    Well its on BBC Two so they only need to avoid an actual same hour clash, they are re-showing series two from next Saturday two eps at a time so late March by the looks of it.

    Keep forgetting this is BBC2..

    .. considering it's ratings, you'd think they'd have moved it to BBC1 by now.

    DigiGuide has this starting on Thursday 24th March.

    That is the time-slot currently occupied by the 3 parter 'Murder'

    OT
    I haven't watched Murder but it seems to have got good reviews

    Murder is one of the most original British dramas ever

    Wow, that was proper gripping from the start to finish. Believe the hype.

    If you recorded it on BBC One NI, note that it's on BBC Two NI from next week. You might need to set up a new series link (I think it was moved tonight because there was Live Football on BBC Two NI)

    Wow I enjoyed that. Trying to remember what happened last time round, think we joined the party late and watched 2 1st then 1.
    Wonder where it will go next, is wide open

    Anyone know if it's repeated before next weeks episode ? Raging that I had to miss it (well, didn't strictly have to, but that's another story - should have stayed at home in hindsight :()

    Seems like there will be a fourth series.
    AHEAD of the return of BBC police corruption drama Line of Duty later this week, creator Jed Mercurio has revealed that he is now starting to think about the fourth series.

    "I write episode by episode, one series at a time. I’m beginning to think about series four now but I didn't think about it before I’d finished series three," he explained.

    Pretty sure The Beeb renewed it for a third and fourth series after the second series aired.

    Still need to watch last night's episode.

    They featured this on Gogglebox just now. Interesting to see everyone's reaction was just like mine, "great episode when is it on again". Though they did majorly spoil do if anyone is planning on watching both shows they should leave the room for this part of Gogglebox

    Watched it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Daniel Mays was excellent. It's hard to tell where they are going with the story - a lot hinges on how episode 2 begins.

    After constantly seeing the promo for series 3 I decided to check this out -just watched series 1,2 and episode 1 from series 3 over the last few days. I would highly recommend this show.

    I bet a lot of people have missed out on this. People are so busy trying to watch everything on Netflix.

    This is top quality.

    After a stellar first episode, the second was dry, a bit boring and a bit confusing.

    I think I need to watch season 2 again. I can't remember who Keeley Hawes character was or what she did.

    She was the officer that moved the bloke that was killed in the ambush
    She was perceived as bullied the victim and turned out to be the opposite
    - I think!

    they go and kill him off and bring back the stupid Lindsay Whatserface story :mad:

    Confused as well...is Dot in cahoots with Keeley Hawes??he didn't look too happy when she got released though...and is there someone higher up giving them orders?...looks like the little detective guy might be the only "not dirty" copper in the show...

    Do they?..maybe so..can't remember a suggestion of him being a bit shady last season,but maybe there was so much going on with Keeley Hawes that it slipped my notice...anyway,can't wait to see who else turns out to be "in the know"...

    He was more than a bit shady. Dot has been up to his neck in it since the first series. Mind you there is such a long gap between series that you could be forgiven for forgetting. You'd probably need to watch a refresher before the new series.

    Dot is more slippery than a barrel of eels. Fascinating to see how the release of Lindsay Denton changes the dynamic.

    Why did yer man Dot need to pretend to get beaten by the tactical squad guy Baines in the warehouse?
    Doesn't really make sense and exposes him as if the others believe the other guy he's outed.
    No real need to be seen to "make the arrest" on Baines himself.
    Seems too contrived.

    Denton may have been a bit mad but she's a copper to her fingertips, like Denton and like Denton Dot may yet win the day. That said the real enemy seems to be Gill Biggelow in legal council for AC 12

    I have started looking again at the series staring with episode 1. Its very complicated.
    Who sent the mobile to Hari? Dot, was it? What was the significance of that? In episode 2 I think, there seems to be a new plot re L Denton which doesn't seem to have anything to do with Murphy murder. What is all that about? There was no mention of her at all in episodes 1. Very confusing.
    Even though its difficult to make out I thought the scene where they were questioning the suspected paedophile was the best television I have seen in a long time. Superb acting, beautifully nuanced, just brilliant. Adrian Dunbar, and the paedophile himself were absolutely outstanding.

    Denton is an continuing character from the previous season. Her court case was still in progress.
    mobile was a burner phone to keep in touch with the caddy (dot)

    I loved the way they put
    Jimmy Savile into the story, airbrushing him into a photo
    while every other BBC programme which features any mention of him has been shredded

    There is a lot to like in this, some terrific writing and acting. But it does feel like I should have rewatched Series 1 and 2 and kept notes before tackling Series 3.

    Yeah, initially I hated the bait and switch with Mays but actually the continuity is brilliant and I remember now hating Denton because I could never figure out if she was bent and not because she was an uninteresting character.

    Enjoyed it, thought it was fantastic up to the last ten minutes or so. If I have a quibble it's that it all got a bit "Hollywood" at that stage. Will be interesting to see where they can go with a 4th Season.

    Top notch drama, most of the first hour was set in that glass office and was excellent.

    The only really ridiculous part was Kate hanging off the truck.

    Agreed, heck Denton figured out her very quickly, so after capturing the caddy, it would just be absurd even for this sort of show for her to be able to do it again.

    I dunno, I suppose the next series can be about trying to track down whoever groomed the caddy.

    Got a little "B Movie Hollywood" in the last ten minutes, but **** it was so engrossed, have to give it a free pass.

    Just watched all 3 seasons in the last two months. The way the caddy story had continuity from season 1 right through until this week's episode was brilliant. It made for a proper trilogy. Best TV I've seen in ages, especially season 2 and 3, and I probably watch way too much TV.
