Line of Duty - Series 6

Kate thought she recognised Ryan and when the car incident happened they checked him out on the database, realised who he was and that he has been with the OCG all along.
I'm glad Kate explained how Ryan had managed to get into the Police force because I was wondering that! No convictions since he was a child and so had dropped off the system. Hmm.....I'd say the system needs reforming!

Yes, they know he was OCG.

I thought Kate and Steve did realise who Ryan Pilkingron was - they were looking at photos of him - Steve mentioned how he nearly cut his fingers off.

Twitter has gone into meltdown with people spotting the H in the kitchen tiles!

Thanks Calendargirl. I thought I’d caught up but I think I’ve missed too much from previous series .

Sorry Me again with a question. Where did Ted get money that he gave to Steph?

It was the money the OCG gave Ted to bribe him.

So much went on in last nights episode I’m going to have to watch it again to get it all in my head. That prison guard who broke Farida’s wrist hasn’t been seen since she poured boiling water over Lindsey Denton's hands way back.
It certainly makes you take notice.

I thought that about Kate, Calendargirl, she needs to eat a few Easter eggs.
Also, yes, poor Steve, I want bouncy little Steve back on our screens. He should seek help.
Ted is sad too.
Oh dear, come on, you three, cheer up!

Poor Steve and his back!

He needs a bit of mothering.

Don’t know if Kate has lost weight in RL, but I find her hollow cheeks make her look very severe.

Great quiz! I got 22/27 - amazed at myself! Didn't reealise how much info had actually sunk in

Steve saw Hastings meet up with Steph maybe he’s suspicious and sent her to the car so he could plant a bug in her house.

If anyone is going my money's on Kate. Shes going to realise who that young copper really is, then......
I wondered how addicted to the pain killers Steve really is, or was the attack at the house just to see how long it takes for the info to get back to Hastings?

Between the Lines was advertised at the end of Line of Duty and I switched over to watch it. I thought it was very dated and not at all engaging. The main characters were definitely familiar to me and I'm sure I watched it at the time and enjoyed it.

If anyone is interested in a bit of vintage bent copper hunting I have just watched episode 1 of Between the Lines with Neil Pearson. It’s on BBC iplayer. .

Oh, all those loose ends to tie up in the final episode. I can’t wait. Steve will surely recognise Ryan the Rat when he gets to see him. I hope that he finds a good physio to sort out his back spasms though otherwise it is early retirement for him.

Re Arnott's back pain, I'm just wondering if he will be bumped off because there's a bleak future for him otherwise. Young man addicted to painkillers? I think Arnott may soon be for the chop.

Thanks Seacliff for no spoilers. I'm watching Unforgotten tomorrow. I've just caught up with LoD tonight. Brilliant.

MrM hasn't seen any of the other series and is keen to watch this one with me
BlueBell I've seen every series twice through and was amazed at how much I missed first time round.

I'm sure it will be a scene stealer when Steve does recognise Ryan. Bet it won't be face to face.

I don't know why, but I am not enjoying this series. I am not sure if I'll continue. It's gone on too long.

I have just watched the end of Unforgotten, wow, won't spoil. No comparison for me.

More Spooked than Line of Duty today!
I was just wondering how you are this very morning flowerofthewestx2 as I hadn't seen you posting for ages and here you are!

Welcome back.

Did Steve send Steph out for his magic quick acting pain killers so he could put a listening device in her house or phone?
I hope he doesn’t develop an intimate (sexual) relationship with her. He does have a track record doesn’t he, for forming inappropriate liaisons.

Line of Duty is class, not often so many people are enjoying a long series

* Atqui* thanks but no I think life’s too short to go back over 30 hoursof 5 previous series I ll let it go to all the admirers
I ve got lots of dramas and crime series without busting my brain on this one I must have dipped into to something because I recognise the three main characters I probably did the same with a past series ? Dipped in and popped out

I’ve learned today that Jed Mercurio comes from a town near to me. There is a Pear Tree Estate in my town. We are claiming his inspiration.

Bluebelle ( if you are still,reading this- I know what you mean about LOD being time consuming! It’s not just the programme but reading forums about who’s who and various theories, if you haven’t watched every series.However it’s very entertaining.

Really enjoyed it, one of the few programmes that needs total attention, my daughter started messaging me half way in, I had to pause TV much to DH’s annoyance!
