It has been confirmed that the first episode of The Capture (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/the-capture-season-3-trailer-newsupdate/) season 3 will launch on BBC iPlayer at 6am on Sunday 8 March, before airing on BBC One at 9pm that evening.

Rather than all the episodes being made available at once on iPlayer, each new instalment will then arrive weekly on Sundays - meaning the finale is expected to air on Sunday 12 April.

The weekly anticipation like Line of duty and Happy Valley was

Blondes does happy dance as means hopefully be no spoilers - wouldn’t that be nice for once !! 😀😀😀😀

Holliday Grainger returns as Rachel Carey in the third season of BBC thriller The Capture (https://www.playpilot.com/show/the-capture-2019), with Rachel now dealing with a "brutal" act of terror and a high-stakes geopolitical crisis.

As seen in an adrenaline-filled extended trailer (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a70218127/the-capture-season-3-trailer/), season 3 sees Rachel at the helm of the Counter Terrorism Command as Acting Commander.

other stars joining Carey for round three of The Capture (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a69948383/the-capture-season-3-first-look/), including Game of Thrones' Indira Varma as Khadija Khan and Paapa Essiedu as MP Isaac Turner.

Season 3 also stars Tessa Wong as DC Chloe Tan, Lia Williams as Gemma Garland, Ginny Holder as DI Nadia Latif, Nigel Lindsay as DCI Tom Kendricks, Daisy Waterstone as Abigail.

Rounding out the cast for this season are Hugh Quarshie as Commissioner Cameron Yates, plus Broadchurch's Andrew Buchan, Game of Thrones' Joe Dempsie, Kaos star Killian Scott, and Good Omens' Jonathan Aris.

As Isaac suggests hiring Rachel as Commander of CTD is the best way for the department to "clean up its act", she's confident that the newly rolled-out Operation Veritas, a surveillance system aimed to detect deepfakes in real time, will restore public trust in the institutions.

After a shooting takes place in central London, Rachel realises she's the only one who's seen the attacker. When footage of the incident is released, she is stunned when she doesn't recognise the man, realising the video has been altered with Correction, the covert manipulation programme uncovered in previous seasons.

But the shooting derails the plan, with Rachel desperate to find out the truth and who's behind the attack.

Yes him. The boss /commissioner

if I knew his name I would have said. Hence I said Rick from holby

You need to watch 3rd time then 😂

in the first ten mins when Danny and Gemma re talking and she said about tricking frank making him think he had cancer

they hacked his medical files/consultant letters or something similar

Ah ok
yeah totally missed that.
one more to go?

2 I think. Think it’s 6

E4 recap

https://reelmockery.com/the-capture-series-3-episode-4-recap/amp/

It's got a bit too James Bond for me, killing six people when he'd been tortured with the electric prod, the weird heart monitor thing that he restarted with his phone last week. It's too far out now.

Was surprised to see though that the Army man in charge looked like Linus Roach, I couldn't see the character reel at the end it was too fast, but it definitely looked like him to me. Last saw him in Law and Order.

I’ve no idea what’s going on , but I also see actors and think of them as some other character from something else as well. I then have to look them up and waste time on that! (Holliday Grainger plays Robin in the Strike tv show , so I see her as Robin too )
I’m also not sure if the Pierson man is a goodie or a baddie. He was quick to kill everyone last week and this week he is saving Carey’s life. All very odd.

It was Linus Roach.

As soon as George told Rachel in the car about the super elite super secret soldiers group, I knew he wasn't long for this world . But how convenient all round that he was able to give that huge update on the plot/broader picture in his total of two lines!

All the gunmen at the office on Albert Embankment that she went to (off on her own again, no planning, no back up ) are looking to kill Noah, not Rachel. His commanders - Linus Roache et al - consider him to have gone rogue and they don't trust him any more so they want him dead.

It's interesting from their phone conversation that the army Colonel appears to have seniority over the Police Commissioner.

I think it will become relevant that Tom didn't call off all three forms of surveillance on Gemma Garland.

Ok. I enjoyed the episode more than recent ones as I liked that we had the new military characters (and I love Linus Roache). I do think it's getting hammer every episode though! Deffo some pantomime villanry happening, even amongst those who aren't really meant to be pantomiming.

I'm a.zillion percent sure that Gemma and Danny (who I LOATHE) would have known that Tom/the Ops room could hear their conversation through the classical music.

Poor George.

DC Tan has twigged that James Whitlock is being set up, I think.

Noah and Rachel are going to form an unholy alliance that definitely won't be leveraged for sexual tension.

I think Wizard/Ralph might be Simon.

I stand by my earlier assertion that someone like Charles Dance is going to pop up in a plush Whitehall office and tell Rachel, in a sinister manner, that this is all on a need-to-know basis!

I did nearly have to turn over when George said "They're not SAS and not SBS...
they're the best of the best of the best of both"

"They're the best" would have sufficed tbh George.

This series is just awful. It's like the production team want to make sure it is never commissioned again.

Oh I am tired! There are too many loose ends, it's like watching a massive ball of multi coloured wool every week. They have two hours left to make it make sense!

I’m with you @Myblueclematisit’s gone too James Bond ( not my thing, I never bother watching them ) killing 6 people after being tortured with the electric prod, the weird heart monitor thing and despite being in the process of dying, he was able to restart his heart with his phone.
Should be titled
“Capture- Suspend Your Disbelief”

Dh thinks that Pierson is actually one of the good guys, but he did kill Frank ( who I liked ) so it’s a no from me! Although why save her life I suppose ? .. On a lighter note ..
I’d have thought that the ‘ white rabbit ‘ woman or the other one would have offered Rachel a cup of tea or do you need the bathroom after all this running about she is doing , but nothing , only ‘ tit for tat ‘ negotiations and sucking up to the weird Wizard one who Pierson didn’t kill ( yet )

@HellenicOfTroy Wizard being Simon is a good call. Never thought of that. And those weird messages he sent. He just might be masterminding this

After really enjoying the first 2 series I am giving up. Too confusing for me.

I’ve watched the Dublin Murders this weekend and I was convinced it was the same guy (clearly not convinced enough to research it so thank you 🤣).

I have no idea what’s happening. I have no idea who is good or bad anymore. I have no idea who is in charge of anything.

Feel sorry for the framed guy though. His lack of ammo seems like it will be a key turning point.

But there was ammunition when it was brought in and then it disappeared. The police officer in charge of the evidence said it had been brought in.

Because he "looked pensive"?

Because he knew they tried to kill hom so wants revenge

Secrets make good television but there shouldn't be so many secrets that even the audience don't have a cats chance in hell of even following the plot.

I agree @MissBattleaxe. There's challenging your audience to think hard and keep up, and then there's totally bamboozling them at the risk of losing them altogether.

I agree. It's supposed to be entertainment not a test of endurance!
