The earlier series 3 Line of Duty was about corrupt people in high places engaged in
paedophilia activity. The former chief superintendent had been involved and
DS Ted Hastings had to arrest him. Steve was accused by another detective who shot a female detective in the head. :-0

How could DS Steve be told at the scene of the guns heist that there were no casualties ?

Did those who ambushed the convoy use blanks ?

Don't forget Hargreaves, the Police Rep. He is always shifty when he sits in on interviews.

Anyone but dear old Ted! :-D

I liked that DC who was Steve,s assistant, briefly. After work she liked a few drinks and was a pool hustler. Pity she was thrown out the Hospital window.

Those Police have to take a lot of risks that would have us bricking it.

There's a few corrupt officers in AC-12

He that says there's no such thing as an honest man is himself a knave.

Well his computer was open to suggest this David. But I don't know.

I think we are being led up the garden path to be honest.

There are too many people with the initial H to be sure.

DS Steve and DI Fleming are doing all the work while their Superintendent
pace up and down in his office.
Is he the Officer contacting DS John Corbett by computer ?

I like the fact that this series has already included characters from the previous series.

If you have not watched Series 1-4 you may not realise the significance of the characters as they re-appear.

I don't think that Hastings is H. Unless of course it is a double bluff.

Apparently there is a student drinking game attached to this programme.

You have to take a drink everytime Hastings says the word 'fella'.

Seized weapons are deactivated before being accepted into police storage.
Once no longer needed as evidence weapons are destroyed by smelting.
Exception: legally held weaons and collector's pieces.
Large amounts of ammunition are dealt with by Army Bomb disposal.

Rather than pointless raids on police storage an OCG might like to consider one of the (legal) private sector defence depots. Not easy pickings though. The most effective way of taking weapons from such storage is not armed raids but corruption.

Send for A12.

LOD is pretty good at keeping the audience guiessing as to who is bad cop/good cop. Hastings has his problems but is prob not H.

Crooked, murderous DS John Corbett, he's a character :-0

Line of Duty was filmed in Belfast. It's a gripping yarn. Even the members of AC-12
don't trust each other.

I think H will prove to be the Superintendent who is in financial mess.

Good job it's only fiction ?

Second part last Sunday, with more twist and turns.

Anyone watching?

Anyone got any idea who H is?

I think we are being thrown a red herring with Ted Hasting (like the battle).

Lots of meaningful looks, but we didn't see whose photo the interviewee picked out.
