Line of Duty - Series 6

Spoiler Alert
Ryan Pilkington

He had a particularly gruesome part to play during series five episode four: he was the person who slit John Corbett’s throat after the undercover cop fell into the trap set by the other members of the OCG.

I didn't realise he was in Series 1 as the boy on the bike delivering burner phones

Much better episode than last week

Thanks callistemon. Judging from shift looks You must be right. Is he called Ryan?

I doubt he has turned good

He is a new link to an OCG.

Is the young PC who drives Macdonald the bad boy from previous series who is supposed to have turned good?

I’ve not read most of the comments. Like some others I’ve decided to wait until all the episodes of the current series are available so I can binge watch. I’ve found that binge watching is far more satisfactory than waiting for a week for the next instalment. I shall now avoid this thread to avoid any spoilers. ?

Brilliant episode, Line of Duty at it's best.

Thanks Tanith, the bbc sounds podcast is really good.

Agree. Sarah Milligan last week 10/10. Do they have a different guest every week? Hope they’re all as good as her

Ooh! temper temper !

Someone's not very happy are they ?

Wow, cracking episode tonight! On the edge of my seat and actually shouted at the tv

13 minutes and counting ......

I have re-watched all the series up to the one with Thandie Newton, which was quite good but a bit silly. I preferred the earlier series. The last series with Stephen Graham I didn't really enjoy much.

This one seems to be shaping up OK but, as The I said yesterday, it does seem to be even more formulaic than previous series.

Doodle dog I do the same with LoD as it takes complete concentration and I watching the recording at my own pace. Jed Mercurio is brilliant.

Thank you, Chestnut and Suziewoozie

Enjoyed the first episode but might save of the later ones to watch together. I can never keep all the ins and outs in my head.

I enjoyed the first couple of seasons. The third one wasn't as good in my opinion. I really reached the stage of not caring who H was.

I think I might wait until all the episodes are available and have a binge. Can't cope with this waiting a week for each episode. My memory being what it is I totally forget what on earth has happened.

Is it just a PC word for a grass?

I thought they used to call them "informers", but grass probably does just as well

I've never watched it

Jed Mercurio is indeed talented. Lod has also had a strong cast, throughout

Just love lod. We once binge watched on all the previous series to the point that it felt ac12 had moved in with us! Sad! Ted is looking a tad tired perhaps after all that walking in Ireland. Jed mercurio is a talented writer.

That should say Gilou. Blinkin predictive text

I watched all of Spiral during this long lock down. I loved it, the scenes of Paris, the way their colonial past had come back to haunt them, the casual dress in CID, those flics running out to catch bad guys whilst pushing their guns in the back of their jeans. The way Gilroy/anyone would suddenly slap a suspect. Oh yes, all that shameless smoking. The way the French are casually unconcerned about use of language.

It was part Life on Mars, part the Sweeney - highly recommend ???

I have never watched these series. (Don't know why) Is it too late for me to pick up? Not sure I can be bothered with iplayer.

You need to start with Series 1 Episode 1 because there is a plot which winds throughout and it is very complex. Each series has a different story but they are all connected. And the earlier series are so good! We don't know yet whether this one is.

I’d say no
