Oh dear I think the whining reviews haven't realised this is the campest tv series ITV have produced in years ...it's really not to be taken seriously..line of duty it is not .. it for a Sunday afternoon over a stiff G&T ..fabulous ...also great to see a few non WASP actors ..at last after 21 seasons ..it's a real scream with gloriously daft plots ...those whom take it seriously may want to make an attempt to get out more .
