Ohh Ohh!! That seems to be the only noise I can do... 
Damien looks really nice in checked shirts with white undershirts too... I'm noticing a pattern.  I'm calling some screenshots!

No but on a serious note this looks incredible, and I'm so ruddy excited for Series 5.

Bill, I love that you took that avatar! LOL 

Woah!  That's pretty intense!  It's going to be amazing having an entire series story arc.  I'm so pleased we've only got 2 weeks to wait!

 Second I saw the milk face I thought give that man an Oscar! Lol. Thank Jozie and Whimsy :) 

As well as the video, the exclusive preview also includes the official episode synopsis:

The series opens with Jack receiving a phone call that makes his blood run cold. Detective Inspector Martha Bellamy has been shot dead in her bed. DCI Daniel Drummond heads the investigation, bringing in Roscoe and Brooks from Major Crimes to help. Drummond warns Charlie not to overstep the mark in their quest to find the killer, but the volatile Jack has no such qualms. Can Charlie keep him under control?

And the new characters gain the same brief descriptive intro as Jack Charlie and Martha originally did:

Charismatic DCI Daniel Drummond (James Murray, Cucumber, Defiance, Primeval), uncompromising DS Alisha Brooks (Lenora Crichlow, Being Human, A to Z) and the street-smart trainee DC Gary Roscoe (Perry Fitzpatrick, Alien Uprising, This Is England) join the regular team

Jesus!

Amazing! I am so looking forward to this!

Jack's place is a lot bigger and better than I thought it would be. So clean, even though the milk was off. Does he have a cleaner, do you think?

How did Jack get blood on his neck?

 My thoughts entirely Ellie!

Anyone else look at the artwork on his walls?

Of course.. he could be flat sitting or staying at somone else's place or living with partner / flatmate.. we know next to nothing of his private life

 Yep!  Me too!!  It's not at all what I would've expected Jack's place to look like!! 

Clean and tidy doesn't necessarily surprise me - i wouldn't have thought he actually spends much time there...and - as Ellie said - he could have a cleaner!  But for the life of me I can't imagine Jack hanging pictures, stacking logs by the fire or tending to a houseplant....or, indeed, paying any attention to the decor in his home at all!  Maybe it's a fully furnished rental....maybe that plant is a fake!!  It is possible that he lives with somebody else.....but that doesn't fit in with my image of Jack either!  Our Jack obviously a man of hidden depths...... Have I thought about this too much??!? 

How did he get blood on his neck?!!  He didn't appear to touch anything - and he didn't wipe any blood off his hands.....so how did it get on his neck?  The fact that Charlie drew attention to it makes me wonder if it will become significant....

Just 8 minutes long and so much to ponder.....

I'm really excited for this season now.  That was great! It was strange seeing Jack's house.  Their personal lives have been largely off limits until now.  Does it seem like this season might have more scripted dialogue?  Or is it just that they are getting better at improv? 

Jack's flat is nowhere near the mental image I had. I agree with fifi, I assumed it would be tidy only because I don't expect he spends much time there.  But I expected sparse and bare, like his desk.  Not sleek and trendy! I suppose as a millennial he might have a better sense of style than bachelors before him, and places like IKEA can do wonders, or perhaps current or former girlfriend had a hand in it? Not sure if this series will give us more little personal nuggets, but really enjoyed that they gave us this one. Fleshes Jack out a bit more, in an unexpected way!  Also, loved his more casual look, disappointed he had to change so quickly.  At least last time his clothes had to be forensicated, we were treated to a show...

As for the blood, I assume that is the mystery that will have suspicions cast on Jack.  We assume we saw everything that happened when Jack went over, but that's an assumption that will surely be turned on its head as the episode progresses.  I'm intrugued and as always so FREAKING EXCITED!!!
