the hitman Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi Folks Just watching the re-run of the original series of Line of Duty - obviously I know what happens, however it’s great to watch Lennie James putting in a fantastic performance. He is also in a sky program called Save me - which is like the film Taken but the main character doesn’t have a unique set of skills. worth a watch Hitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 One of the best series of the last decade. Adrian Dunbar - always worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 We’ve just finished watching the first episode of the second series. Really enjoying this programme; my daughter told me it was good ages ago but we just got into it last week when we watched the first series. If I’d known Lennie James was in it we may have started watching it sooner. If they ever decide to use a black actor as James Bond, then it would have to be him! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Lennie is a fine actor, but a bit old to start playing Bond at 54. Never understood the clamour for a black James Bond. No clamour for an Indian Bond, a Chinese Bond or any other race / colour. They could always turn to Russ Abbott - Basildon Bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Wonderful series, wonderful writing and direction and some superb acting from a great cast. Lennie James is playing Tony Gates marvellously Thoroughly enjoying it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Watched all the 4 series on netflix , the series 5 on BBC i player , absolutely amazing best thing on TV , for sometime . They have put series 6 on hold , due to Covid-19 . Each series just seemed to get better and better . I am pleased i did not watch it on the BBC when it was on . Would have hated to wait a week for the next one . 😀 10 hours ago, Gordon R said: One of the best series of the last decade. Adrian Dunbar - always worth watching. Yes , he played an amazing part .

It wasn’t really a serious suggestion; I don’t understand the clamour either. The only redeeming features of the film Sahara, were appearances by Lennie James and William H.Macy. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the walking dead for a number of series, and has been in the last few series of fear the walking dead. I do have to say that for some reason I couldn't get into his character for Trust Me and haven't watched the second series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy george Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 There not many programs the wife & me watch but we picked up on it at about the start of series 5, so we had to go back to the beginning. Ended up watching 2 or 3 programs a night 😄 to catch up Can't wait for the new series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Thought I was recording it only to find that my recorder had gone tits up and locked frozen. Switch on/off at mains. Ok now but no recording. Thank goodness for smart TVs and BBC iPlayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Quote The only redeeming features of the film Sahara, were appearances by Lennie James and William H.Macy. Got to agree. Macy was also brilliant in Fargo and Mystery Men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
