Yeah it ended up with AC12 so presume Steve or Ted

It was Ted. It popped up on his phone halfway through the interview with Fairbank. Although quite why he was checking emails in the middle of that was never clear!

But nothing happened after that

Who shot her. Can’t R.E.M.

"NoWordForFluffy

I feel like I need to re-watch all the previous series every week, the way it's going!

And I don't think a spreadsheet would help me. I need it in a pictorial form with lines between the connections."

"Me too. With a PowerPoint, a handout and then some refresher training."

Would it be excessive if I got myself a large perspex screen, some markers, and printed off photos of all the suspects and installed the lot in a room in my house?

Not at all. Do it now and send us the zoom details.

I've often wondered what happened to the list. I assume they used the list to nail Fairbank and Dale Roach but as there were other names and the only person who has a copy is Ted.....

Yes. Do this please!

He was a bad one !!!!

she was quite unhinged when she punched Kate in the stomach and battered her neighbour

Oh, come on!

Which of us wouldn't have wanted to take a bottle to a neighbour like that?

The only thing she did wrong was not using her copper's nous to finish the job and dispose of the unrecogniseable body. The moral of that story was - Always have some black bags handy, and know which of your neighbours is having a patio put in/renovated.

I cried for her in series 3

So did I!

There's a trailer for ep 3 on the BBC Line of Duty instagram page. Ted knows about Steve's addiction!

Ooohhh

Eek!

What's he taking that's on the banned list though? Everything is OTC / prescription. Unless he's also smoking weed?

Maybe it's the levels and the combinations that would flag up?

Yeah, maybe. I've no idea how it works!

Who was our armed police officer on the thread? Perhaps they can help!

Don't pain killers also fuck up the liver and kidneys.

Maybe the bloods would also show deterioration of liver and kidney function ?

And doesn't aspirin thin the blood? Could also show clotting issues if he's taking that as well?

Codeine shows up as an opiate a drug test but the results don't differentiate whether it's heroin, morphine, codeine or codeine combined pain killers & as far as I'm aware if you eat lots of poppy seed bread/baguettes that shows up as trace amounts of opiates too (even though it doesn't get you high)
So as Steve's been taking various combinations of painkillers with codeine in then his drugs test will come back positive.
And unless its officially known that he's taking legitimately taking prescribed medication or that takes Solpadeine or whatever (under medical advice) then Steve will be investigated & most likely suspended.
Though in the case of eating poppy seed baguettes for lunch most days & the odd Solpadeine Migrane every so often for migraines I not sure how that gets recorded?

I have only seen series 4 and 6 (so far)

So watched from beginning on series two it’s so so good

So people pop up again no wonder I didn’t get what was going on

Maybe Steve is receiving prescribed codeine as well as the extra he's buying? So will have an excuse for the blood test.

Would the test show up the level or just the presence of it?

Would they have to interview officers anyway even if they have a record of them being on prescribed codeine? Otherwise you could get officers on heroin being masked by a codeine prescription! (Unlikely, but still...)

Do you think Steve knows that Ted knows? After the initial shock reaction, he seemed quite calm when dismissed by Ted.. Maybe he's just too far down the hole to feel any shame or embarrassment - same when he let Steph look in his car.

His prescription had an ibuprofen + codeine medication on it. Had benzodiazepines as well.

So he’ll be covered for the drug tests, but no doubt it’ll come into play somehow
