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

Joyfulnanna Wed 24-Apr-19 20:04:10

I couldn't watch it if I couldn't follow it..it's the highlight of my week.

oldgimmer1 Wed 24-Apr-19 22:43:45

I'm surprised Steve wasn't disciplined for insubordination. Wee g..s..e indeed!

Gonegirl Wed 24-Apr-19 22:47:02

Son, who usually explains things to me (not just tv progs either) won't explain this because he says it's just too ridiculous.

I think that's really mean. Sigh.

Gonegirl Wed 24-Apr-19 22:49:30

I think H is that woman who what'isname has been having it off with.

Grannyrebel27 Wed 24-Apr-19 22:51:08

Who is H? If it turns out to be Hastings I'll lose all faith in humanity!

Gonegirl Wed 24-Apr-19 23:01:06

Hastings! That's who I meant by what'isname.

I don't think it's him though.

Namsnanny Wed 24-Apr-19 23:04:35

Gonegirl…. Her name is Gill Biggeloe, good theory!! smile

Callistemon Thu 25-Apr-19 13:48:00

I am trying to work out a convoluted connection between the letter H and Gill Biggeloe
Billy Biggelow, Carousel, Oscar Hammerstein?

Perhaps not.

humptydumpty Thu 25-Apr-19 14:06:01

Hmmm - I don't want to believe it's Hastings either but...

Gonegirl Thu 25-Apr-19 16:38:19

That's it namsnanny! She's a lawyer.

I hope that Ted does not turn out to be Hastings but he is looking increasingly shifty with his actions.

Iam64 Thu 25-Apr-19 18:59:59

Nah Charleygirl5 ( and other Doubting Thomasinas) it definately (see) isn't Ted. Ted is a Good Guy.

I suspect Big Giggelow (ak as Gill Biggleoe). of being a thoroughly Bad Lot who for some nefarious reason was after Ted's DNA so he could be framed then blackmailed.

I also still believe Lisa is Ted's deep UCO in the OCG. That or M15.

I can't believe Kate Fleming is H. She isn't senior enough in the Police to be H.

Maggiemaybe Thu 25-Apr-19 19:50:35

It isn’t Ted, it can’t be Ted (stamps foot and pouts petulantly). And definitely not Kate, who’s a 100% good egg. Who’s left? The Detective Chief Constable Ted keeps consulting, or the new Chief Super arriving next week (Anna Maxwell Martin - love her!)? Unfortunately they haven’t an H between them. hmm

I’m rooting for Pittcity’s theory about flat H. I watched part of the episode again when DH was catching up, and the camera definitely lingered meaningfully over the letter B on Terry’s door....

Iam64 Thu 25-Apr-19 20:00:28

I've given up on H as a clue, other than as some kind of nick name for either an organisation and its key personnel, or a Thoroughly Bad Egg who fronts such an organisation.

Who'd believe Dot Cotton anyway, even on his death bed. I know we suspend belief but not totally.

Maggiemaybe - it isn't Ted, it can't be Ted. I'm not even driven to foot stamping or petulant behaviour. IT ISN'T TED - RIGHT!!!

Callistemon Thu 25-Apr-19 23:00:46

I also still believe Lisa is Ted's deep UCO in the OCG. That or M15.
Yes, definitely (definately)

Callistemon Thu 25-Apr-19 23:02:07

I am getting lost with this thread so there is no hope for me watching Line of Duty!

kittylester Fri 26-Apr-19 06:16:16

It cant be Kate - she does lots of good work for the Alzheimers Society- or is that just in real life! confused

travelsafar Fri 26-Apr-19 07:24:49

Callistemon I belive that Lisa is also an UCO, she was so upset when John was killed, i expect she is worrying for herself now incase she gets discovered too. Can't wait to find out the answers to all our questions. smile

Charleygirl5 Fri 26-Apr-19 09:21:38

This Sunday is the second last- will there be another series?

tanith Fri 26-Apr-19 09:24:57

I read there is a sixth series possible Charleygirl5

trisher Fri 26-Apr-19 10:11:35

Yes it is in the paper there will be a 6th series!!! Does this mean we still won't know who H is? And will we be left thinking Hastings is a baddie? If that is the case I don't think I could stand it. We will need a Clear Ted campaign.

Charleygirl5 Fri 26-Apr-19 10:17:44

Luckily I have recorded everything so my evenings have been taken care of. I have to return to before Dot Cotton was killed so I have a few gaps in my knowledge.

Iam64 Fri 26-Apr-19 12:56:14

Ted is Innocent - I will wear the T-shirt if this series ends without making that clear. Mind you, has any previous series ended leaving us clear about anything much?!

I've seen some grand T-shirts on line with Ted Sayings on them. It's great when the nation comes together over something isn't it. LoD seems to be one of the few things the country agrees on, we may not agree who is Bad/Good/Bent but, most of us anyway, agree this is gripping telly.

I've been watching some old episodes and I'm thinking H is Gilly Giggalow (I know, wrong spelling). In Season three she tells Hastings that he's made a Big Mistake but it's not The Biggest! Is she getting her own back? Or maybe not. Who know? Who am I, what's happening?

Charleygirl5 Sat 27-Apr-19 17:38:25

I cannot see H being a lawyer- I think he/she is a policeman and one with a higher rank than Kate or God forbid, Steve.
