Line Of Duty Series 4. We Arnott Amused!

[FeralBeryl]

New thread as we're getting close to full.

Thanks Beans. Are calls being diverted/intercepted?

Wips & Bottom - me too - I kept thinking they'd noticed her arm during the interview & was desperate for one of them to say/Kate to write a message...that or for her arm to explode with pus spouting out of it!!

Am also at Maneet and hoping all becomes clear next week.

Weirdly feel even more desperate for the next episode this week without a huge edge of seat "WTF" moment than weeks there have been!

At least there's Broadchurch tomorrow night!

wowfudge they're not the same - napkin number is 07706 and the print out number is 07700.

Jimmy Lakewell's number is 07700 900784, evidence from last week. I must go back and see if that's the same as the number Hilton is writing, except for the 07706 at the beginning.

I thought it was 'jimmy' s number too,but then thought that didnt make sense as it turns out there actually was a legit solicitor Jimmy.....im so confused.

Do we actually know the name of the solicitor Nick Huntley brought in to his interview? I think I assumed he was Jimmy Lakewell, but we don't know it was.

Yes, but then he uses the number Jimmy Lakewell' as a cover I'm thinking. Like, if you were having an affair, you'd save your other man's number as the name of a mate...

So, he was phoning Hilton... lo, balaclava man turns up.

That's why it's so significant Steve didn't pull the mask off: he would have recognised him!!

It's all going to be about the phone numbers!!

All those similar numbers. What a coincidence!

Ah-ha. It is the same, except for the 6/0 - he is writing a 4 at the very end although you don't see him complete it.

He's listed on IMDb as 'Jimmy', but no surname.

I didn't realise that JM also wrote Bodies, until I was looking that fact up. I LOVED Bodies!

I wouldn't read too much about Hana's all looking the same. That's like on US TV where they're all 555-XXXX

And check shoe size of every male suspect.

Lol theelephant ofsurprise,true yes the husband probably is a balaclava man,but there was a second or 2 where I thought a balaclava wearing man would jump out of the shadows to chop Roz in half . LOD has me conditioned to expect crazy cliffhangers!

Why is that one digit different though... grrr....

Or. Maybe it's time to throw Hastings under the bus. Arnott looked uncomfortable in the bar 'you got the promotion' conversation. DH reckons he knew Arnott was alive cos of move to BBC1 so got to be good for 3 series (i.e. Three on BBC 1).

I suspect just as we heave a sigh of relief about Ted being solid at end of last series, this one pulls the rug. He's sexist, he's in the masons, he's while, male, middle aged, so unfashionable.
Arnott will be heading up AC 12 at start of next series I reckon.

Possibly with a limp.

Nowordforfluffy, DH reckons IMDb relies on production company for info and they're wise to putting info on there that will be spoilers. E.g. Arnott's episode count would not tell you if he lived or died this time last week.

It's a stitch-up!

Nick refers to his solicitor as "Jimmy" when they arrive for questioning - he thanks him for bringing him a change of clothes. There is a very odd exchange of glances between the two men and Maneet as they walk past her, though. It's at about 6 minutes in. Seems to be between her and Jimmy.

07706 900784 is the number Hilton wrote for Ros.
07700 900784 is** 'Jimmy Lakewell'.

(Unless the Hilton actor wrote a '6' by accident instead of a '0' whilst filming!!)

Copper I do wonder if it's a continuity error, I bloody hope not! If so, I shall insist MNers have to watch the next series in advance of broadcast to make sure we catch all these details.

Is there anything in the whole 'Jamie'/Jimmy thing I wonder?

He's just 'Jimmy' on the programme credits too. Arghhh.

The Guardian blog has also looked at these phone numbers as has Twitter. Everyone is bemused.

In this day and age it would be embarrassing if it WAS a continuity error...

We all need jobs at AC-12. We are more observant than they are!

Nick is going to find that napkin at some point and think it's Jimmy's number?

I'll proper lol if it's a continuity error! 😂

That's a good theory ILikeBeans - there must be a reason they're so similar.
