Hope no one minds me starting a new thread as 4 was filled on one episode.

Ted has been the police so long that they won't necessarily have his DNA on file from him joining. He was arrested and interviewed last series so his DNA may be on the nominal database from then.

@toffeebutterpopcorn

The photo looked very much like a woman (yes we sis keep rewinding and freeze framing it). Her mum? Ties in with the photo she threw her glass at (she must still be picking splinters of glass out of her feet). Maybe.
The photo in the find that Steve passed to Ted? That was Jo’s police record headshot, the photo of the identified partial match wasn’t shown.

@Judashascomeintosomemoney

But what about ACs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 & 11? Are there any numbered higher than 12? Nah, they go up in threes. AC-3, AC-9 and obvs AC-12 no problem. No one knows what the Jeff AC-6 do yet though. Maybe they’re in charge of police convoys. In which case they’ve probably already been disbanded with their LOD track record.
I proper LOL-ed at this. Grin

Love the idea that AC-6 are so shit that nobody ever even acknowledges them. I bet at the AC Christmas party they just sit on a table on their own, and no one lets them join the conga.

Mother of god, BBC iplayer put these on their Instagram page earlier (don’t worry, they’re not spoilers, just brilliant!)

Well hello Roz - I spoke to a colleague the other day who said, "it's on in the background but I don't watch it". What a weirdo.

Bent coppers who have been nicked go on the criminal database, when they are swabbed and fingerprinted I believe.

RozHuntleysLeftHand · 14/04/2021 20:04

Yeah that's pretty much the attitude of everyone I know...but fuck em, I love it!

I take myself off to bed and watch with a glass of wine while DP watches shite like Car SOS!

Yeas, so if they’d ran speculative testing in 1999, they’d have known she was related to: Perfectly Legit Copper. But as they didn’t, they’ve only just run it now and discovered she’s related to: Totally Bent Copper, who is now on the nominal database.

I was watching the sweetest BBC documentary today called 'Sweet Success' after Martin C had his big break with Ken Loach. he was adorable in it and says all this stuff about how he might become a big star (think he imagines films to be fair) and how scared he is if it all doesn't work out (he gave up football for acting). Worth watching if you are an MC fan (and you can hear his real voice!)

Bent Coppers, crossing the line of duty. Factual.

I am so excited that the nest is finally back on iPlayer - I only managed the first few episodes when it was new and then it disappeared. It was the first time I heard Compston’s real accent. I was, as the young folk seem to say these days, shook. 😁

Pomegranatespompom · 14/04/2021 20:52

Real life Steve says we will all need therapy after Sunday.

The ambush was too tense for me and DH is refusing to watch as he does't enjoy the programme - weirdo.

I know. Alexa is really funny. You can ask who Jo Davidson is related to as a follow up question.

Apparently she'll reply to "Is Ted Hastings H ?" too

NobbySignaler · 14/04/2021 22:12

@TedisnotH

Bent coppers who have been nicked go on the criminal database, when they are swabbed and fingerprinted I believe.
So does that mean if the relative is bent copper with a criminal record, they would have been taken off the police staff database that rules them out during forensic testing. Do they not keep DNA on the police database incase they re-examine old evidence, even if they are no longer serving? That's what I'm stuck on, as they only appeared as a nominal.

Asked Siri and this was her crappy reply
