Yes - finally. About to start tonight. 7 episodes. This is in my top three of great crime drama series. The Bridge is second with Shetland third.

The phone will be on silent and MrM had better not interrupt my pleasure. I think he's tempted to watch it though.

Jed Mercurio never ceases to come up with a great story line. Series 3 was probably be best so far for me.

My first thought was Ryan

The way he said “Jo” with gun to her head ....Jo, not Mum.

Dryden is Scottish???

Other theories include Nigel Morton. Neil Morrissey was rumoured to be making a reappearance in this series.

I thought that character was dead?

Might start from episode 1 again and get my chart started???.

It is such good writing though because if it does link to the past the writer must have had a massive plan, right from the beginning.

I believe they are both alive Whitewave
Dryden serving a suspended sentence and Morton retired.

Yes you’re right Pittcity I’m off for a walk in the snow flurry and I’ll be listening to the ‘mad about LOD’ podcast on BBC sounds as I go.

Atqui

Thought the photo was of the second DNA owner. Ryan? The deputy chief constable?
She threw a wine glass at a picture of her mother.

I thought the other woman looked more the age of a sister than a mother?

Because of the way Steve confirmed at the interview (I love an LOD interview!) that Lakewell hadn’t told him anything, we can be sure that he did, can’t we?

And what about the female officer who gave Josie a leg up to the top of the van because she couldn’t climb up herself. That was convenient. hmm

I must say I’d never heard of Josie (or was it Jonesy) till then. Did I miss something?

suziewoozie Mon 12-Apr-21 09:58:32

Atqui when did she throw the glass at the photo please? I’m still obsessed by her ?

WW2 we need a big white board with post-its and bits of coloured string!
It really is such a good programme, love it.

Yes please! grin
But this thread is good at filling in missing bits and reminders of who's who

Nigel retired, I do remember that

Lucca

The way he said “Jo” with gun to her head ....Jo, not Mum.

He had a Mum who was hopeless and neglected him - surely there is some connection though other than the OCG?

Maggiemaybe Mon 12-Apr-21 10:56:57

What about the person on the photo in the wine glass throwing incident being Ryan’s late neglectful mum, and - da da - the sister of Jo?

Callistemon Mon 12-Apr-21 11:25:05

Aunty Jo?

Please what scene was this - which episode ?

tanith Mon 12-Apr-21 11:56:27

I think it was the first time we saw Jo in her flat so episode 1 or 2

Thank you - have nothing better to do today ( that I want to do) so off I go

WW2/Jaxjacky - or window - as I've seen done. Patio door should
do it. ?

Ro60 Mon 12-Apr-21 12:38:34

Suziewoozie : yes it was right at the beginning of episode 1.

Maggiemaybe Mon 12-Apr-21 12:42:42

I was thinking it was later in the episode (definitely the first one though). It was after she told Farida she didn’t have a family, and went to the flat with the hugely impressive array of locks and bolts.

Maggiemaybe Mon 12-Apr-21 12:46:28

This is the photo.

suziewoozie Mon 12-Apr-21 12:55:57

Thanks very much for your help ?

Maggiemaybe Mon 12-Apr-21 12:56:05

The mystery woman looks remarkably like someone I used to work with, but I don’t think she’s the type to be a CHIS or an OCG boss. grin

Whitewavemark2 Mon 12-Apr-21 13:11:39

Of course thinking about it most people including me have assumed H to be a male.

So any ideas for a female H?

Callistemon Mon 12-Apr-21 14:20:51

A sister by another mother?
One is Scottish, one Manchester?

Callistemon Mon 12-Apr-21 14:27:14

Oh dear, DH are having one of those conversations:

"So, who is the CHIS? Should she have gone to AC12 and said one of her MIT was part of OCG? And what about the PCC? Don't like the DCC either"

Callistemon Mon 12-Apr-21 14:28:53

Sorry, DH and I

(This is getting to me, when you wake up thinking about it, then it gets worrying!)

grandmajet Mon 12-Apr-21 14:32:19

We were thinking the unthinkable. Is Ted actually H after all?
