Line of Duty

[Stato]

Can we rule out Jim Davidson at this point?

Like most people, I ruled him out in about 1980.

Steve Arnott spends a traumatic afternoon where his life was in danger following an armed attack and ends up - in self defence - killing a sniper.
2 weeks off on paid leave - recuperating ? Extra time off with a counsellor ensuring he has no PTSD. ?? Oh no.
He's seemingly back at work the very *next* day fretting about his overdue appointment at occupational health.

I was under the impression that if a police officer shot someone they were off operation duty for a fair while. Given last night's Gunfight at the OK Corrall, they'd all be off for ages.

I think they call it poetic licence

He’s more worried about not scoring this season. The man’s a machine.

I thought his injury and drugs had left him 'unable to perform'?

Ted Hastings even got a mention at PMQs today

Quite, hence not scoring.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

More to the point.


2 of the iconic catchphrases, in the same episode.

“Bent Coppers”
And
“Mother of God”

Hastings delivers!!

"The letter of the law! The letter!" Is my personal favourite. Love it.

Without knowing what was said at PMQs... the "What had happened to us, when did we stop caring about honesty and integrity?" dialog last episode immediately made me think of a certain someone.

 

[Surf's Up]

So.......basically.......we haven't got a scooby what's going on

Yeah that whole speech felt like it could've been aimed at general political discourse (here and in the US) over the last few years...

Without knowing what was said at PMQs... the "What had happened to us, when did we stop caring about honesty and integrity?" dialog last episode immediately made me think of a certain someone.

Particularly as it was followed by "This is what happens when you put a known liar in charge"

 

[Machiavelli]

We might be able to rule H out of this one.

Hiding in plain sight all along, the rotter!

You should try reading this thread when you haven't even seen the programme!

I think he's fretting because Occ Health will be wanting to talk to him about his positive (?) drugs test.

The Bassist and backing vocalist. Everyone remember her in Trainspotting?
