Line of Duty - Blu-ray Forum

OceanBlue · 03-20-2019, 10:49 PM

Surprised there wasn't an existing thread for Line of Duty. The new, fifth series starts on BBC One on Sunday 31st March, replacing Baptiste. There was a trailer for it either before or after yesterday's Holby City.

Note the channel change, the show moving from BBC Two to BBC One (the first four series were shown on BBC Two).

The first four series were released on DVD only in the UK, but they've each had a Blu-ray release in Germany.

Can’t wait Ocean. The excellent Stephen Graham is joining the cast also.

Haven't seen any of the first four series yet Steedeel. Not 100% sure, but I think a fifth AND sixth series were ordered by the BBC. Keeping my fingers crossed the show does well in the ratings with the upcoming fifth series.

Oh, it absolutely will do well.

Just curious Ocean, why haven’t you watched it yet?

Basically haven't got round to seeing the series yet.

In case anyone is thinking of importing the German blus, on-screen text is in German. The text epilogues for example.

Great show - each series has been pretty great tbh. Certainly hasn’t disappointed yet.

April will be great for Stephen Graham fans like myself. He is starring in a C4 drama directed by Shane Meadows entitled ‘The Virtues’.

What is the likelihood of the UK getting a Blu-ray release of Line of Duty? Currently, it appears there has just been the German Blu-ray release.

Very small. Even for smash hits. For example, the excellent Killing Eve is available in USA but not here!

Saw in the latest issue of a satellite TV magazine today a mention of The Virtues. It was on the back page in the Next Issue section, so it'll be starting in two weeks' time (subject to change).

Yeah, saw a trailer a few days ago. It looks fantastic. Thanks.

Boy was this crap. It's attempts at being edgy/twisty/clever were funnier than its attempts to be funny during comic relief.

I've just started S1 following all the hype.....I must say, it's rather good

Jb162009 · 06-07-2019, 06:56 PM

I saw S1 starring Lennie James a couple years back and never saw rest. Saw they were on last chance on iPlayer so been watching S2 to S5 ep 4, so far, for last week. And throughly enjoyable. Love the twists and conspiracies and can't wait to see how S5 is going to end, especially if the hints are true.

Bullitt · 10-22-2020, 11:43 AM

I've just started this.On episode 4 now after watching the first a couple of days ago.
It's really good thus far and I'm looking forward to continuing with it.

The first four series were brilliant. The fifth, whilst still good, was a marked dip for me.

Still, looking forward to series six though

Blu Lemmy · 10-22-2020, 11:53 AM

You're in for a treat.
It's great

Did read recently that the sixth series has resumed filming, after being suspended because of you-know-what.

Thebunk · 03-23-2021, 01:03 AM

Anyone catch the series premiere last night? Going to try to catch it tomorrow (need to figure out my best VPN / streaming solution with my current setup).

Anyway, this is one of mine (and my wife’s) favorite dramas still on the air.
