Line of Duty- Late to the Party

It was a great show that introduced us to British TV, I didn’t know a 7th season was in the works until I googled it for this thread. The British can put out some quality TV series.

I watched the whole series last year. This was a "deleted scene" for some charity special thing. I hope they get one more season,I didn't love the finale and would like for them to get a do over.

Thanks for this thread. I gave it a try and am now on season 2. Incredible story telling.

There are so many great British actors that make an appearance in the show. Some for an entire season, others for only an episode or two.

The Gaffers one liners are epic

Below are some, but it’s not always the words but his delivery. In season 4 when he was talking to a female cop about a killer/suspect who he had started to think was the female cop he said something like “him…or her” while raising his eyebrow and looking at the cop was funny. Simple words but delivered in a great way.

"There's only one thing I'm interested in… and that's bent coppers

"Now we're sucking diesel"

"Mother of God"

"Gotcha a big pint of that cats' p*** that you young fellas seem to like so much"

"We do our duty to the letter of the law - the letter"

"None of my people would plant evidence, they know I would throw the book at them - followed by the bookshelf"

"The name's Hastings, like the battle"

"I didn’t float up the Lagan in a bubble"

"Oh Jesus, Mary and Joseph AND the wee donkey”

“Frankly, son, right now, I couldn’t give a s**t.”

“Maybe you could be a ray of sunshine and burn off the fog?”

“For years, the security in this department has been watertight… then you come along, suddenly we’re leaking like a colander.”

“Go back to the coal face, the pair of you, unless you’ve got more egg-sucking tips for your granny.”

“You two look like you’ve lost a shilling and found a penny”

“Houl yer whisht”
