[Closed] Line of Duty

Local journalism at its finest.

That is pure genius...

Yeah reckon that Westmoreland Gazette article is as close to the edge as it gets. Problem is for its sheer ridiculousness it'll be shared far and wide and only serve to feed the beast of shitty journalism.

Due to covid filming restrictions, H turns out to be Adam from Cold Feet?

I’m not sure if all the cliches about the show above are why I love it or why my diminishing attention span struggles with it. Can’t wait though.

I don't want to say I told you so, but.....

Something’s DEFINATELY not right here 😀

Oooh, cliffhanger-tastic 🤣

Excellent episode tonight.

Eastenders eat your heart out, duff duff duff duff duff!

It's got to be one of the best comedies out there at the moment....hilarious.

LOD really has JTS.

How THE HELL did you know that???

Ooooh, who got shot then? Mercurio is not averse to killing off major characters so it could be Kate.

Based on previous seasons I predict Ted will be on the ropes next week, ready for a miraculous recovery in ep 7.

It's quicker to say "gun shot wound" than "GSW." It's gone too far.

It's a parody of itself. Still good Sunday night entertainment.

Ted pulled out some classic lines tonight

Now we're sucking on diesel!

I think you’ll find that’s SOD...

Can someone please remind me about the Ted/50k/hotel room/100k Corbett thing?

And why would Ted allegedly give Corbett up to the OCG?

Who got shot then?

My money is on the 2 baddies 😉

Ryan dead, Kate seriously injured, in a coma so can't speak. Jo carries on.......

Two from one or one from two?

Who did we see prepping their side arm? I thought it was ... but it could have been ..., hmm.

Oh, @scuttler - there's only one 'e' in Westmorland 😉

How THE HELL did you know that???

Wild guess while suffering him in that crazy Mercurio Goliath thing at the time*.

My bet - Ryan dead, Kate badly injured but saved by body armour, Jo cracks and goes into witness protection.

Or, Steve turned up, killed Ryan and Jo to hide the fact that he's really H.

*Now tell me i shouldn't have made the Big Hitters shortlist on the magazine! 🤣

Well for me the highlight was the SCBJS:  surprise cameo by Jimmy Saville.

LESFO for me, late entrance by specialist firearms officer.

I also wonder if Jed Mercurio has been hiding it in plain sight all along. We all know Ted's a child of the 60's, maybe a bit old school from those times, so when he says he's out to trap a 'bent copper' what version of bent is that?

Makes you think.....

What was the significance of Ted's wistful look at his class photo from police college? I didn't spot any familiar faces but I'm a bit rubbish at that sort of thing.

As for the shooting, we know Kate is a super sniper so she'll have shot the gun out of Ryan's hands but in a cruel twist his wayward shot will end up hitting Jo, putting her in hospital where she thinks she's safe, but the OCG will have penetrated ITU and Charlie from Casualty turns out to be H.

Seeing as many of you think you know everything get your own AC-12 mug

I love that mug for the (eventual) return to the office

I must confess to finding it all a bit OTT and has been for a while. Probably my fault having never watched the previous 5 series, then bingeing them. Was very good right up until OCG busted Cotton out of the interview room! Still, there's worse ways to wate an hour on a Sunday evening. My money's on Priti being H. Or, more likely, DCSU Carmichael.

My bet:
Ryan swings round and caps Jo to stop her testifying, Kate shoots Ryan, non fatal wound.

then next weeks episode will be a tense nail biter trying to keep Ryan alive then just as we get to the credits we'll find another Bent Copper(TM) gets to Ryan and bumps him off <close to black>

Please enter name to appear for mug, for example:
- David
- Milly
- H

I bet H is a best seller 😉

Jimmy Nesbitt looks like he's been using Tommy Sheridan's stylist.

Mercurio's desperation to use real-life events and tragedies to prop up his melodrama is wearing a bit thin - Savile, Cliff and now Stephen Lawrence.

As for the ending, it's this:

but with much worse acting.

Makes you think…..

Definately...

Is Chloe Tony Gates' daughter?

The mis-spelling of definately thing.. I reckon thats a deliberate red herring as its surely one of the most common speeling mistakes (personally i tink thats a better way to spell it).

Woudl Chloe Gates be old enough to be bishop?

It was nice to see the E61 making another cameo in last nights episode, albeit briefly and from behind. Continuity quality...

I have to say they do seem to have run out of ideas, which I hadn't felt up until now, although they were ramping each series up in a way that wasn't sustainable.

Too many TLAs, sayings from Ted and Carmichael is stupidly over acted/directed.

Still enjoying it tho! Better than Bloodlands. Have started the Wire again to keep me going when it finishes.

As for the ending, it’s this:

but with much worse acting.

Always hated this. from kates point of view she's got the drop on Ryan, holding an illegal gun. Shoot him as soon as he turns the gun towards you, dont pause for a verbal argument.

Same for Ryan, as far as he is aware (not knowing about AC12 surveillance on him) his only way out is killing Kate (which he had already mentally prepared himself for, going to the meeting).

If he was going to kill Kate, surely he'd have been at the truck yard waiting and stealthy, not arrive in the same car as the boss!

Next week Carmichael will actually smile causing Ted to die from shock and Steve’s back to finally give out.

What a disappointing episode

Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey. Pissed myself laughing at that one. Lost count of the mother of gods after that

Thought Nesbitt's performance was particularly stiff.

Why did they go on the run? Thought it was going Thelma and Louise at one point.

Why did they go on the run?

Bizarre wasn't it? Made no sense them suddenly walking round like mates.
