Line Of Duty Series 4 is coming to BBC1, having moved across from BBC2 after last year’s fantastic third series, even if the last 30 minutes were rather a nonsense… This time round, the trailer, below, makes it out that the fantastic Thandie Newton (2012) is the one being hunted down by AC-12 as a […]
