The BBC has confirmed that Line of Duty will move to BBC One for its fourth season next year. Written and created by Jed Mercurio, the police corruption drama launched on BBC Two in June 2012 and the third season concluded last month with 5.6 million viewers; the highest-rating BBC Two drama series ever since current measuring … >
With our nerves finally settled after the tense 90-minute finale of Line of Duty‘s hit third season, we can reflect on the twists and turns of the case. Putting Danny Waldron (Daniel Mays) up front as the central character, the story them proceeded to pull the rug from under us and bring back Keeley Hawes’ … >
Personally speaking, Line of Duty 3‘s finale went on longer than it really should have. But that’s because I watched it twice, back-to-back. Gobbled it up and then immediately went back for seconds, and found it even better the second time. Honestly? I’ll probably go back in a couple of days and watch it again, … >
With all due respect to hyperbole, tonight’s Line of Duty was the bravest, most uncomfortable, most compelling hour of TV you will likely see this year. If we see another show in 2016 that exceeds in all three categories then a) we’ll be both extremely lucky and harrowed, and b) our TVs will probably melt … >

World Productions announced … >
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 … >
It’s the not knowing that really gets to you. Not knowing who’s responsible for Danny’s death. Not knowing who – if anyone – is going to die next, or how. Not knowing what new evidence is going to gurgle up and turn the case on its head and make Martin Compston’s DC Arnott do that … >
