TV review: Line of Duty, Blackout, Alan Partridge on Open Books by The Stage

Two episodes in, and Line of Duty is shaping up rather nicely, if you like your crime thrillers reeking of corruption, filmed through a fog of moral ambivalence and generously sprinkled with bloodshed, mutilation and murder. Imagine a modern police procedural informed by the sensibilities of Jacobean revenge tragedy, and you'll have some idea of what writer/producer Jed Mercurio's five-part BBC drama series is like.
