Line of Duty is a British BBC police procedural television series created by Jed Mercurio. The first series premiered on 26 June 2012 and became BBC Two's best-performing drama series in ten years with a consolidated audience of 4.1 million viewers.[1] The second series broadcast began on 12 February 2014;[2] its widespread public and critical acclaim, led to the BBC commissioning a further two series.[3][4][5] The third series broadcast began on 24 March 2016, and the fourth on 26 March 2017 on BBC One. The fifth series was completed at the end of 2018 and broadcast began on BBC One on 31 March 2019. The BBC has ordered a sixth series.[6]

It is the most popular drama series broadcast on BBC Two in the multi-channel era[7] and is a winner of the Royal Television Society Award[8] and Broadcasting Press Guild Award for Best Drama Series.[9] Line of Duty was included in a list of the Top 50 BBC Two shows of all-time[10] and in a list of the 80 best BBC shows of all time.[11] It was the highest-ranked current series in a list of the best police shows of all time[12] and third in a poll of the best British crime dramas of all time.[13]

Plot summary

Line of Duty follows D.S. Steve Arnott (Martin Compston), an Authorised Firearms Officer transferred to Anti-Corruption Unit 12 (AC-12) after refusing to cover-up an unlawful shooting by members of his own team. Arnott is partnered with D.C. Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure), a highly-commended undercover officer with a keen investigative instinct, who is swiftly promoted to D.S. (in series 4), and D.I. (in series 5). They work under the supervision of Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), who is one of several Senior Investigating Officers (along with D.C.S. Patricia Carmichael (Anna Maxwell Martin) of AC-3 and those of AC-9) responsible for uncovering corruption within the police force. Throughout the series, AC-12 investigate seemingly disparate cases involving seemingly-corrupt police officers such as D.C.I. Tony Gates (Lennie James), D.I. Lindsay Denton (Keeley Hawes), Sergeant Danny Waldren (Daniel Mays), D.C.I. Roseanne Huntley (Thandie Newton) and undercover officer D.S. John Corbett (Stephen Graham). AC-12 realise the pervasive nature of corruption and the police's deep-rooted links to an organised crime group.

Cast

  • Martin Compston as Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott, a detective sergeant assigned to AC-12, the anti-corruption unit within Central Police. Previously, he served as an counter-terrorism officer. He transferred after he refused to collude with his colleagues following the fatal shooting of an innocent man.
  • Vicky McClure as Detective Inspector Kate Fleming, an undercover specialist. A consummate professional, Fleming is willing to investigate officers inside and outside AC-12. Initially a detective constable, she is promoted to detective sergeant at the end of the third series and to detective inspector following the fourth. Fleming is married with a son.
  • Craig Parkinson as Detective Inspector Matthew "Dot" Cottan (series 1, 2 & 3), an AC-12 officer, initially introduced as a Sergeant on Tony Gates' TO-20 team. At the beginning of series 2, he is promoted to detective inspector and transferred to AC-9. He is seconded to AC-12 by Hastings. Cottan is revealed to be "The Caddy", working as a fixer for the organised crime group throughout the three series. He is killed at the close of the third series having escaped from AC-12 custody.
  • Lennie James as Detective Chief Inspector Anthony "Tony" Gates (series 1), the head of the serious crime unit TO-20, Tony Gates is renowned for returning the best crime figures of any unit in Central Police. It is this reputation, however, that leads AC-12 to his team. Suspected of corruption, Gates faces an internal affairs investigation that adds further complications to his troubled home-life.
  • Keeley Hawes as Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton (series 2 & 3), a silver commander who organises a convoy to transport a protected witness which is ambushed, resulting in the deaths of all the other police officers. As the only police survivor, Denton is arrested, charged with conspiracy to commit murder. She attempts to convince AC-12 of her innocence and regain her reputation, but eventually receives a life sentence. In series 3, Denton is granted an appeal, and is acquitted on the basis of an improper sexual relationship Arnott had with her while she was being investigated. She discovers crucial evidence pertaining to the Danny Waldron murder investigation and historical child sex abuse but after refusing to accept a bribe to conceal that evidence, she is murdered by "The Caddy".
  • Daniel Mays as Sergeant Danny Waldron (series 3), designated Victor Charlie 5-3, is an Authorised Firearms Officer (A.F.O.). Waldron and his armed response unit are investigated by AC-12, as a matter of routine, following the shooting of a suspect during an operation. A deeper investigation is initiated when Arnott and Fleming discover the shooting may have been unlawful. Waldron is shot and killed by a colleague; his death results in the opening of an investigation into historic child sex abuse.
  • Thandie Newton as Detective Chief Inspector Roseanne "Roz" Huntley (series 4), the senior investigating officer of Operation Trapdoor, and at the centre of an AC-12 investigation for mishandling evidence.
  • Stephen Graham as Detective Sergeant John Corbett (series 5), Corbett is an undercover police officer who has been uncontactable for several months. He first appears as John Clayton, the gangleader of an organised crime group which hijacked a police convoy transporting seized drugs.
  • Anna Maxwell Martin as Detective Chief Superintendent Patricia Carmichael (series 5), the officer in charge of AC-3.

Production

Line of Duty was created and written by Jed Mercurio. Series one and two were produced by World Productions, on behalf of BBC Two. David Caffrey and Douglas Mackinnon directed series one. Mackinnon was retained as director for series two's first three episodes, whilst Daniel Nettheim directed series two's last three episodes. Mercurio produced series one and acted as executive producer for series two, with Peter Norris taking over as producer for series two.

Inspiration

Although the police refused to co-operate with the programme's producers, the production team was advised anonymously by serving officers and by retired police officers. Use was made of anonymous police blogs.[14]

Locations

Series one was filmed in Birmingham, including pub interiors in the Queen's Arms.[15] Series two, three, four and five were made in Northern Ireland by BBC Northern Ireland. Line of Duty is a fiction and the exact location is never mentioned, although maps of Birmingham appear on walls and telephone numbers use an 0121 area code, again indicating Birmingham. The fictional 01632 phone code is also seen. Various postcodes seen on paper and screen have the Birmingham 'B' or Milton Keynes 'MK' prefix. The police forces referred to are the fictional Central Constabulary and the fictional East Midlands Constabulary. A photo gallery of exterior scenes from series two shows the 4th Street Station on Ormeau Avenue in Belfast.[16]
