Is it safe to mention the series 6 ‘Line of Duty’ final yet? It’s been a few years now. Lol
We watched all the previois series on iPlayer so the hype during the live broadcasts had passed us by in earlier years.
But we were well and truly drawn in to series 6, watching every episode when it was shown and spending waaay too much time theorising who the elusive ‘H’ could possibly be.
Then, I don’t know about you, but after that final episode, I was left feeling positively ‘meh’ about that finale!
Allll that hype… for THAT?!
After sleeping on it, I decided it was a metaphor for society in general.
We look for one person to blame, when the truth is, it’s a collective of lots of people enabling, overlooking, and engaging in lower level ‘wrongs’.
Then there is a smaller number of (in this case 3) people ‘in power’, manipulating and directing from the top down.
I mean, even the massive hype around that last episode was symbolic of how the mainstream narrative whips up hysteria towards the person they want us to blame.
And while everyone is focused on pinning down that one person, it’s creating a space for the bunch of smaller wrongs to go unnoticed, right under our nose.
Anyway…
Something I discovered after the final episode is that at the beginning of every interview scene, there is a long ‘BEEEEEEEEEEEEP’ when the ‘tape’ starts recording.
Until I saw the Line of Duty bingo card graphic that was being shared around, I had NO idea that ‘beeeeeeep’ was a thing.
The subtitles never captioned it.
And the sound frequency was too high for my impaired hearing range to pick up.
The point is, it would be reasonable to believe that every Line of Duty viewer knows of that beep.
I don’t, and I know several others with good hearing who hadn’t clocked it either.
We assume everyone knows what we think is ‘obvious’.
But they don’t.
And while my being unaware of a beeeep for however many series of the show it was a part of won’t impact you…
… there will be things that you’re not teaching your audience because they’re ‘so obvious’ to you that you assume they must already know too.
They don’t.
Here’s the kicker…
Someone else will teach them (and probably blow their mind!) instead.
Why not share something with your audience today that you think everyone already knows?
When you’re prepared to be the person who teaches grannies to suck eggs but blows the socks off your ideal client who didn’t know, you’ll make a greater impact on many more of your potential buyers.
