Line Of Duty returns to BBC Two and pits AC-12 against their most dangerous adversary yet. The third season of Jed Mercurio’s police corruption thriller sees Mrs Biggs star Daniel Mays join the cast as Sergeant Danny Waldron, alongside Will Mellor (In the Club) as PC Rod Kennedy, Arsher Ali (The Missing) as PC Harinderpal … >
Here’s some not-so-wild speculation: Lindsay Denton’s going to be the heroine of Line of Duty 3. And it is just speculation. Line of Duty is so twisty-turny, and the Beeb have done such an admirably good job of keeping spoilers locked down, that that’s just a wild guess on my part. But she’s got to … >
Something so restlessly grim as Line of Duty should not be so damn enjoyable to watch. No, wait. Is enjoyable the right word? Probably not. It’s not like you can say ‘I enjoyed’ when talking about the scene early on where Jonas Armstrong (remember when he was Robin Hood a billion Saturday nights ago?) giving … >

In 1993, the BBC produced Lady Chatterley: a four-part dramatisation of the DH Lawrence novel directed by Ken Russell, starring Joely Richardson in the title role and Sean Bean as her gamekeeper lover Mellors. A generation of horny teenagers tuned in, but in spite of the workmanlike woodland grunting from Bean (not to mention the … >
