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.

Oh, and the picture was definitely Jo Davidson.

What a cracking episode tonight. The suspense was unbearable as that convoy was speeding along and we just knew that something terrible was about to happen. And then the DNA! However, Ted is determined to follow the letter of the law ..THE LETTER and he will.

Curlywhirly Sun 11-Apr-21 23:58:47

Steve definitely said the DNA related to a 'he' (I had the subtitles on!). Lots of speculation that it's Tommy Hunter, can't remember who he was, and which series he was from ?

Love it but hate it when they refer to old series.....I can never remember what happened

tanith Sun 11-Apr-21 22:54:41

3 more episodes, oh no what are we gonna do when it’s over ?

Atqui Sun 11-Apr-21 22:51:08

How many more episodes?

Callistemon Sun 11-Apr-21 22:50:39

That's the problem with DNA - you never know when it might pop up and incriminate you grin

Atqui Sun 11-Apr-21 22:47:49

Those two police officers in prison are gonna have a very nasty time .

Doodledog Sun 11-Apr-21 22:47:26

Oh well, maybe she is - it's certainly got everyone thinking!

The mysterious relative could also be Corbett, though - his widow has had a role in this series, and he did seem to be 'in deep' in the last one.

Callistemon Sun 11-Apr-21 22:41:18

She looks at least 40, I think - well old enough to be the mother of a 18 year old.

Actually, I think Kelly MacDonald is 45.

^Tommy Hunter was the leader of the OCG group in the early series. He was Scottish, like Jo.^

Could Ryan be their love-child, given up for adoption?

Jo isn't old enough to be Ryan's mother - I think she might be Hunter's daughter.

I will probably have a different theory this time next week though grin.

Atqui Sun 11-Apr-21 22:38:44

And the commissioner is definitely dodgy

Just saw a high hairline, couldn't work out if it was a male or female! Going to be a long week waiting to find out!

I just love the waiting though don’t you - deferred gratification. The excitement of waking up on Sunday morning and thinking it’s tonight ??

I just went frame by frame through the last scenes on iplayer. I have no life at all.... I think the photo was just Davidson!

It was grin.

The other photo wasn't visible to us.

Atqui Sun 11-Apr-21 22:23:38

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.

Lucca Sun 11-Apr-21 22:23:23

Wasn’t Hastings on excellent form tonight with the withering looks and scathing comments in that Buckells interview!

tanith Sun 11-Apr-21 22:21:56

Someone with short dark hair it could of been Kate but my moneys on the the high ranking woman officer. Her Mother maybe? Come to think of it Jo has the look of ‘Dot’ about her.
I give up could be anyone.

Polarbear2 Sun 11-Apr-21 22:21:39

Ryan Pilkington. Most hated man in the UK now???

We wondered if it was that high ranking woman who is on Hastings back.

Something has been driving me potty about her but I don’t know if I’ve just dreamt it. In an earlier series towards its end I have a memory of the camera panning round on to her looking out of an upstairs window onto the scene below where something had occurred - I remember thinking what’s she doing there and then the scene ended. Have I made that up?

Littleannie Sun 11-Apr-21 22:17:13

I don't remember them saying it was a male

Welshwife Sun 11-Apr-21 22:16:06

Gosh - we missed the fact it was a male
