Talking of 'red herrings', surely the biggest one of the entire 6 seasons has to be the use of a photograph of James Nesbitt as a member of the OCG? Unless, of course, he ain't dead and there is to be another series.............................................
Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey what a weird ending. I shan't breathe until it is properly resolved. Surely not Buckells. He doesn't have the strength of mind and who fast-tracked him? Now tell me that.
Would someone please explain this. Hastings gets £100 000 in an envelope. He says he was blocked at every turn in trying to return it. Did we see any evidence of that?
Next he says he split it 50/50 because he thought it was bribe that might turn nasty . But how does splitting it make any difference.
And where and when did he put the £50000 that wasn't found?
Only seen the back end of the episode but if the van driver was the same one from the prison, why not drive to somewhere else, rather than stick to to plan?
Buckells is not H. H was Tommy Hunter and he was killed in series 2. Buckells was the last man standing of the gang. So inept he got caught, by Davidson whom he recruited!
yeah I had to watch it twice - second with a Line of Duty accredited interpreter - and I THINK I understand most of it
Laurence Christopher was Stephen Lawrence and they werent instititionally corrupt but racist. That was the one where it turned out the No 1 officer didnt know you cd arrest on suspicion - to preserve evidence. He didnt. The gangs father used to give coppers freebies at one of his brothels
Vella was Bella - Carmine doodah who was nurdered in Malta after fingering the prime minister in corruption.
The decomposing bodies in Thpain were the brinks mat gang most of whom are dead
Set me thinking that in many areas of life you rarely get neat, conclusive endings. Always some issues and questions left hanging over.
Good to see Jo with a nice dog.The end, definately
// Good to see Jo with a nice dog.The end, definately//
you see but you do not observe: Jo is carrying a "thang" in her right hand as she comes out the door
and the dog bounds out and nuzzles the toy
THEN as the leggy red head good looker, the dog is on a short lead, and muzzles the reddy who I conclude is the trainer
