Line of Duty

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Is anyone watching "Line of Duty" on Tuesdays BBC2? It's filmed around Broad Street, the police station is actually the old TSB Bank.
It's a good TV "gritty cop drama" in itself (so far; episode 2 on Tuesday) but it's good to play 'spot the location' as well!
 
Sounds good thanks Charlie. Michael will always beat me on spot the location. Just been watching a programme on Pugin he spotted the location in Birmingham before I could speak...lol..
 
Two sites to help you track the Birmingham Locations used in Line of Duty (along with other shows)

Line of Duty Birmingham Locations on Facebook and Birmingham TV & Film Locations Tour Site

I hope to put another set of tours on during late September/Early October so if you are interested then keep checking the Tour Site or follow @Sparks68 on Twitter for updates.

Loving Line of Duty, final episode airs on Tuesday 24th July.

One other show to look out for is Stephen Poliakoff's 'Dancing on the Edge' a 1930s BBC period drama about The Louis Lester Jazz Band, which filmed in the Grand Hotel Ballroom and the Council House back in January 2012. Likely to be on TV around Christmas and may form part of the Christmas Holiday schedules on the BBC.

Totally agree Ray. I shall be sorry to see it finish tonight - best thing that's been on TV for ages. (And not a mention of the bl**dy Olympics in it)!!!!
 
 
Have just watched the final episode, have to agree, has been the best TV for a while. Missed this post earlier and kept thinking that it looked like Brum, now I know I was right - thanks for the info Sparks.
Hope they do another series like this one.

The series was very good. It emphasised the dubious happenings in the uk. I hope there is another series, but suspect that it was based on a real happenings which concluded as described in the on-screen text. Therefore there will be no sequel. There could however be another story
 
Folks, really enjoying this series BUT we only got up to episode 2 on Monday using iplayer and (as I just notoced you said earlier) they've took it off catch up/iplayer. Any ideas where else I might find it ~ say on the web etc ??
 
Just watched the first series of LofD - well worth watching if not already seen. I took a few screenshots along the way. Series first broadcast in 2012. Viv.
