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.

Yes, definately! ?
Aaaaaaargh! Is she ok?

Marydoll Sun 18-Apr-21 22:21:40

My dicky heart can't take the excitement of it all! I need to lie down. ?

Callistemon Sun 18-Apr-21 22:25:09

It must be Ted though??
Definately

I just asked Alexa... who is H.
Brilliant smile

Atqui Sun 18-Apr-21 22:32:06

Do we know he can’t spell?

grandmajet Sun 18-Apr-21 22:34:21

He spelt it like that in an earlier episode. Definately.

Atqui Sun 18-Apr-21 22:35:05

I asked Siri .. he declined to comment!!

Atqui Sun 18-Apr-21 22:36:23

Yes I remember H spelt it like that but why does that mean it’s Hastings. I thought it was the anonymous lap top

Atqui Sun 18-Apr-21 22:38:23

All too much for my small brain!!

tanith Sun 18-Apr-21 22:42:57

Hastings also spelled it that way I can’t remember when but I know he did.

merlotgran Sun 18-Apr-21 22:43:03

Gogglebox viewers needn't worry.

Jenny's on the case. grin

Atqui Sun 18-Apr-21 22:43:08

Ok . Googled it . Hastings can’t spell definitely !!

Callistemon Sun 18-Apr-21 22:47:08

Series 5:

While being grilled by AC-3’s DCS Patricia Carmichael (the brilliantly supercilious Anna Maxwell-Martin) for allegedly plotting to kill Corbett, Ted said it had all been part of his unauthorised undercover mission. He claimed to have closely studied the spelling habits of H and cunningly copied them.

As Carmichael said sceptically: ”You’re the SIO (senior investigating officer) on one of the biggest anti-corruption operations this force has ever seen and you have the headspace to learn to spell like H?” “Yes,” growled Hastings.

We correctly guessed Jo's relative last week...
...this week's question is who gets shot??

tanith Sun 18-Apr-21 22:52:44

I think Jo kills Ryan.

Maggiemaybe Sun 18-Apr-21 22:59:52

This is interesting, for those who want to check out other people’s theories. It comes with a big SPOILER ALERT warning though, so be warned!

If what they say is definately true, the runs of homozygosity in Jo’s DNA mean that she is the child of an incestuous relationship. I’m afraid I can’t get my head around what the implications of this may be.

I think Kate possibly shoots but that Steve and Hastings etc arrive and shoot straight away.

muse Sun 18-Apr-21 23:22:43

Can't believe there are only 2 eps left.

Jo doesn't carry a gun. I think Ryan shoots Jo to shut her up.

Going to have to watch it again tomorrow.

Charleygirl5 Sun 18-Apr-21 23:32:58

I was on the edge of my seat tonight but I managed to follow more than usual although acronyms were creeping in again. I cannot believe there are only 2 episodes left-Ted had better get a move on to find H if he does not want early retirement.

Callistemon, thanks for your summary on definitely and the link.
I’ve just found a flaw. This iPad corrects definitely every time I try to use an A

Calendargirl Mon 19-Apr-21 07:20:40

Two shots were fired weren’t they?

Our Kate won’t get herself killed, I’m sure. I hope it’s Jo and Ryan, have never liked her.

Hastings and Steve, the AC12 cavalry, wouldn’t have had time to get there surely?

Anna Maxwell Martin is so scary.

Atqui Mon 19-Apr-21 07:29:59

Thanks Calledtemon

Atqui Mon 19-Apr-21 07:30:25

Sorry Callestemon

grandmajet Mon 19-Apr-21 07:58:21

Thanks for the link, maggiemaybe, it answered a few questions.

Sparkling Mon 19-Apr-21 08:01:03

That's a good idea Amberstone, I need a notebook to keep up, last night was a cliff hanger. Are there really so many villains in our Police?
