.

 

[worsleyweb]

Absolutely.

cheers - do you need to have watched the first series as well?

 

[domalino]

Carmichael.

Felt that was really clumsy to be honest.

 

[Two Gun Bob]

May start watching again as we both did series one and it was OK
Then we started series two and the lead lady messed up a transfer of some prisoner and a few bods got taken out.

Fast forward to a police station near you and she went tearfully to the toilet to gather her thoughts and then half the police station waded in a gave her a bitch slap.. Really ..as if.. and what a load of regurgitated bollocks and we would sooner have set fire to our toes whilst watching 10 episodes of the Bill back to back such was the lameness of this script.

Maybe it gets better .. so time permitting and when the sunshine is no more we shall have another sniff.

Defo, if all stems from it. You would be gutted to miss the first three series, especially when Keeley Hawes enters.

Brilliant.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Yep, but it set my radar back on that Carmichael is the one to be watching.

She plays the part brilliantly, too.

Yes

 

[Indaparkside]

Makes me laugh them what say it’s shit but still watch it

It’s brilliant mate. This series has not quite been the very best yet IMHO, It’s still better than 99% of TV programmes.

Is there one or two episodes left? Trying to wrap it up in one episode seems a bit hard.

As above + will the last one be a longer one like they done in the past?

 

[crublue1]

Yeah start from the beginning as there are loads of call backs etc later on.
Get well soon

2 episodes left, they would normally only do 6 episodes but we're being treated to an extra episode this time.

I think the storyline has dragged and there are a lot of holes in the story but it's still a fantastic watch that has me gripped and desperate to see the next episode.

There have been some really gripping foreign crime fiction series - the Bridge (Danish/Swedish) being my favourite. But because you read it rather than listen, I think bad acting/plot flaws are less exposed. You don't have time to question those bits because you're reading the whole time.

Hastings is class. Fantastically over the top and passionate. And the cameo's throughout the show have been top class. Carmichael coming in and instantly cancelling the observation (for budget reasons) could turn out to be a bit lazy from the story writers if she is a bad egg. Everyone is immediately suspicious of her. And Tolmie has blown my mind with that anagram!

There’s 2 on my sky plus it said Sunday’s just gone was 5/7

From memory think previously we have had extended 6th episode.

It absolutely needs to be watched in order. There are links from series 1 right through every series to the current one. Also we've found watching it recently all the way through again is helpng remember those threads. Another brilliant series.
