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.

In future we will definately be able to spot LoD fans. 😉

My theory for why Steph was outside - maybe it was a scene the shot later as a ‘pick up’ and they couldn’t film inside for some reason (covid, availability of the actual home owner, continuity) so filmed outside the house instead. I think that scene was needed to close off the Steph storyline (with Steve basically going cold on her) as the main purpose of her being in this series was to reveal Ted’s involvement in the £50k. My guess is we won’t see her again.

This was exactly my thought too! I was wondering if I lacked the right investigative mindset so glad someone else thought the same. The Covid-safe interview of Fairbank did look rather odd - and I’m now noticing more socially distanced stuff that hadn’t hit me before.

@ElizabethTudor

Oh look, they’ve done Kate now, brilliant!! 😂

There are some very talented knitters about!

My other thought after seeing S5E5 last night.

The computer messages. At first, Corbett and McQueen were using audio and H was messaging back. When Corbett died, McQueen changed to messaging to disguise that Corbett wasn’t there talking. This was picked up by the trio.

Jo is only messaging, not using audio. Has she taken over from someone? Does H know he’s talking to Jo, or does he think he’s talking to someone else?

I haven't caught up with the thread so apologies if this has been said already. I've just seen this on yahoo news:

While the show didn’t definitively reveal how Hunter and Davidson are related, eagle-eyed viewers spotted a post-it note, next to a picture of Hunter that reveals details that are yet to be explicitly stated in the show.

It reads: “Jo Davidson’s DNA has been identified at Farida Jatri’s house. A match has been made to TOMMY HUNTER, stating she is both his niece and daughter.”

Late to the party as usual. I see it's all over the Mail, Hello, Independent ....

I thought you meant this thread for a minute. Need more coffee.

I can't knit, but can crochet. The LoD characters would be great as amigurumi.

Interesting! I think because the messaging service said to get rid of Kate and then we see Jo trying to do that, they probably do know it’s her but who knows!

Good point. Might explain the DOB discrepancy.

But then Ryan seemed to be instructed to ensure that Jo did get rid of Kate, so whoever gave the instruction must have made sure that the order was passed down the line to other OCG bods. 🤔

Morning mates and thank you gaffer.

I've just floated up the Lagan in a bubble to get here.

MotherOfGodWeeFella, you inspired me to look up LoD T-shirts online and now I have five in my shopping bag, or nearly £90 worth...! I need to just pick one, don't I?

1 for every working day of the week? I think the Beeb have missed an opportunity here as none of the merch seems to be official.

This came up on my timeline and I found it really funny.

Did you get this one @IntermittentParps ?

Definately one of the funniest things I've seen about LoD!

Found you all! Thread 6 was great moving!!

@IntermittentParps - surely you need 5 new t-shirts, summer is coming!

T-shirts are perfect lockdown/pandemic wfh attire. I may get another...

Thread 6 was FAST moving - stupid swype keyboard

@JaneJeffer I love that. Ok to wear to work ??

LaganinaBubble, to be precise, I'm looking at tanks/vests; not really a T-shirt girl, and vests I can wear for yoga/zumba etc. And you're right; I will need plenty of outdoor summer exercise gear!

JaneJeffer, I've got my eye on one with that slogan but a different style. I like yours though; where is it from?

Jo's messaging....
I'm entertained that this is meant to be an uber secret secure anonymous service but she seems to open her laptop and barely has time to type in password 1234 before she's in, and ALLL MESSAGE HISTORY IS RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN!
It takes me longer to access Netflix

@JaneJeffer that would be a good one to wear on Zoom calls - a not very secret message to colleagues!

Just watched the first one of these. Kerry Gilbert, very funny. Short and sweet, and I love her little kids playing the OCG!
