LINE OF DUTY (10 pm)
Line of Duty is a cop show that forces you to re-examine the role of the police force. Not everything is black and white and when there are quotas to be met, even good cops can be pressured into entering the large grey area that exists between right and wrong. DCI Gates is one such man. Publicly revered as one of the capital’s top cops, he’s a man with underworld connections and a former lover who threatens to pull him off his pedestal. Gates has his fans but his remarkably high conviction rate has also aroused some suspicion. Superintendent Ted Hastings tasks the squeaky clean Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott with looking into Gates’ affairs. Arnott doesn’t like what he finds but Gates is a well-connected man and no one within his unit is willing to turn on him. As the drama unfolds, two men battle to save their careers while some of London’s most bloodthirsty criminals go on a bloody rampage.
