Line Of Duty Finale

[thesshhh]

A massive disappointment....don’t you think?

[Ken4155]

As Dot lay dying, Kate was asking who the mastermind was. She asked him to nod or blink as she went through the alphabet but everyone who watched the tape was so engrossed in watching for his blink, that they failed to notice his hand signalling in Morse Code. And what he was signalling was that there were 4 Dots. As he had been unmasked as the 'Caddy', he was actually signalling that there were 4 'Caddies'.

[10ClarionSt]

Mmm. How do we know that? Just because it was put forward by Arnott? It might just have been nerves twitching as he lay dying.

[Mick-the-Miller]

Yes, I thought that was weak - it’s just on the cusp of becoming a farce!

[Tilly2]

It's a farce that kept me on the edge of my seat, though. I hardly dared breathe in case I missed a bit.

[10ClarionSt]

But going back to the OP, I thought it was a bit disappointing, not massive. I can wait for the next series. No big deal.

[lady-janine]

it was in a previous series Tilly. He's the one who was talking in schools, etc. Told he was the 'best caddy' that the criminal ever had. So there is still an insider. Have to admit I missed the bit about Tina except she was told 'well done' by DCS Carmichael and suppose that was code for 'sort her out'.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, LadyJ. I did watch the last series but had forgotten that part.

[lady-janine]

Tilly - at least it keeps us concentrating on the telly instead of snoozing off through boredom at all the re-runs and sport. I admire people who attempt to be the best at their sport but it is so boring imo.

[Tilly2]

I watched the last part of the T20 cricket. I do enjoy that.
Wallop!

[lady-janine]

That's okay Tilly. I have no issue with people who love watching it. OH watches it al the time but I just am not interested and get thoroughly bored and go off to do something else. I get annoyed in the winter though as I do like Ski Sunday but if I try to watch it OH invariably asks about evening meal or some other inconsequential thing that could wait.

[Tilly2]

Make him a sandwich beforehand. That'll shut him up. :-)

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the start of Killing Eve. Villanelle is a force to be reckoned with.

[lady-janine]

Agree with you ther Tilly. Long may it continue.

Unfortunately it has to be a cooked meal. Doesn't want one at lunchtime so I can't get away with that and the mess in the kitchen if he has to do it himself . . . . . no will just have to continue with the shouting match.

[Tilly2]

Use a slow cooker...

[lady-janine]

hahahahaha. I do whenever possible Tilly. I think he just likes interrupting me. Little boy needs attention syndrome.

Bye for now. I' m off to do things.

[Tilly2]

Bye, Lady J.
Thesshhh, sorry to go off topic.
I, for one, was not disappointed. I was riveted to my seat. Very much looking forward to the next series.

[ichkeria]

It was very very good I thought.
Presumably “Dot” Cotton now needs to be rehandled “Dot dot dot dot .... dot dot dot dot ... “ Cotton.
And for me never having seen the thing before the mystery of why would someone call themselves H especially if their name began with H was solved :-)
Some things did seem a bit unsatisfactory tho: dodgy coppers popping up with alarming regularity all over the place.
And given the action takes place just a few weeks ago in real time, an awful lot seemed to be covered in the trailing bylines!
It was Pilkington who killed Corbett was it not? So his cover is protected by McQueen who is quite readily believed about everything she says.
It’s never really explained, if Corbett really was such a decent soul, why he would drill holes through an innocent woman’s bones. No matter the past. Maybe that comes out in the next series.

[aelmpvw]

considering Pilkington is a murdering psychopath, wouldn't he be the first one that McQueen turned in?

[10ClarionSt]

Another Royal non-event.

[Tilly2]

Which one was Pilkington? The lad who joined the Police Force?
