Can I watch Line of Duty series 4 if I haven't watched 3?

Hi all

Quick question as title says! Will there be any plot spoilers if I watch series 4 currently on iplayer? I've watched 1 and 2 on Netflix but can't find series 3 anywhere Sad

Thanks!

Series 3 has been on BBC I Player very recently. It may be on BBC and you could also pick it up in HMV on special offer.
You can watch Series 4 without Series 3 as Series 3 wrapped up a lot of things.

Yes you can. And you must watch all the series! Think you really need to watch 2 before you watch 3 though

Argh it's no longer playing on iplayer, only series 4! It's not as easy for me to buy on watch on TV also really hoping I could find it online somewhere...

I read on another LOD thread that Sainsbury's have the box set of the first 3 series if that appeals? However you do it you must watch all 3 previous series at some point, it's beyond excellent.

I've only watched 3rd series and the current one
IPlayer had a resume catch-up type thing and the 3rd series

I've started on series 4 and haven't felt I needed to watch previous series, but I certainly want to now Grin

Me too! Just been trying to find series 3. Infuriating it's disappeared from iplayer. Apparently it was on Netflix for a day in march but got pulled due to licensing issues.

I suspect Netflix released it too soon. Reckon they will be allowed to put it on once series 4 has finished on the Beeb and has disappeared from iPlayer.

MY DP has just come back from France and was watching Season 3 on Netflix over there so French Netflix seem to have it.

I think you can get round this by watching it on Netflix on Chrome and using the Hola extension to access it like you were viewing from France.

Just tried it and it doesn't like the fact I'm using a proxy although series 3 is definitely available on there...oh well, it was almost a good idea!

It's also available to buy on BBC Store. Cost £10.99 though but I was desperate. 😬

Are the links good quality and do they have all the episodes? Will have a look later.

Is the BBC store a DVD or can you watch online?

Thanks!

tattychicken Thanks!! I'll buy this weekend and binge watch on iPad. Feel nervous about watching illegal versions because of my job so will definitely buy online!

Ha! I'm the same! My husband watched it on some dodgy site, assured me I could do the same, and grumbled at my £10.99 pay out but I'm much happier watching it legally. And it is totally worth it.
