To be a little bit in love with Ted Hastings?

[MintyCedric]

Disclaimer: I'm currently catching up and halfway through Series 4, and aware that he may have become shadier in recent times (but don't know the details so no spoilers please!)

I think the fact he's Irish and has a huge line in sarky comebacks definitely helps.

Mother of god! I find Vicky Mc’s acting so wooden!

Really?! I think she's amazing.

Also, fun fact. Vicky McClure (Kate,) and Stephen Graham (from season 5 of Line of Duty,) worked together in This Is England back in the noughties.

Agree with Steve looking like a magician in his waistcoats. Although he was an abject scoundrel, I did think Dot was rather dishy.

Ted makes me think of Postman Pat. It drives me bonkers. I think it's the strong nose.

@littlepattilou maybe it’s just this latest series!

I was thinking more like a snooker player, or a football manager.

Love Ted but he is sexist "running around with pan's people" and I suspect a bit sexually repressed...

Yes he's absolutely sexist and my inner feminist screams at me for liking him, but I was exactly the same with Gene Hunt.

Some of these replies are hilarious. Mother of God!

In what way?

I don't watch LoD, and for some reason the only Ted that sprang to mind was this one.

I was rather worried for your critical faculties for a moment there.

Hastings like the battle

He can bend me over the Top of the Pops stage any time.

I had to google Gene Hunt. Oooooh, he's all right isn't he?

@littlepattilou - just so witty & with such great affection for the series. This thread has brightened up a dull afternoon 😂

He's lovely!

Kate is my fave.

I fancy Hastings to be my father figure.

And I shagged someone identical to steve in my teen years so he remains 16 in my head 😁

Well help I’m just rewatched the video introducing John Bishop as the new companion in Dr who I don’t care about his comedy but by god he’s Eric Roberts minus 10 years, my still my heart I can’t I cope with this me puff of 💨 goes for a lie down.

Oh cool I thought you meant like hilarious as in stupid ridiculous women!!!

I think I’m boring my friends with my Ted talks

They only wish to talk about who is H

@OhWhyNot . .Everything is referred to as "wee " in most places.! In shops " Do you want a wee bag for that, a wee receipt , a wee cup of tea .
And parking wardens in uniforms will give you the authority you crave .
@littlepattilou Seen Stephen Graham in The Virtues and lots of things. Like his accent too.

Stephen has been in LOADS He s amazing. Also love his accent.

@MintyCedric

Steve is cute and has a fine line in waistcoats but he's about 4ft tall!

Yes, but he's not approaching his sixties!

I’m absolutely in love with Ted too! He’s definitely (definately) hotter than Steve!! Great hair.

I found Steve’s accent so weird and his delivery a bit stilted when I watched the first two seasons. Until then I had no idea he was Scottish AF.

There's a lot of hot 50 somethings out there.
