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?

As others have commented, all the smoking! Beepers instead of mobile phones.

Neil Pearson still gorgeous Grin

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 29/03/2021 13:22

Yup.

Loved him in DTDD.

Me and my normal face went all soppy eyed.

Sparklingbrook · 29/03/2021 19:15

The smoking is off the scale. And all the ringing landline phones. Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/03/2021 14:17

Wow. Just started watching and a naked Willy at 10mins

Blondes fans herself 😂😂😂

So np goes uncover/grass up his own station. Is that right

StationView · 30/03/2021 20:09

Blonde he only goes undercover in his own station in the first episode. After that he joins CIB properly and investigates corruption all over the place as well as doing lots of shagging

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/04/2021 21:21

Thanks @StationView

I shall watch tomorrow

Can’t believe I didn’t watch this orginally

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2021 22:12

It’s on again now.

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2021 22:21

'Are you at it Tony?'
'No of course not'

Blimey, they don't muck about re nudity on this show, do they? 👀

Ellmau · 04/04/2021 22:51

Tony was definitely a jerk to his poor wife.

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2021 22:54

Telling Jenny they need to cool things a bit while simultaneously having enthusiastic sex with her. Hmm

LittleBearPad · 04/04/2021 22:56

Ah Neil Pearson

cortex10 · 04/04/2021 22:56

We referred to him as the 'Bottom Man' as that's mostly what we saw of him.

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2021 22:58

Mo was a great character wasn’t she?

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/04/2021 23:02

As I said first episode. 10mins in and a Willy
Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2021 23:10

He demolishes the dressing table and asks her if she’s satisfied? Shock

Andylion · 04/04/2021 23:14

I remember this. It was called Inside the Line here in Canada. I hope it pops up on one of the streaming services I use.

Anyone still watching ?

Ellmau · 24/04/2021 22:54

Yes!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 24/04/2021 23:21

Ahh good Ellmau ....I did sort of watch the last episode (but fell asleep) IIRC it's the one with the Police Officer taking a bribe in the envelope with MOT certificates .
They were given a really vile mouldy underground cellar to work in ?

Ellmau · 24/04/2021 23:43

Not bribes (that may be the next one unless I'm behind), it was a complaint of brutality against a police officer who got killed because his fellow officers neglected to back him up bc he was so awful. The station was collectively uncooperative.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/04/2021 00:08

I saw that one , it was an underground car park and a dodgy radio .

The bribes one started in a park , they were watching the handover

I was wracking my brain thinking who one of the Police Officers was , searched a bit and (if I'm right) he was in The Gentle Touch .
I feel old .
I know BTL is old ( 1990s ) but TGT must've been 80s !

1980-1984 I've just looked !

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 01/05/2021 20:56

So tomorrow will give us the last two episodes of Seies 1.
I do remember watching Series 2 but not 3 .

Ellmau · 01/05/2021 21:38

Hope not a spoiler, but series 3 was really not to the same standard ;(
