Anyone watching this? The problem with watching The Bridge is that all other police dramas seem rubbish afterwards. I think this is the first one that can compare favourably in any way. I remember the first series but this is better.

Blowed if I know NanKate . We are going to watch it again and, if it becomes clear, I'll let you know! grin

Was a tad disappointed with the final Line of Duty, mainly because I wanted D I Denton to walk free. However I have just read online the Telegraph Review of the final episode and it clarifies who did what and I found that helpful.

Now for a question for Gransnetters - what was the significance of Denton meeting the girl (in a flash back) who in fact wasn't murdered and the discussion about the necklace ? They showed that bit twice so it must have been important.

I hope it isn't Dot as I have a soft spot for him!

Marelli Fri 14-Mar-14 17:40:48

Oh - got him! Thank you! grin

I've just read a blog analysing this latest episode, and I'm relieved to know that everyone else seems just as confused as we are!

Ana Fri 14-Mar-14 16:33:11

It's DS Matt Cotton (nicknamed 'Dot' after the Eastenders character).
He's the one with the rather long face...

Marelli ditto blush...

Marelli Fri 14-Mar-14 15:24:13

Who is 'Dot'? confused

MaggieP Fri 14-Mar-14 11:49:32

We watched the first series also, but please enlighten me as I can't remember, wasn't Neil Morrissey in that series?
This one is so gripping and like you I cannot decide if Lindsay is more involved that we first thought. Superb acting with the interview of the Boss!

Ana Fri 14-Mar-14 10:54:54

But why would Neil Morrissey's character have explained why he got the nickname if Dot just wanted him to say who The Caddy was? It seemed genuine enough to me.

Aka Fri 14-Mar-14 09:48:48

But wasn't it 'Dot' that used a sort of blackmail to get other to say that???

Only wondering....

Lona Fri 14-Mar-14 09:31:57

Aka I thought the last dead cop was the 'Caddy'?

Aka Fri 14-Mar-14 08:04:16

That 'Dot' chappy seems very dodgy to me. Could he be The Caddy?

kittylester Fri 14-Mar-14 07:36:26

We caught up with this last night - blimey!!!

Lona Thu 13-Mar-14 09:38:52

Brilliant episode!
Does anyone else think that maybe the C.Super (with the nasal problem)
is a baddy, as accused by the ACC Dryden?

Or...... is it her again?

Charleygirl Thu 13-Mar-14 09:16:34

Last week I thought that I had it all worked out but after watching last night's episode, I am none the wiser.

PRINTMISS Thu 13-Mar-14 07:39:02

SO, who is the baddie then - what excellent acting and story line, like you maxdrans can't wait for next week - although we are going to have to aren't we?

maxdrans Thu 13-Mar-14 01:45:05

I agree not sure about any thing can't wait for next week

Aka Thu 13-Mar-14 01:36:00

Yes, starting to put all these OTT acts of violence together and wonder???

Ana Wed 12-Mar-14 23:02:12

Well, I thought I had it all worked out, but now I'm not so sure...confused

Can't wait for the last episode next week!

Point taken Lona.

Lona Sun 09-Mar-14 08:42:47

NanKate If we knew the answer to that we wouldn't need to watch the next episode! grin
