LINE OF DUTY - thread 3 - NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Thought better do new thread. Hope haven’t jumped on anyone’s toes

Series 3 remains my fave. Dot was amazing - felt so conflicted about his character, the way he falls apart when he sees the list in the envelope, tearful and outside bookies later etc (I’m assuming by the summary at the end of s3 it’s confirmed that Dot was also an abuse victim?)

I have never felt so sickened as watching Fairbank’s interviews. The way he is all jokey and pally and slimy.

I really hope that the list is revisited (can’t remember s5, will watch it tomorrow!) - I had assumed that the aforementioned summary saying “Fairbank and others” they meant others on the list but then in s4 Hastings said they haven’t had any luck with the other names - why not? If they’re vaguely famous/important people it shouldn’t be too hard to find something or would they not be allowed to do some kind of publicised appeal because it’s AC?

@YoutubeZoom

I am sure Lindsay Denton was also attacked in prison even by the prison officers. Didn't they pour hot water on her hand?

Yes and pretty sure it was the same prison guard?

It’s a shame isn’t it nightdress I always try and find out piano music on tv.

I decided to name change too. Went for a nostalgic one. :o

@AwkwardArnottDentonFumble
So far I've found out that series music is by Carly Paradis and one reference to piano music in the style of Ludovico Einaudi. Can't stop to look any further than that right now as I won't be ready for later. HTH.

@ceeveebee - yes I thought it was the same guard too.

It was the same guard. There were 2 of them complicit in the Lindsay attack. Poor Lindsay

@SingToTheSky totally. Dot was brilliant in that series. I hated him so much for killing Lindsay and for framing Steve but he was a wee soul. You just knew he’d been groomed for so long, never had a life of any sorts outside the OCG. Broke my heart when he said ‘so that’s why you never slept with me,’ and Kate said ‘that doesn’t mean I didn’t want to.’ It really seemed like he genuinely cared about her but knew it couldn’t ever work.

I am beside myself already. (And am whatashower in my former life if any other tribute usernames are also hiding regulars)

Seriously feeling a bit tense about the thought of anything happening to Ted. Whatever happens with the Steph/50k business it better not result in him getting killed or sacked because I love him too much.

I'm not in UK and don't normally stay up to watch but tonight I can't not, so excited for this episode but tense also.

I really don’t think any of the main three could be bent. In some ways, yes, big twist but to me it would be as bad a twist as “it was all a dream” :o I will be cross, fella.

I think Nige will turn up tonight

The tension is building here...not sure I can cope! (I have also dusted off my LoD username!)

I’m showered and ready! 😂

@GoofyIsACow

I’m showered and ready! 😂

And sporting a new name!

Loving all the names!

Will we need a new thread for tonight?

whatever ever else happens I predict a mad scramble to set up a new thread

Reporting ready for duty Ma’am.

I don’t want Nige back TBH I sort of feel that storyline has run its course. Plus I’m still miffed about the fake disability plot.

I wish it were easier to post gifs like photos on here. Many Hastingsisms on FB but my friends don’t appreciate LOD (I did send one to mum though as she’s a recent LOD convert!)

Yeah, I've nc for this thread twirls

Started Thread 4, just in case this one fills up part way through

Cheers boss. Have opened it in another tab to jump over.

I have a bad feeling it will be tricky for me to watch live tonight - 3yo’s sleep has been so messed up as she’s had a bug. If I can’t watch live I will

1. Cry
2. Avoid the Internet altogether until I can watch it

I was meant to be at a Biffy Clyro gig tonight, but it was moved to Oct due to Covid. Thank the Lord! 🤣😂

Nine minutes to go 😁
