Baptiste

@nankate and all wise telly-watching Gransnetters - just a quick reminder that...

IT'S BACK! THE TELLY MOMENT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR TWO LONG YEARS....IT'S:

LINE OF DUTY.

'nuff said. As you were.......

So what shall we all watch next ? Or have some of you found something already which I can watch on catch up.

They were a bit drippy weren't they gilly!

I am starting to watch it all over again. From the start. This time I not be putting my head in GN every so often. And then wondering why I wasn't following the plot.

Oh yes it ended with him putting his head on his wife’s lap and her soothing him lovingly .... Just like me and my DH do every night ...... not .

Actually I fast forwarded the bit with the man with the meat cleaver in her flat so maybe missed a bit!

OMG I fell asleep at that bit then!

He did didn't he? She said she was longing to sleep in her own bed-mind you she might have decided it was more peaceful without him!

Why didn't Baptiste go back to his much adored wife and slightly grumpy daughter?

He was her lover and was working under cover in the Serbian gang. Think she spoke briefly about it in one episode-but don't ask me which, I'm not that clear about who did what when.

was he her lover in Call the Mdwife? Maybe we all fell asleep.


It was her reading of the bed-time story that did it for me

Perhaps they cut out the bit out when she hand to hand fought with the killer and threw him over the balcony before having a shower and going to bed.

The man in the coma must have been important, was he her lover in Call the Mdwife? Maybe we all fell asleep.

There was an earlier episode where Genevieve was reading to the man in the wheelchair and the curly haired woman, his wife went mad at her. I'm still not too sure about meat cleaver man but don't think a pair of scissors would have been a good defence.

I did enjoy the series but if I was Edward having lost everything, listening to Baptiste philosophising at the end might have been the final straw!!

Thank you Luckuygirl - I either missed that or had forgotten it!

You're welcome.

Jeez how did I miss that Lucky ? You must've really paid attention to the finer details of the story. Now that you explain, it makes perfect sense.... thank you

As often happens, I was gripped up until the last episode, which seemed to end rather abruptly and unsatisfactorily.

The woman on the wall was the wife of the man in the wheelchair, who was an ex-colleague of the Interpol (?) woman who had an affair with him.

One police woman escorted him in then stepped back Jalima -ah the joys of rewind! I'd miss so much without it.
I agree about Line of Duty.

And was that St Margaret's Bay in the final scene with Edward and Baptiste?

I also forgot why Edward was so involved in wanting to find the two girls .....

I'm relieved it's over.

Looking forward to Line of Duty

I could have written your post of 10.02 Jalima There are so many unanswered questions. Who on earth was that strange looking woman sitting on the wall outside the hospital? Who on earth would creep around a flat (in the dark) knowing that there had been (or indeed still could be) an intruder ? What happened to the guy with the meat cleaver to make him change his mind? In my opinion, a ridiculous and thoroughly unsatisfactory ending . Hummmmph

Perhaps I had nodded off in previous episodes and missed the parts that needed ends tying up!

I did notice one policewoman or prison warder in the distance when the son was looking at his mother's stone but that part seemed very unrealistic.

Wasn't the man in the wheelchair her ex-work partner and the curly haired woman his wife?
Baptiste was shot wasn't he? He's and old bloke it would take time for his arm to heal.
Son had police officers with him (I admit to rewinding that bit to check because I missed them first time. They were hard to spot) That seems to be the only way I can check about what happened when I get a bit confused and wonder if I dozed off and missed something!!

I am quite bemused and, no, I didn't fall asleep!

If you thought someone had broken into your flat would you creep around it in the dark? Or would you go out through the door again and phone the police, particularly if you were part of the investigating team in a dangerous operation? Did she know who it was? Was it the same man as in the wheelchair at the end who presumably going to die? The one she kissed? Who was the woman with the curly hair?
Why did Baptiste wait two months to update Edward? Why was his arm still in a sling two months later?
How come the son, looking immaculate, was wandering around out of prison looking at his mother's memorial stone?

Does anyone know?
I found the last episode very unsatisfactory.

Yes I thought that eventually. Strange ending but I had become totally hypnotised by the son's eyebrows. Did anyone else notice them? They were so thick and black.
I was wondering about a future series-Baptiste and Genevieve?
