ITV 2 is pressing ahead with a new spoof comedy series, that on the surface seems to hark back to the likes of Police Squad! It’s called Action Team, and it stars Tom Davis, Jim Howick, Kayode Ewumi and Laura Checkley, as the spy team who have to save the world. And now they’ve recruited … >

I’d say I need a hand in trying to work out who Balaclava Man is, but I think that might be in rather bad taste… No. No, no, I’m not going to say that (although I just did), and nor am I going to make a joke about how we should give Thandie Newton a … >
Police corruption drama Line of Duty returns for a fourth season, moving to BBC One. Written and created by Jed Mercurio, the six new episodes introduce Westworld star Thandie Newton as AC12’s “most devious opponent yet”, DCI Roz Huntley, with returning regulars Martin Compston, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar joined by Jason Watkins (Being Human), Lee Ingleby (The … >
…Aaaaand breathe. Good news! After a week of worry, it’s with great relief that we learn Steve Arnott is not dead and that his wardrobe of snazzy-backed waistcoats will not have to be distributed among the local charity shops (there’s too many for just one Scope to handle). It’s the biggest Easter miracle since Jesus … >

Line of Duty doesn’t need to be on TV. Seriously. After a finale last year that not only neatly tied up three seasons of intrigue and corruption, but also blew the doors off the place in one of the best 90 minutes of TV you’ll ever see, the show could’ve packed up. Left on the … >

The final episode of this BBC One drama series concludes leaving the audience with some uncertainties. Writer/director Joe Ahearne brings a measure of suspense into the plot by using scenes with little script, whilst the viewer is left assuming the rest. This technique is used skilfully in office scenes where Ellen (Morwen Christie) watches her … >
After last week’s gripping opener, this episode begins with Ellen (Morven Christie) holding the baby. Her emergency Caesarean section produces a baby girl, though the mystery death of her boss, Kay, remains unsolved. Paula (Vicky McClure), her ‘replacement’ maternity cover at work, claims “it doesn’t make any sense.” Was it suicide or was she pushed? … >
