Loving seeing the new cast - but am agog wondering about Martha! Good to see Damien out in front, though! Any chance of an even higher profile for Jack, do you think?
On the edge of my seat waiting for this to begin.
I'm at once excited and worried at this promo pic. Excited cuz YAY it's gotta be coming out soon and YAY can't wait to see Lenora and Damien together again! Worried in that all the extra people will be taking away Damien and Clare-Hope screen time, stealing Jack and Charlie's thunder and changing their relationship. The original trio photos had them together. This shows clear ranks and I don't like how far apart Jack and Charlie are. They better be working together, I would miss their banter. On the plus side, Jack's pen made the ranks. LOL

Jack's crime fighting pen was the first thing I spotted, whimsy ;)
I like Jack's shorter hair. The whole look of this promo is a lot slicker looking than previous promos. I'm excited about the new cast and how that's all going to play out but I'm a little unsure how that's going to change the dynamic between Jack and Charlie.
As long as we don't see less of Jack I'll be happy! If they're taking Suspects up a level it should be good for Damien's career.
I had a quick look at the online magazine the photo is from and they are actually using a photo of Jack when they talk about Suspects (briefly, but what they say is good).

I'm with Whimsy. I'm excited to see new characters and Lenora...I assumed she was going to be a guess and not a recurring character. But I'm also a little worried with the placing of the characters on the poster. Jack and Charlie on the outskirts and so far apart? They are in the front though, so that's a good sign.

I'm excited and worried too, where is Martha indeed? Even she would be like, missing person or something in this series she should still be there. Have those another character replaced her? I can't wait this to start and get my answers.
Does this also means that season 3 and 4 will be on DVD soon?
Hmm...I'm not sure about this pic at all!! It's very stylised...or 'slicker' as rosie said - a complete contrast to promotion pics from the previous series which have been totally grounded in realism. I kinda like the natural simplicity of the images with just Jack, Charlie and Martha at a location somewhere. This image is completely contrived and does not look like it's from a tv documentary at all - I know it isn't, but that's the effect they've been going for in the past. It could be a promo shot for....oh I dunno....Gotham or something! I wonder if this not only heralds a change in the line-up and dynamics but also in feel....
I must admit the Damien screen time thing never crossed my mind - Jack is an established lead character, prominent and no doubt as vivid in the new series!
Haha whimsy, Jack's magical crime fighting pen, a character in its own right at last!
Jozie, I now, where's Martha! we've been discussing and speculating on her absence in this topic
Agree with you about the slick look of this promo Rosie, I love it! Fifi, to me it looks in keeping with previous promos, on the crime scene, the police line and the yellow bollard thingies (what are they called?!) Remember the series 2 promos? I'd be really surprised if the show's ultra realistic and gritty USP changed - but this is a sales promo so may be trying to appeal on the drama level. And the photo itself may be amped up a bit. I must admit it didn't strike me as anything other than the Suspects we know and love and PD awesome !
domino - I'm not sure that I agree with you that the look of this poster is in keeping with previous ones....but it is, nonetheless, fantastic to see.
We are undoubtedly going to see some changes for this series - and I welcome that! I think it was due a bit of a shake up. Can't wait for channel 5 to pull their finger out and start some proper publicity for this - especially as they seem to already be advertising it on the international tv market....
