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 … >

…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 … >
Wait. Did Steve Arnott just die? I genuinely have no clue, although all his head-blood taking a trip downstairs doesn’t bode well. Were this any other show I’d expect him to appear next week, sat up in a hospital bed, a big bandage wrapped round his head, and a bag of grapes from Ted Hastings … >
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 … >

BBC One has unveiled a new look at the fourth season of Line of Duty. The one-minute trailer introduces Westworld star Thandie Newton as AC12’s “most devious opponent yet”, DCI Roz Huntley. Six new episodes of the police corruption drama began filming in Belfast last September, with returning regulars Martin Compston, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar joined by Jason Watkins … >
This whole thing is insane! Not my words, the words of Sir Stuart Strange (Jonathan Pryce). He’s not wrong y’know. In fact he seems to be the only man to have finally cottoned on to the madness of Taboo, just as it’s too late. It’s actually quite refreshing for someone on the other side of … >
