I used to watch this show religiously as a student, and the fact that Mr Morrissey appears in it - albeit for only two episodes - has given me a good excuse beyond mere nostalgia finally to get around to ordering it on DVD. I'm being a little premature in starting a thread but pics will follow in due time 
For those unfamiliar, Between the Lines was a drama in which Neil Pearson played a copper with a dysfunctional personal life investigating complaints against the Metropolitan Police. The British press affectionately dubbed it Between the Loins because of the frequency with which Mr Pearson was seen falling into bed with various nubile colleagues, but it was much better quality than that might suggest (as well as being somewhat gritty and downbeat - as I remember it every episode involved Mr P's character uncovering some instance of horrendous police brutality or corruption which would then be hushed up by his superiors, whereupon he would slink back to his depressing seedy bachelor pad to brood alone). I take it Mr Morrissey will be playing a bent copper - in this show there was no other kind.
