I saw a trailer for this the other evening but DC were running around and being loud so I missed most of it. Does anyone know when it’s starting please? I don’t want to miss it as it’s brilliant!

So much to think about, Matilda!

I'm assuming that we have now met all the key players. Whatever happened to Matthew Walsh involved the people in the first five episodes - at least one, probably more. Then there were thirty years of covering up. Some of these people would have been involved with that - maybe even people who weren't involved in the original incident. One or more of them may have witnessed or discovered the original event and used it to blackmail the presumed perpetrator(s).

We have the Fab Four plus their deceased friend.

We also have Eileen, Liz's mother. (Plus Eugenia. Plus Liz's fiancée.)
Chris Walsh, the victim's brother. (Plus the victim's son.)
Ram's wife,
Ram's brother (and parents).
Dean's wife.
Dean's brother (and mother).
Fiona's partner (and BIL).
The Hendon police trainer.
The pub landlady.
The storage facility man. (A stretch ...)

Was there anyone else?

If Cassie and Sunny didn't give Dean's address I suspect his brother managed to find it out. And as someone else suggested, I suspect the brother was the person who obliged Dean to do one more run to Calais. (I've just thought of Chris Walsh - but he didn't look as if he was profiting from drug money.) Who said it was drugs, anyway?

Really looking forward to some surprises - unexpected relationships, coincidences, misunderstandings ...

I was just going to say, possibly Dean’s brother disclosed his address to their Mum.
If he’s shady, he could possibly have been keeping tabs on Dean from afar. Then the Mum could’ve said to brother when Cassie and Sunny left, that she’d asked for Dean’s address - given she hasn’t got long left - but they’d refused. And brother gave it her.
Did Dean give his Secretary the Mother’s Day card? Because if so, have his brothers been intercepting them, because his Mum obviously didn’t get it as she said she didn’t know if he was alive etc.....

BruceAndNosh · 24/03/2021 17:44

I'm currently rewatching, and have done Eps 1 and 2 so far.
SOOOO much that went over my head on first viewing! Like the unnatural profusion of fountain pens...
And the dodgy 4 all look so relaxed and young in the first episode!

SingToTheSky · 24/03/2021 18:18

TBF Cassie shouldn’t have even told the mum how Dean was married with kids let alone anything else, I’d have thought?

I don’t blame her for being absolutely distraught about having to do the last three months. It’s nothing in a regular job but it would feel like forever if you’re stressed to the point she was by the series 3 case.

MatildaMainly · 24/03/2021 18:33

Oh yes, he gave her something to post and the implication seemed to be that it was the card. I'd forgotten that.

It's true, we all miss such a lot first time around. I'm going to have to try and find the discovery and forensics about the head and hands if there was an attempt at explaining that.

ImAncient · 24/03/2021 18:42

OysterMonkey good spotting about the card. She’d no idea he was still alive. Also if he wanted to escape from the family so much, why is he sending cards? So many questions. I quite like having time to think about it but I want to see the final one now!

Chicchicchicchiclana · 24/03/2021 19:15

@PintPot

I really don't believe Cassie would give Dean's details out , esp after she explicitly told Mrs Quinn she couldn't disclose them - it was so specific I feel it has to be a clue in itself. But how else would Dean's mum find out where he lived? Maybe she (or the brother) called in an old favour from someone else still in the police force - Ram or Liz?
Aha! good point.
Chicchicchicchiclana · 24/03/2021 19:20

Yes, I don't understand why the small freezer (with the head and hands) was unplugged inside the storage unit. There was an extension lead in there which suggests it was plugged in at some point so who unplugged it and why? Or perhaps there isn't electrical hookup inside storage units, I don't know. But if so why the extension cable?

Five more days to wait ...

I genuinely cannot be sure which TV thread I'm on right now. Thank God they won't be running in tandem after next week!

diddl · 24/03/2021 20:19

Dean's mum might have lied about not knowing if he was still alive.

I was really pissed off to see her at Dean's.

And the twatty brother playing the big I am in his Mum's house!

(I've just thought of Chris Walsh - but he didn't look as if he was profiting from drug money.) Who said it was drugs, anyway?

"Felix" was mentioned in relation to the drugs run that Dean did, but the brother who interrupted the police interview with his mum was called something else (possibly sean)...but there was at least one other brother, (potentially Felix) and I think one brother had died.
I thought Matthew Walshes brother was Clive?

eatsleepread · 24/03/2021 20:47

I can't work out if the actor playing Dean 'does' gormless really well, or if he's just a really wooden actor Grin
He reminds me a bit of David Brent from the Office.

I really don't like Cassie's dad (in spite of the dementia).

eatsleepread · 24/03/2021 20:48

And is Cassie's partner a recent one? They're just so awkward together, but that's could be Covid I guess.

I thought the same 😂🤯

I havent started watching this series of LoD yet. DD was recommended to watch it by a school teacher (I'm not convinced - it's much more gory and complicated than unforgotten) so we're going to binge watch the first 5 series over the Easter holidays (I've seen them before but will be good to refresh) so will just get confused by one programme instead of 2!Grin

'Tis Covid. Last season they were hot hot hot together.

I knew I'd got the Walsh brother's name wrong! Didn't have the energy to check. Thanks, fizbosshoes.

PursuingProxemicExactitude · 24/03/2021 21:37

Does everyone except me have the odd human body part in their freezer?

(Pescatarian ...)

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/03/2021 22:41

@PursuingProxemicExactitude not a human body part but did have a dead hamster in my freezer

Does that count

Ugh sorry... the copper who pulled the Fab 5 over on the night in question.
I've now watched each episode twice but you are all waaaaay more observant than me! I feel a third go coming on.

PursuingProxemicExactitude · 24/03/2021 23:17

Ah yes, him! Well spotted.

Iamtooknackeredtorun · 24/03/2021 23:19

They made a big show at the beginning of Dean using a fountain pen to write the card. I think the murder one will be his.

Rizzoli123 · 24/03/2021 23:32

Does anyone think cassje is still alive. The episode synopsis says

after tragic events the team oull together 😢
