Shetland - help!!!

Fair Isle is around 3 hours from Lerwick by ferry so not readily accessible even in good weather. Think there are only around 4/5 dozen residents.

I assumed that Jimmy was a Shetlander from the BBC website - I got it wrong then.

He is but not from the main island. He would know his classmate cohort from secondary school but not necessarily the wider community on the main island.

He didnt settle on shetland until I think he moved back with fran from ??London?? But I think he did a stint in Glasgow at some point too as far as I know.

Fair Isle is not very accessible you wouldnt regularly pop over to lerwick. The fair isle secondary students boarded/lodged and weather dependant went back to fair Isle for the holidays. It cant as far as I know be accessed by big ferries etc its quite a rough plane landing too going by the book.

Fair Isle is a very different self contained community

Alice's husband went out so was he trafficking these poor souls?
Alice, in the meantime, has been designated to keep Jimmy occupied.

I thought that was how it worked Marydoll, but wasn't sure. Thank you.
Rather like our CPS

She doesn't seem very busy - the devil makes work for idle hands so they say.

Bluebelle I thought perhaps whoever was transporting the trafficked people on the boat panicked and threw them overboard.

Yes. That's what I think Bluebell. Getting really bad now.

Gonegirl I might be wrong but I was presuming that the bodies were the next lot of people trafficked and the boat had hit trouble but I may be quite wrong (I usually am)

In Scotland the procurator fiscal is a lawyer who works for the Crown Office, Jimmy Perez works for Police Scotland, they are two different bodies.
At times they work together on joint protocols.
The police gather the evidence and report to the Fiscal, who then decides whether to prosocute or not.

I think that's the gist of it!

Rhona is Procurator Fiscal and therefore Jimmy’s boss. In series four (I think) she was having a relationship with her boss, Phyllis Brennan, played by Anna Chancellor, who I think had some sort of cloud hanging over her at the end but I can’t remember what it was.

But what's with the bodies in the sea? It gets worse!

Fairisle is one of the Shetland Islands though, it’s south of the main island.

notanan yes, she is hanging around a lot - I just thought it was beacause she didn't have a lot to do!
Is she Perez's boss or is she the Procurator Fiscal or is that the same thing? I'm not sure of the system in Scotland.

I assumed that Jimmy was a Shetlander from the BBC website - I got it wrong then.

Thanks notanan I definitely missed that bit.

Jimmy Perez is (as I understand it) a Shetlander.

Jimmy is from fair Isle then moved south I think

She saw her son on the news and travelled to shetland lemongrove

There are probably people deep undercover within the crime ring and Perez's boss is sabotaging his "little" investigations to protect the bigger investigations IYKWIM.

She is hanging about the station a lot..

I think I must have dropped off early in the series, as I can’t work out why Zezi’s Mum is on Shetland? She is staying at the hotel there but why?
She has a Southern English accent so obviously didn’t live in the Shetlands ( or grow up there?)

I’ve started reading the books as Imwanted tomknow the back story of Perez and Fran. It’s quite interesting going from current TV and back tomwhen Cassie was a child. I wondered if Tosh s new boyfriend was a baddie, but surely Tosh would be more professional than to give away the ransom set up?

Greyduster?Luckygirl,I think I may have to buy the Radio Times!

All I will say is that if you get next week's Radio Times there are some hints dropped that support one of the above theories!

Plot is very complicated this time- hope everything will get clearer in last episode. I enjoy these dramas- looking forward to next series of Line of Duty. It’s the speculation and discussions about suspicions that make them fun.

My OH suspects Sandy but I have more suspicions about Alice

We're here for him Greyduster

Gosh, Susan56! If that happens he’ll go into more of an emotional decline than he’s in now and join Duncan on the beach! They’ll probably walk into the sea together!

I think we should write the last episode.

Is Alice using her 'safe refuges' to house some of the people being trafficked?

Jalima,definitely!!

I second that Susan56 - well, we have to get rid of her somehow!
