Line of Duty

Gonegirl….Yes your sons right!!
That's why I like it, things get staged in one series then answered in the next!!
Keeps us on our toes!!

Namsnanny, that's exactly what I did. ?

Ryan will be interesting to watch next series. Could they not tell from that smerky smile that he's a wrong 'un
Dot's morse code thing confused me, how did Steve work out what he was trying to tell them ? and I'm not 100% clear on his explanation.
Is it just me who thinks the under cover cop may have been Ted's son. Given his reaction to who his mum was.

Throughly enjoyed last night's Line of Duty. ninathenana I thought exactly the same.

I was underwhelmed by last episode, and a bit disappointed truth to tell. Although I think Anna Maxwell Martin was great in her role, my subtitle button didn’t work and I found her rather quiet measured tones hard to follow. Also the interview scenes went on a bit.
I too wondered if John was Ted’s son, he seemed so distraught hearing he was the woman’s son.
And why did Ted visit that chap in prison?
Wish we had seen more of Kate and Steve, always feel things will work out if Kate’s there!

What a let down!

I loved it! I'm hoping someone will explain the money to me properly and where all the armed police went to.

There will be more questions later as they come to me.

Wasn't it brilliant?

Nina, we also thought that John may be Ted's son.
Then when he saw John's wife at the cemetery, he was carrying a brown envelope/parcel. Could that have been the missing money, for her?

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. There had been mention of a sixth series so I thought we probably wouldn't know who H was in this one.
I think John may have been Hasting's son, he obviously didn't know that Anne Marie was pregnant and became very upset when he found out.
Looking forward to series six whenever that may be.

I wonder if those police officers who managed to watch the series reached the right conclusion ?

I enjoyed it as well. I agree the interview scenes did drag a little and I found the dialogue hard to follow on occasions.
I saw that as well AuntieFlo and wondered if it was the missing money. The series held my interest throughout and my husband's which says a lot. Looking forward to the next series.

Where did that money that Ted had come from ? Why was Gill framing Ted, Was John Teds son, it was brilliant but left me with a lot of unanswered questions , and I did try to keep up !!

I'm convinced the envelope Ted took to the cemetery was the missing money.

Thoroughly enjoyed it and I guessed the culprit!
However, what made her try to frame Ted. Nina ? I too am convinced that the missing £50,000 was in the envelope.
Will this come back to " bite" Ted in the next serious. ?

But, where did the armed police all go?

The envelope was the other £50,000 which Ted had hidden somewhere. He isn't John's son, by the time he met Ann Marie, John had already been born. We discovered that Ted feels guilty that the contact Ann Marie had with him as an informant led to her death. I think he did tell the chap in prison that John Corbett was UCO and that led the OCG to kill him - hence Ted's guilt and decision to give the ill gotten gains to John's widow.

kittylester, the armed police were set down by the senior investigating officer. She believed they were safe as they'd caught H. Thank goodness for Kate n Steve.

Kate had the best line of the series 'stop making a tit of yourself and p*ss off".

I had it worked out before started watching last night, I enjoyed the series and the last 1.5 hours was brilliant.

On reflection I don't believe Ted did expose John Corbett as an UCO, it was the OCG in the shape of Gill Bigelow who got John killed, so they could frame Ted for the murder by planting the hairs Gill took from ted's hair brush. Phew -

I also was let down by the ending. I am going to have to watch the entire series because I do not have a clue who Ryan is or where he appeared from-no, I was not asleep.

I think the last dot has to be one of the high ranking female police officers- there is nobody else left!

But where were the other armed officer - AC12's normal ones?

It was exciting viewing. At first I felt that Ted could have been John's dad but it doesn't add up. I went on the Digital Spy website which helped to explain some of the loose ends.

Charleygirl5 do you remember way back in the first series he was the young lad on the BMX bike delivering messages etc for the drugs gang.
Who is that high up blond officer in the skirt and blouse uniform? Not sure of her as she seems to be the only higher up left to blame.

Thats a puzzle Kitty I think it left more questions than answers and Ted is still not off the hook! Can't wait for the next series.

Dh and I have resolved to watch from the very start before the next series.

I think the senior investigating officer’s sidekick, Michelle, will return as a baddie.
She was too sly and perpetually eavesdropped.
I think Ryan was in the OCG.
Can’t wait for the next series, although it will be the last.
I’m currently hooked on Boddies on BBC iplayer 111, another Joe Mercurio series set in a Gyne and Obs ward of a hospital. A bit gory.
