Oh wow! I have gone back to episode one and it is so good, so relevant.

We're still catching up with series one, with Gina McKee. I usually hate any graphic violence, but I always find her so unbelievably irritating, I was positively glad when she had her threat cut. ?
Will enjoy it even more now?
That is, unless she turns out not to be dead after all....

I find Gina McKee irritating too, but I think she's good in this.

I've the feeling we haven't seen the last of her - even if she is in bits in a freezer somewhere!

What a great series, I have watched from series 1 again.
It's a binge worthy series.
It's incredible how this writer weaves a plot so complex you could watch it again and totally enjoy it.

Good episode last night, shall have to watch again tho
before next weeks so I know what’s going on?

tanith Mon 15-Apr-19 11:09:36

I had to google Hargreaves as I couldn’t put a face to the name. ?

Nannylovesshopping Mon 15-Apr-19 11:31:59

?me too, thought it was Hastings at first!

Does anyone else think that the Grammar Police (TGP) should be called?
Are "H" and "Haitch" two different people?
The person typing spelt definitely wrong too!!

tanith, my first reaction was “But surely he’s already dead?”. I was thinking of Hilton. blush

Discussion in my house last night about meaning of OCG. BBC quiz put me right - thanks for link. Also noticed spelling error in typed response to phone call - might be some kind of clue?

HootyMcOwlface Mon 15-Apr-19 13:10:30

What on earth is Ted up to with that computer?! I hope that chap doesn’t scam him again re that investment, sounds very dodgy!

sodapop Mon 15-Apr-19 16:47:08

Exactly my thoughts Hooty

I could hear myself sighing through last nights episode at all the speeches that seemed to consist of letters and numbers. I am finding this series to wordy and unbelievable. I may give up or I may ask DH what the hell is going on.

Callistemon Mon 15-Apr-19 18:09:30

My DH asked me what was going on - I said if he hadn't nodded off for a few minutes he might know!
(It was better than trying to explain to him)

Charleygirl5 Mon 15-Apr-19 18:55:45

I am pleased to hear it is not only me not really with it 100%. I am pleased I recorded it because I may have to watch it again before Sunday.

Why has Hastings allowed himself to go down the ‘casting couch’ route, it’s obviously a ploy of some sort.

Surely they aren’t setting up Arnott again as a scapegoat, that is pushing credulity too far.

Interesting series which gets the old brain working.

trisher Mon 15-Apr-19 19:21:08

I think Ted's being set up - money from dodgy sources in his account? But what he's doing with the computer I don't know. Mind you what is he up to inviting her back to his hotel room?

Auntieflo Mon 15-Apr-19 20:25:43

Teetime, the list of abbreviations gets worse each week it seems. Are we supposed to be doing our homework?
This week it was CHIS?? Can anyone enlighten us please?

Iam64 Mon 15-Apr-19 20:26:57

what trisher said - Ted is being set up. Is that awful woman H or someone linked to OCG?
Steve is definitely being set up, you'd have thought his previous experience would have made him more cautious.

Is Kate corrupt? I do hope not, I'm with Ted, they're his best team.

Jed M writes a great script doesn't he. I missed a couple of key sentences last night and may well watch again before next Monday. My fear is Ted will end up in the clink .....

Sara65 Mon 15-Apr-19 21:14:27

All my colleagues talk about this non stop, they assured me that it wasn’t necessary to have watched previous series, but I’ve watched two episodes now, and I really don’t know what’s going on, or who anyone is! Think I may have to abandon it

maryeliza54 Mon 15-Apr-19 22:43:34

Sara imo your colleagues are wrong?

Callistemon Mon 15-Apr-19 22:48:25

Is that awful woman H
My thoughts too?

Auntieflo Tue 16-Apr-19 08:18:18

Chaffinch thanks. Are you in the know grin

No, I cheated and googled it! I had done the Line of Duty acronyms quiz earlier, didn’t know the answer to about three questions, that was one of them.

Washerwoman Tue 16-Apr-19 20:29:39

I'm still enjoying it but found myself chuckling when Kate and Steve were having one of their aside conversations with all the abbreviations,arms folded and looking deadly serious Suddenly I had an image of French and Saunders doing one of their send up sketches and wondering which role each would take !
