Between the Lines BBC4 Sunday 10pm

[Wilma55]

Police corruption from 1992. I think this was the Line of Duty of its day. I loved it (and Neil Pearson). Dont know how well it has aged. Any other fans?

I remember. We used to call it Between the Sheets. Glad it's back.

I love a bit of 90s nostalgia. .

I loved that show although my memory's hazy now. Bad apples.

Thank you for the heids up.

Cheekyweeshite: that's my recollection regarding Laverty's body too. We see her in the chest freezer, we see the freezer in Terry's flat, but we don't see the body inside the freezer until S5, when Miroslav remarks on it. The body is then disposed of as I recall and is found and identified as being Laverty.

Sorry wrong thread

Yes!

Between the Sheets here too

Ooh I used to love that programme and Neil Pearson . I shall check out iPlayer

Never seen. But on record for Sunday

I've always thought it was an influence on LOD.

Never mind Between the Sheets, I knew it as Between the Loins

It was brilliant, such a clever show. And yes, a definite influence on LOD.

Fantastic! I shall enjoy watching this again.

I rewatched this when I found all the episodes on YouTube during lockdown one. Neil Pearson was fine in it but he wore the baggiest suits I've ever seen.

Between the Sheets here too

And here! I used to love it.

Mmmmm. Neil Pearson 😍

Definately 😉 a prequel to LoD

There was just something about him wasn’t there?
One thing I did notice was the chain smoking by loads of the characters. Seems shocking now.

Oooh, thanks! Loved this (and Neil Pearson) at the time. Will be interesting to see how it holds up.

I have just looked and it's still all on YouTube if you can't wait til tomorrow.

Oh, Neil Pearson with his floppy hair and matching floppy face... 😅

I went to a premiere in Leicester Square in 2019, part of the London film festival. Stood next to Neil Pearson in the queue. He has aged well.

A few years ago was on a tube train and Lesley Vickerage got on and looks even better in real life.

Ooh, that you so much for mentioning this. I'd have missed it otherwise. Loved it back in the nineties and yes, everyone called it Between the Sheets.

I remember hearing Tony Garnett (executive producer) interviewed years ago and he said that as part of the casting process he'd sneakily made Neil Pearson walk past a row of secretaries to get to his (Tony Garnett's) office. He checked with the women afterwards to see if they thought Neil was hot . Obviously, they all said he was....

How do I get that heart-eyed icon? I feel a definite need of it here

Great cast. There was some great drama around then, wasn't there?

I'm wondering how it will stack up against Line of Duty and hope it's dated well.

Interesting seeing people like Ciaran Hinds and Ben Chaplin at such an early stage in their careers.

Thoughts on ep 1:

Neil Pearson was much hotter than Martin Compston is.

Very very white cast.

All the smoking!

The ancient computers!

Otherwise not too dated, I thought?

Also - no Botox, fillers, veneers or hair extensions. All the cast have forehead lines.

Can’t wait to watch this at the end of the week with a lovely something chilled.

Can’t wait to see something when people still had normal faces.
