And how do they know?!

As a Line of Duty fan, I watched the pre series trailer repeatedly, looking for clues. Only to find out there was an Easter egg hidden in the trailer...

So for weeks I’ve been not only watching the trailer looking —unsuccessfully— for a oval of chocolate wrapped in bright foil and bows, but also wondering what possible relevance chocolate could have to the show Blush

It was only when listening to a podcast earlier this week that I realised what was actually meant by the term Easter egg.

How do people know this stuff? My DD just looked at me like I was crazy when asking her if she knew - apparently everyone knew. Except me BlushGrin

😂 if it’s any consolation, I had heard the term Easter egg only in reaction to Disney movies for years. It was only a few weeks ago I found out it’s not just a Disney thing 🤦‍♀️ (no idea why I thought it was)!

I'd never heard of it until this thread.

Someone please enlighten me!

I did the same when I was told about the easter eggs in the Matrix.

@itsgettingwierd I don’t feel so bad now!

From my limited knowledge, it refers to clues hidden in the trailer, or show etc. So you have to go on a egg hunt to find them. I think that’s right Blush

From Wikipedia- Easter egg is a term used to describe a message, image, or feature hidden in a video game, film, or other, usually electronic, medium. The term used in this manner was coined around 1979 by Steve Wright, the then Director of Software Development in the Atari Consumer Division, to describe a hidden message in the Atari video game Adventure, in reference to an Easter egg hunt.
