Have just binged S1-4 and am excited to hear it might be back in April.

Jess check out the Urban Dictionary

Squashy, you're right. Ted and Fred it is. Might add Foyle in as well.

I’m rewatching the show for about the tenth time

BoreOfWhabylon · 04/03/2019 03:21

Oh, Noble Ted!

Be still my beating heart.

I am now more worried about Ted turning out to be corrupt than whatever is going to happen on March 29th Sad

longwayoff · 04/03/2019 07:39

Hurrah!!!!!! Don't let us down LOD. Be better - a lot better - than The Bodyguard.

BoreOfWhabylon · 04/03/2019 09:13

Noble Ted is not corrupt, he is NOBLE!

Mind, I would be up for corrupting Noble Ted - reckon he's a bit straitlaced but would be amenable Wink

Bore Grin sounds like you’ve thought this through Wink

I know bibbity - I know whatever will happen will be shit, but I have no faith in any of them anyway. But in Ted I trust.

Yes, it must be better than bodyguard!! Maybe that was Jed’s midlife crisis?

Joining you. Love Ted.

wowfudge · 16/03/2019 23:30

God I love LoD. Anything can happen.

Fleabag123 · 17/03/2019 22:40

Rewatching this at the moment in anticipation of series 5. Can’t wait but please god don’t let Hastings be the ultimate bent copper. Not sure my nerves could take it

wowfudge · 17/03/2019 22:44

I've never yet predicted anything correctly in LoD. Somehow Mercurio makes you think something far less mundane has happened than what actually pans out.

TwitterQueen1 · 17/03/2019 22:47

I think we need a Ted Appreciation Society.

GabrielleNelson · 18/03/2019 07:39

Finished my re-watch yesterday. I adore Ted. Please let him not be H.

FudgeyCookie · 18/03/2019 08:53

About to finish series 2 of our re-watch here. I found LoD through watching googlebox!

Also love Ted.

longwayoff · 18/03/2019 10:05

This IS the Ted Appreciation Society. It's getting closer, trailers running. Anyone who hasn't seen all 4 of them, catch up now, they're all related. Ted, we're waiting for you. Don't let us down.

HeyCarrieAnneWhatsYourGame · 18/03/2019 10:06

Was very excited/maybe a bit aroused when he said “bent coppers” during the Comic Relief clip I saw. Can’t wait to have LoD back!
