Line of Duty

When is it back? I'm sure I read somewhere that it would be back in April. Does anyone have any theories about the storyline or characters?

The AC12 triumvirate comprising Hastings, Arnott and Fleming will definitely be back.

What about Roz Huntley? and her rather drippy DH ?

Wil Nige feature? and will we find out how and why Maneet was being blackmailed by Hilton?

I can't wait, frankly.

I think it is set in the midlands yeah it is filmed in Belfast though Vicky McClure and Aidrian Dunbar were on Jonathan Ross and were talking about filming near Aidrians families home

Good shout on the H nickname Alec! I love the fact we are all still guessing about who H really is, and will be until the end I suspect!

She might be in the summing up flashback at the start of episode 2, so they have to list her.

It's always been implied AC12 are somewhere in the Midlands.

No surprise Maneet is listed for ep.2 because her body will be found and a murder investigation started.

Ted is hopeful he can get back together with his wife - signing a tenancy for somewhere would mean admitting his marriage is over. I suspect we'll find out she's with someone else and he'll be a mess.

I don't think you survive your jugular being cut unless there's immediate medical attention given (and maybe not even then).

It'll be the summing up she appears in.

I'm very sad (as in pathetic) in that I feel so sorry for Maneet's fictional children! 😱🙈😂

Oh yeah good point! The cast list is nowhere near everyone though. I just really want her to be alive!

I am loving the Harry H Corbett theory

Agree that there's no way that Corbett could have risen to be 'head honcho' of the OCG in a matter of months - it must be years (particularly if he is 'H').

I think we're being deliberately played with all the shots of Hastings looking furtive.

Everybody does the look thatAlyson women looked guilty as sin

I did wonder about Alison, but was she just looking shifty because her UC operation had gone wrong?

It was a bit weird that Kate and Steve were ushered to see her at that place that neither of them had heard of or laid eyes on before.

I also find it odd that the officer who got shot but survived is only in the first few minutes. She was in the entire series of Hidden. I am expecting to see her again.

When Kate grabbed the gun (S3, ep6) and chased the Caddy through the streets, she shot the officer who'd helped him escape. Did he die? He w as a dodgy copper and an AFO, did we hear anymore about him?

When he asked for the screwdriver I did think he might torture her with it,

I thought the same! (I'm not sure whsts worse though!)

is it really bad of me that when i saw Maneet in civie clothes i realised how unflattering the police uniform was??!! 🙈🙈

Maps in the wall at AC12 HQ clearly show Birmingham - Handsworth Wood for instance was visible.

They filmed Series 1 in Birmingham and the rest in Belfast but it is supposed to be set in Birmingham yes

I said to DH in the last series that I think ‘H’ refers to a first name. My friend verity goes by ‘V’ for example and when people send emails they often end it with the first letter of their first name rather than surname.

Kate did specifically ask for first letter of surname though didn’t she?

Oh

I thought there was something dodgy about Hastings for the first 2 or 3 series but now they’re signposting it so heavily I no longer think so - unless it’s a double bluff of course?
In S1 wasn’t Hastings estranged from his wife because of debt problems, possibly gambling? In which case could there be a link to the gambling problems of Maneet’s cousin?

It wasn't gambling. It was the dodgy Spanish property deal.

No, when you look at that scene, Dot just opens his mouth and she holds her phone near to it to record what he says (we don't actually hear what). Aren't we all making an assumption or does something further come out in series 4 (can't remember)?

@drquin lol! I'm so tired but will try and fit in as many of series three in tonight.

We see the scene in detail played back in season 4 NMAM

When they interview the drug tattooed man (can’t remember his name) they said so a van full of H. That made me prick up my ears a bit
