Looks as gripping as ever! Trailer sets it up as though Hastings may have been a wrong 'un all along, but I'm sure it won't be that straightforward! Apparently due to start on 31st March - presumably filling the Sunday night slot Baptiste will vacate. Can't wait!

Any other fans here?

Funny, Aunti Beeb ain't been ramming it down our throats for the past few weeks as they usually do with dramas.

I watch very little in the way of TV drama nowadays, I don't have Sky or Netflix or anything so I haven't seen any of the "box set" shows everybody's been going on about the last few years.  On the rare occasions I do start watching something I usually give up after one or two episodes.

But I love Line of Duty.  Didn't see the first series, didn't really know anything about it but for some reason I started watching series 2 and got hooked.  It's absolutely brilliant.

Agreed, best cop show I've seen. Best TV show since This is England and Breaking Bad.

Thanks for that - Enjoyed the previous runs so will watch again

Some of the Beeb stuff in recent times has been excellent..... Line Of Duty, Happy Valley, Peaky Blinders and Unforgotten... all very, very watchable.

Yep, some cracking stuff in recent years. Bodyguard, The Missing, Baptiste, Black Earth Rising, Luther can all be added to that list. (Unforgotten is ITV I think, but it's still in that bracket of excellent British TV!)

Best most realistic police drama so far

Spiral.
Best police drama ever made. It's actually ruined all others for me.
Just saying.

I like Spiral

Still think the Wire is the best - Just finished watching all episodes again via box set

Salamander on BBC4 was excellent - both 1+ 2 series

I'm looking forward to this.  Quite a lot of it was filmed around Belfast, I like seeing how much I can recognize.

If I had worked in that Department, I would have not stayed around after all the distrust and back stabbing... Just think of that Sunday evening/Monday morning looming dread feeling there!

I would have applied for a transfer to Shetland long ago...
