Trivia
Bestselling author Stephen King, a huge fan of the series, was especially fond of the Irish catchphrases used by superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) such as, "Now we're sucking diesel!" (when you've fallen into good fortune thanks to your own hard work) and "Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey!"

A series to watch

Line of duty is an exceptional police drama. My parents first found it on BBC2 which I find unusual by the fact that it is hidden amongst a less popular channel. Furthermore, the acting is brilliant and you'll be on the edge of your seat at the end of every episode - it is indeed one of the best police series I have watched yet. I suppose it could be down to the fact that it is very unique, in which the producers have found a huge gap within the crime genre of focusing upon AC12 which is an anti-corruption unit. This means that the entire series one and two focus upon entirely different story lines but withholds the same cast in both the first and second series. All I can say is it is a must-see and you will be hooked from the first episode - and I cannot wait till the third season!
