Line of Duty thread 7: do bent coppers get their comeuppance? This is a spoiler free zone fella!

[MotherOfGodWeeFella]

Thread prepped and ready to go Boss.

O.m.g. Cannae wait!!!! My kids better be sleeping by 9pm

@TrunshonAndHelmet

I’m so nervous I feel sick!

Steady there, fella.

I've just been threatening the DC with dire consequences if they disturb me between 9 and 10.

But as none of today's LFT tests have yet happened, I think I need to be more menacing.

@TwoDrifters2 same pack of biscuits

This evening is going soooooo slooooooowly!

I've had a productive two hours weeding the garden - took my mind off the interminable wait.

Stamps feet !!

Fwiw kate did the double bang bang as trained to shoot like that

Ryan didn’t shoot as knew under survielence

She may be injured but not dead

Ryan won’t be dead nor will jo as we need to see both interegted in the clear box roo

@TracyBeakerSoYeah

Is everyone primed & ready with their LOD bingo card (posted earlier in the week)

I'm sorry but this isn't quite correct, we all know it's a 'Bernard' phone

@AwkwardArnottDentonFumble

I walked past someone in the park today who looked exactly like Tommy Hunter. Maybe that’s a sign 🤔

I’m absolutely shattered today - bit worried I won’t manage to stay awake to watch it “live” 😭

Right, off you bob now for a VERY cold shower and get yourself a double espresso....I'm sure we can set up a MN rota for one of us to pinch you every five minutes if needed...failing that I watched last week's twice!

Did loads of gardening, went for very lo g walk with DH and DD, about to eat Dinner.
Have bingo card, and wine ready.

Will we need a new thread, during LoD, do we think?

I've just had my Covid jab. Side effects best stay at bay long enough for me to watch LOD. Bet I end up having weird OCG fever dreams though.

How soon is it on iPlayer

10.01?

I can watch while reflux bubs bless him is over my shoulder being held for an hour

I think you can watch live on iplayer and pause it?

Oooh I'm so excited! I've got wine, a thumping heart and, once again, inexplicable fanny gallops 😯

That’s what we do, in case we get interrupted, need the loo, ceiling falls in, etc

Doh! Meant to quote comment about watching live on iPlayer and pausing it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Plus, if you watch on iPlayer you can start watching from the start after it’s already started on BBC 1 - we usually don’t get sorted till around 9:15, so we use the ‘watch from start’ option, then pause if needed.

I'm assuming those fanny gallops are for Steve's waistcoat but do feel free to correct me

Entirely tangential, but did you know there was actually a ‘Fanny Gallop’?

I'm so convinced Kate survived the showdown. Totally not prepared for any other outcome.

What the feck are we going to do in two Sunday's time at 9.00?
Poor old @lolacola77 will have to rewatch it all to get her Sunday night fanny gallops

@TheLODstinkyunderpassAKATits

You can, it's how I watch. But you're a minute or two behind the live broadcast, so don't follow the thread whilst it's on. Lest all your good work in avoiding spoilers will be in vain

I've just watched last weeks episode again to try and get up to speed. When Steve goes to see Lee Banks in prison and Banks says the bit about 'ask your boss' about being told that John Corbett was a rat. In reply Steve says 'Supt Hastings?'. Banks doesn't actually say yes or no to that, just carries on talking. I've assumed all week that he did mean Hastings but now I'm thinking (hoping) that by boss he meant someone else i.e. Osborne and that line was just a red herring.

I know Osborne has been suggested before, I'm just trying to get my head around it and desperately hoping that Ted isn't bent.

I just know that Sunday will never be the same again.. blub...

I'm choosing to believe the rumours that there will be another series.
