Can someone help with cast credits order (Line of Duty)
Ok so I noticed the Line of Duty wiki (https://lineofduty.fandom.com/wiki/A_Disastrous_Affair#Cast) cast order is different from the order listed on IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2384267/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm)
So investigated and Line of Duty being a UK show doesn't have regular opening credits like US tv shows use on all episodes, you know "Staring actor A, co staring Actor B etc. I found on youtube the opening of episode one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcPwAf2Kuqo&t=26s&ab_channel=BBC where the cast are listed in the same order as the wiki. IMDB doesnt accept wiki entries as proof and my changes have been rejected. I don't know how to show whoever accepts edits that the IMDB lists for Line of Duty are wrong!
Any ideas?
For reference my submissions are:
#240428-171254-548000
#240428-172448-507000
#240428-174631-105000
#240429-040409-735000
#240429-042349-727000

Might be because UK shows may have a few names in the opening but they list the full cast in the closing credits and this is what counts to IMDb, the fullest credits get priority, I'd compare it to the end credits here, which often can be in order of appearance.
They have been double verified as complete after all.
Edit: I just checked, the order on IMDb for S1 Ep1 is correct and in order of appearance.
Opening credits on UK shows should pretty much always be disregarded unless they contain cast credits not appearing in the full end credits which I don't recall ever happening.

Hi @DanDud88 -
If the YouTube video linked has the cast order you can submit with that as evidence, as you said we don't accept wikis as reliable evidence.
Cheers!
