Good to see the new series of this. Looks promising.

Nicola Walker looking as miserable as ever, but I don’t suppose she had a lot to look happy about really.

Several back stories going on behind the obvious suspects.

Always the quiet one.

Liz. Regrets one moment. Maybe using the pen to stab the boy with?

Just thinking why ‘Unforgotten’ is such a good watch.

Unlike so many other police dramas, it has a quiet, almost restful quality to it, perhaps because they are dealing with old cases. Cassie, despite her personal issues, seems such a great boss, mindful of her team, giving praise and thanks when due.
Lovely relationship with Sunny, no distractions with torrid sex on the sidelines, the whole team giving their all.

If this is the last series, it’s a shame, but better to go out on a high.

If she dies it will be dreadful for her father having called her an **sehole and refusing her calls

Urmstongran Tue 23-Mar-21 20:00:03

Yes and yes Atqui

Yes, it’s so much nicer to chat about the programme together properly.

And yes I agree about disclosing Dean’s address to his mum! What if Dean has been furious? Cassie would’ve been severely disciplined. Mind you it was understandable. She did say no at first. But then, the woman was dying. She ought to have asked Dean first but probably knew he’d refuse to see her.

Atqui Tue 23-Mar-21 19:54:07

I’m pleased others agree with me about ‘spoilers’ .There’s not much point in having the thread, as pointed out by others, if you can’t discuss the programme as soon as it has been on air.
I thoughtbRham seemed most obvious ,mwhich is probably why he wasn’t the one that rammed Cassie. Another point- surely Cassie shouldn’t have disclosed Deans address to his estranged mother, especially as in the last series she was hauled over the coals for leaving a sensitive document in a cafe (;which I’m told would have meant dismissal,in real life policing).Any way can’t wait for the final episode, and must try not to get muddled with Line of Duty.

That crash was just so horrendous surely Cassie did not come out of that alive, never mind badly injured?

Re Ram and his father- could his father still not like the idea he joined the police force and has continued this sulk for so many years?

JulieNoted Tue 23-Mar-21 19:20:09

But who wouldn’t mind if they died doing it? Hmm

Fiona perhaps? Of all of them she seems the most unstable, about to lose her living, her house, her husband. Those losses could be enough to tip her over the edge.

Or Liz? She has so much at stake in terms of her career, loss of reputation etc. I'm not sure she would be able to cope with prison. But on the whole I think she's too cold and calculating to put herself at risk like that; she'd find another way to get rid of Cassie without harming herself.

Urmstongran, really good point. Ram must have broken some kind of family or faith code. I think it’s rare for a Sikh Father to dismiss his son that way. Ram is a great character isn’t he. Also Dean, what a back story emerged there. His wife and children seem well loved and cared for by him

Urmstongran Tue 23-Mar-21 19:06:11

I too wonder why Ram’s dad refuses to even look at him. Surely it can’t just be because he left the family business? My money was on Ram driving that car but reading posts on here from you super sleuths, it seems too obvious. But who wouldn’t mind if they died doing it? Hmm.

The entry for the final episode in next week’s Radio Times starts “Despite a tragic turn of events, Sunny and the team ......”. No mention of Cassie, though she appears in the cast list. I wonder ....

Perhaps the 'tragic turn of events' is that whoever rammed Cassie's car dies?

^one of the women had been sexually assaulted by Robert Fogerty^
It's probably me who has got hold of the wrong end of the stick, but wasn't it Matthew Walsh who assaulted Fiona?

Sorry janeainsworth, of course it was. Although I'd concentrated on the series, I obviously wasn't concentrating on my little précis wink

Iam64 Tue 23-Mar-21 19:00:36

Let’s hope Cassie is ‘only’ in hospital so Sunny leads the team. I do want her to enjoy retirement, she’s earned it

That is concerning! Cassie could be in the cast list from flashbacks.

Yes, it was Matthew Walsh, which is why Ram chased him after spotting him when they were in the car, I think confused

mokryna Tue 23-Mar-21 18:15:37

Thank you

Jaxjacky Tue 23-Mar-21 17:41:23

Mokryna the strategy is to get dissent amongst the suspects, they don’t know which of them are in touch or not, plus, to hold them overnight, they have nothing that would stand up in a court, if challenged.

Iam64 Tue 23-Mar-21 17:20:46

Mokryna - would it be because Cassie didn’t have enough to charge the ACC, and Liz knew it. Or maybe just a plot device

grandmajet Tue 23-Mar-21 16:49:20

I’ve just watched it for the second time, it takes two goes for me to notice everything, and even then......
I have to do this with Line of Duty too. The plots are so complex, but so worth it.

Curlywhirly Tue 23-Mar-21 16:26:22

JulieNoted many thanks for that. It does now ring a bell - I was obviously not paying attention!

mokryna Tue 23-Mar-21 16:25:21

Could someone enlighten me please as to why the two women were not kept in the cells overnight for further questioning?

Greyduster Tue 23-Mar-21 16:05:38

Do we already know why Ram has a very unhappy relationship with his father, and I missed it, or is that still to come out?

Iam64 Tue 23-Mar-21 15:02:55

Ram would be a believable murderer but the other pointer is the way Flakey Fiona was so clear in the memories that pointed to him.
Liz has already covered up for Fiona when a child was killed By her drink driving.
Great series, I hope Cassie is ok
