Line of Duty (BBC Police Drama)

[FredClogs]

What has Jill the legal received immunity and witness protection for? What has she pro ided witness too? I don't get it, you don't just get witness protection for giving vague indications that a known "ocg" exists...

That's it. I'm oot. Ferking ste ending.

So what was Hastings doing giving bent money to Corbetts widow at the cemetery ?

Still not sure he is squeaky clean.

Corbett presumably was Ted's son, from his involvement with his mother back during the troubles

No, I didn't give a flying fk. Number plates FFS.

I reckon it has to be the ACC. She told Carmichael to wrap it up as well. Or else the Asian guy. Someone really high up at any rate.

Loved that

With you, think it's her

Yes 100% wife said it ages ago and she only watches it half heartedly

[Jobbo]

There was never a suggestion in the questioning that Ted killed Corbett himself, yet the hair found on Corbett’s body was solid evidence against him?

And Dot in his dying declaration confirmed H was the first letter of the name, but excluded the first few letters which Kate managed to run through. HAstings thus being impossible...

Not too sure tbh....

He was married and despite wanting to play hide the sausage with Gill he didn’t, saying it was because he was still married (ie a devout catholic)

Corbett was ten when his mother was killed - was Ted having a secret affair for TEN years?

[BlackLabel]

Liked the bit where Kate tells big ears to “stop making a tit of yourself and ps off”.

Enjoyed that episode and thought they wrapped up the different storylines quite well however still a bit confused re Lisa - the panic attacks earlier in the series, crying when Corbett dies, the connection between ted and her?

Nah, Ted only served 7 years with the RUC (1982 - 1989).

Why did they keep bringing him back to the AC12 offices to be interviewed if they were worried about security ?

Surely any ordinary custody suite would have been more appropriate ...

I know it's done for the drama, but a detail that kept bugging me was Steve and Kate pulling out handguns like they're standard issue at the end. Steve is/was an AFO previously so probably has authority to request a firearm if needed (I presume), but what about Kate? Can they both just go up to the firearms office and request them?

I'm probably reading too much into it but to be fair and I can't remember much of the last 5 seasons and the backstory of both of them as it's been a while,

But never admitted to that, and no one left to say otherwise.

,

Wasn’t Kate a TFC in a previous episode?

Anyway the bit I thought odd was Steve getting PTSD after shooting WPC Ginger....

Nice return to form for those fans of the earlier series'. Not boring in the slightest imo.

Glad they brought up Ted shooting the ocg member in interview, been annoying for ages that! He's still a bit slippery, still the head of Anti corruption with a final written warning

Gonna have to go back and watch Gill like a hawk and look for more clues.

I liked DCS Carmichael in the end, I obviously have issues

Yes of course, but that wouldn't make good tele now would it?

[Sargeant Orange]

Forget about finding out who the 4th bent copper is in S6, the biggest cliffhanger for me is whether Ted was actually knocking one out to hot milfs in his hotel room, or was there something more sinister on there?

just about 8 witnesses, the hookers.

Yep, said exactly the same to SWMBO.

As for the whole episode in general, the whole thing was so much more intense mainly consisting of the interview and interaction between Hastings and Carmichael and the one-upmanship of Bigolo over Carmichael and Big Ears and then Fleming and Arnott over Bigolo.

Great drama and proper edge of the seat stuff. Loved it.

Yeah they are both AFO's and used firearms throughout S3.

Can't be Morse - he's dead. Lewis maybe ?

Series-3 Danny Waldron - She was identified as firearms trained when she went under cover with the firearms team.

Kate was an AFO in series 3 ( undercover) and she also shot Dot didn't she ?

Real life would dictate that she would be unable to do her requals for her ticket ( probably) but hey ho ...

Ginger Tranter was actually a Sergeant but was referred to as a Constable in the bit at the end ... PH, pedantry matters - continuity fail.
