Line of Duty

@namsnanny if you're still around: just remembered about the Balaclava.

It was where the MRSA was found that linked Roz forensically to Tim...MRSA grows in the nose, was deposited on the Balaclava Tim had been wearing and matched to Roz's cut.

So is Hastings H or is Hastings pretending to be H and do they believe he’s H and pretending to him they don’t think he actually is H??‍♀️ ?

I think this whole ‘putting Hastings in prison thing’ is a plan to flush out the real H but quite who’s in on it I’m at a loss to answer. It’s the last one next week can’t wait.

How did he know Lisa's name?

It's so sad that Miroslav died. He's been a baddy since the first series and I quite liked him in a macabre sort of way.

Or is H simply a McGuffin? Oh no I hope not or I would feel cheated.

Although I can’t wait for next weeks final, what would there be to look forward to on weekend TV when it’s all over?

There's bound to be a sting in the tale. Some things are too obvious !

One theory is that it's Gill Biggelow....GBH!!

I also wondered how Ted knew Lisa. If she is an undercover cop has she not crossed the line with the brutal killing of John Corbett?

I think when it’s finished I might watch the whole lot from the beginning as there is a lot of stuff I’ve forgotten about completely. I sometimes wonder if I must of missed some episodes it’s that bad ??

Apparently one theory is that Lisa is the love-child of Tony Gates and Jackie Laverty. Now that takes a lot of imagination.!

I'm glad I was proved right about Jackie turning up again - got something right at least! This paves the way for Ryan to take a bigger role, but as what?

I've got an awful feeling he may turn up as a copper - a bent one? As a kind of Dot-in-Waiting?

Ted seemed to know Lisa didn't he - moreso than just being familiar via the investigation.

Anyone else think that the visitor to the brothel could have been Ted (and not Hargreaves, as it was made to appear)?

And where did the rest of the £100k go? Ted left that package with the money in plain sight of cleaners etc (assuming, that is, that it WAS £100k Moffat gave him.

Big Gigolo is up to no good.

It did cross my mind that the interview Ryan mentioned might be for the police force.

And the “time to close it down” message Ted sent to the OCG laptop just before John was killed seemed to me to be aimed directly at Lisa. Though Ted did seem genuinely shocked to hear that John was dead (and I’m still rooting for him ).

Oh, I don’t know! Next week’s finale can’t come soon enough!

I loved the new boss in town though, DCS Carmichael. Terrifying - she really ripped into poor old Ted, didn’t she?

I do hope she doesn’t turn out to be H and get offed in the last episode.

I am running out of people to suspect of being H. Poor Ted has got himself into a right mess. However, he has had to cope with his marriage breakup, his wife being tortured, his money worries and also being homeless so I don’t blame him for having a breakdown of judgement. But..... he has also been looking very shifty and I don’t know what to think. I can’t wait until next Sunday.

We could of course be left hanging until the next series!

Maybe Ted will get sent down and the last series will be to clear his name. We'll need lots of "Ted is Innocent" t-shirts.

I will wear a Ted is innocent T shirt but it also occurred to me that it would not be resolved this series. Grrr!

Right! Listen up you wee witches!! I want answers and I want them NOW!!

Right! Calling all Gransnetters, I don't understand whats going on in LofD, but I'm sure you do...who's 'H'?

Metadata has been harvested from ACO to suggest UCG hasn't met the criteria laid down in regulation 69ac/dc, section 4 1/2 J, paragraph 100.001, highlighted in orange.
So this is now a code blue.

Information informing me of more detailed information has been gleaned from ACO = 'Ace Cuppa Organiser' (otherwise known as 'H' ubby, in our house). To suggest that the UCG = 'Unique Conversations on Gransnet' are in dangerous territory, i.e. DHAC = 'Don't Have A Clue'.

As you well know, it is my right to be questioned by an officer one rank senior.
I demand said rights and will only speak to Gill Biggenuff.
Who, I may say is PDSA affiliated, DWP federated AND a bonifide member of Age Concern!
As a trusted member of my team she is more than qualified (a 38D in my estimation) to sort this mess out
Ha! Now we're cooking with diesel!

But WTF = 'What The Flippin' heck' does 'H'ubby know, he only watches it for the totty??!!
So as no one here can help, I need someone to 'measure' up to Gill, and organise the clues so I can understand.
Ha! Now we're making sense!

Over and Out, Roger Wilko, Till Next Time, Cuff Him Danno, They Don't Like It Up 'Em (Ooops! sorry got a bit over excited, wrong genre!!)
Mind How You Go!

Namsnanny
Mind you if your ACO is H please will he hand himself in and let our Ted go free.

trisher……..I know!! Cant be Ted can it??? Its just another cliff hanger to get us through to the next series surely? A bit like the Lyndsey Denton script.

I mentioned earlier that I've only just started watching this so I'm even more puzzled than the rest of you!
I'm damned if I can recall who the heck is Roz.
Anyway, here's my (half-baked) theory - which is probably completely wrong!
Could John Corbett have been 'H' but pretending it's someone else? Could he be trying to pin it on Ted for revenge - could Ted have killed John's mother?
Waiting with bated breath and hope it's resolved this series or I'll need another recap!

Did all you fervent LOD followers, notice that in the last screen shot, our Ted had a smirk on his face?

I love this programme not even going to hazard a guess who H is I change my mind every episode my latest theory is the lawyer Gill is trying to set Hastings up ?
Just one thing that really gets on our nerves when we watch is Kate and Steve keep calling each other mate in “mockney”
accents. Just call each other by your bloody names

Oh! I've been reliably informed (by he who must be obeyed) that I've got it wrong it should read 'Book'im Dano'!! Not cuff, and 'Evening all' not Till next time!!!
Oh well
