He is fab. Love the entire programme.

StoorieHoose · 28/02/2019 19:08

Love me some Hastings ("like the battle"). I am really looking forwD to the new series but didn't enjoy the end of the last one trying to insinuate that Ted was involved in all corruption

MrsBudd · 28/02/2019 19:10

Yes!!! Love Ted!

itbemay1 · 28/02/2019 19:17

Oooo I love him too!

stupidmestupidme · 28/02/2019 19:23

Adore Ted - wish he was my boss!!!
Can't WAIT for LoD to start again - I'm also in love with Steve ♥️😘

Bittermints · 28/02/2019 19:29

April - that's not long! Woohoo! Line of Duty and Game of Thrones. I may explode with excitement.

Me, me, me!!

I ❤️❤️❤️ LoD.

I have found my people! “There’s only one thing I’m interested in, son....”

CluedoAddict · 28/02/2019 20:14

I can't wait for the new series. Ted is a lovely fella.

BartonHollow · 28/02/2019 20:15

Signing in but I want Steve and Kate to happen!

WithLotsOfSprinkles0 · 28/02/2019 20:17

I LOVE him, he's one liners are brill.

"If I find out you've let the cat out of the bag, the whole world and his wife will know about it "

3kidsareenough · 28/02/2019 20:28

Federation rep or not you will address me as sir - go Ted you tell em 🥰🥰

HoobaHooba · 28/02/2019 20:41

Ted Hastings is worth a follow on Twitter. Love him!

BartonHollow · 28/02/2019 20:44

The one thing I don't get is the thing about being entitled to be interviewed by someone of the same rank or above

If this is the case at all times then why do they even try it on 😂

Violetroselily · 28/02/2019 20:44

"It's a bit like grandmas night gown - it covers everything"

Violetroselily · 28/02/2019 20:46

@bartonhollow that phrase is iconic. But I think they try it on because the person may still answer the questions even if asked by the "wrong" person - IIRC Denton was happy to answer questions from Steve during one of her interviews even though her rep challenged it

sheldonstwin · 28/02/2019 20:55

Love Ted! Love that bar scene with steve when he said he couldn't go for a drink with female officers - it would look like he was out with pan's people! Loved Steve's puzzled/bemused face at that moment :) Bonus points for catching the reference.

rockingthelook · 28/02/2019 21:18

Brilliant, Ted just makes the world a better place, Ted would sort out this Brexit shit show in no time, Ted for PM ' Now Juncker, Wee Fella, for the love of God!'

TheFrogsLegs · 28/02/2019 21:22

Oh yes, Ted for Brexit secretary, sort out the backstop, sort it all.

Nononononono33 · 28/02/2019 21:25

@rockingthelook I think your post is my favourite I’ve ever seen on mumsnet!

Nononononono33 · 28/02/2019 21:25

Sorry, terrible grammar, but you get my point...

SuburbanCrofter · 28/02/2019 21:50

I'm always up for a bit of Ted, fella.

MsRinky · 28/02/2019 23:04

I had the Rage when they were trying to imply that our Ted might be bent. Catch yourselves on!
