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.

Tanith -the only places I’ve seen with so many locks inside have been a) safe houses for women fleeing domestic abuse or b) drug dealers. I don’t think Jo D is either of those. I do think she’s bent

Sarah Hughes in the Guardian does a great summary and analysis for those who might be a bit confused (including me!)

I find reading it adds to my enjoyment of the series and the comments by other readers are also entertaining!

Just read that Sarah Hughes died ( cancer) the day after this was published. I’d enjoyed reading it and looked forward to more. ?

Yes, very sad to read that Sarah Hughes has just died - so young. Very talented. What a shame.

Suziewoozie Yes, I saw Sarah Hughes had died - I was very surprised as I didn't realise she'd been ill. I loved her TV blogs for some of the good dramas and will really miss her.

Did you see that the Guardian are keeping open the comments under her last article so fans can go on and continue to discuss the rest of the series? Her children are only 13 and 11

That's so sad.

I was just about to post about Sarah Hughes death when I saw there is a post up. I think I may have read her November article about her cancer but didn’t remember the name so didn’t realise she was writer of the tv recap. There is a moving tribute by Kate Abbott, the Guardian tv editor. Sarah had written this week’s recap from her hospital bed and must have died less than 48 hours later. I must post to the Comments - it will be a comfort to her family and friends to know how many appreciated her wit, insight and fine writing.

That’s a nice thought Litter think I’ll join you

Oh no! That is so sad. I really enjoyed her blogs.I think she had a large following. Poor children .

Atqui Sun 11-Apr-21 18:10:54

Just read an article by Lisa Bachelar in the Observer today about her

"Mother of God" who is it in the photo???

Doodledog Sun 11-Apr-21 22:09:45

It was Jo Davison - we couldn't see the other side of the document.

I'm wondering if she is Tommy Hunter's daughter. . .

Littleannie Sun 11-Apr-21 22:09:51

Looked like Kate???

Alegrias1 Sun 11-Apr-21 22:11:48

Who is she related to? ?

Welshwife Sun 11-Apr-21 22:12:50

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

Alegrias1 Sun 11-Apr-21 22:13:04

Who's Tommy Hunter?

eazybee Sun 11-Apr-21 22:13:41

Not another armed ambush?
The body count is turning into Midsomer Murders.

Curlywhirly Sun 11-Apr-21 22:14:56

SPOILER ALERT: Another cracking episode tonight! The mystery DNA (that was related to Jo Davidson's DNA) that was found at Farida's House - who do you think the relative is? It's a male, but that's all that was given away ?

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

Gosh - we missed the fact it was a male

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

I don't remember them saying it was a male

Welshwife

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?

Shandy57 Sun 11-Apr-21 22:20:17

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!

Alegrias1 Sun 11-Apr-21 22:21:13

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!

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

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

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.

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!
