Line of Duty - Series 6

Thanks Maggimaybe too. Can’t believe I spend an hour watching a tv drama , and then more time reading blogs ( are they blogs?) trying to work out what’s going on. Note to self , Don’t get sucked into something if you have missed series 1-4!!

Is Anna maxwell martin character a tad OTT ?

Also what’s a PIM ?

But... can’t wait for next episode?

Could Carmichael be H? All the talk of a fourth man may be yet another red herring.

I just asked Alexa who is H ??

Not only do I need a note book for yesterday's episode but also I need to review all the series, I am getting people muddled somewhat.

PIM is post incident manager.

Jack Dee has tweeted that it's quicker to say Gun Shot Wound than GSW!!

Sunday evenings will be so empty in three weeks!

It was a great episode but the number of abbreviations used made my head spin.

Jane43 I am just the same. I love the programme but I am beginning to think I need a degree to follow it.

Or be a member or ex member of police force!!

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

So does my tablet. I had to persist

I agree about the abbreviations. with a clinical background I am used to a lot of acronyms but I think the writer is making a lot of these up and including them for the fun of it.

Podcast was good - Vicky McClure was interviewed.

Atqui My MrM wanted to know what all the fuss was about and watched the first with me. I've seen all the series twice through.
He had so many questions whilst watching it so decided not to watch any more. He's now working through the other series.

Jaxjacky. I'll watch them all again?

Are there any plot spoilers on the podcast? (before I watch). It’s the best thing that’s been on TV for ages. Worth the licence fee on its own!
I thought Adrian Dunbar was good on Have I got News last Friday.

How did Jo plan to get away with killing Kate? Didn't she think that if you say, in effect, "Don't meet me in the pub, meet me in a dark, deserted lorry park," they might be suspicious and tell someone? Particularly if they have been an undercover cop with a history of dealing with bent coppers? How would she have explained that she asked Kate to the meeting where she was killed?

I fear that Ryan may be dead but I hope not. He was an excellent baddie.

Considering Steve's serious back problem, it doesn't seem to hinder him. He was able to get bounced around in the armoured car last week and still shoot someone through an open window, and he ran like hell to the workshop when shots were fired. Of course, he does have the impotence problem, and the addiction. Is he ever going to get a drugs test?

Husband showed me a photo today of Kate and Jo standing beside each other. Jo with hands in air, Kate with hands down by her side. Police car with flashing blue lights beside them. No sign in photo of bad boy Ryan. This may of course be a set up photo. Can’t wait until Sunday.

Bluecat I agree the suspicious location for the meeting was was just not normal, and likely to have alarmed Kate. Can't work that one out yet.
I also hope Ryan survives, although the game is over now his OCG identity is officially known. He can't go back to working with the Police and we can't spy on him any more, which I was enjoying! Maybe he will be used to set the gang up for a sting. I really hope he plays an important role in catching them!

Kate agreed to the suspicious meet place because she believed surveillance was in place. She didn’t know Carmichael had arrived and pulled it. Thank goodness she texted her mate

Thanks Iam64

Sometimes I think I need to watch every episode twice!

Callistemon - I suspect I need Therapy. I sat down last night to watch episode 1 of series 2, to nudge what’s left of my memory into remembering Tommy Hunter. It reminded me what a good actor Keeley Hawes is.

I'd missed those first time round so binge watched them recently.
Yes, she is excellent (and not a scrap of makeup by the look of it!).

Jed Mercurio must have a fantastic brain to keep all these characters and storylines linked, like one huge spider's web.

I wonder if he keeps a spreadsheet or a kind of 'family tree'. ?

If he does , I’d like a copy!

I think Kate shot Ryan x2 and finishes him off and she gets injured but does not die from that shootout. Jo did not have a gun- I think she survives.
