    A 6th or even a 7th series doesn’t mean they can’t finish up storylines.
    Unlikely to put people off watching future series.

    i think H is resolved this year

    Turns out Hastings is originally from Northern Ireland...

    Can’t see how Ted will get out of this. They have him banged to rights!
    although there was a prison guard present when he visited Lee Banks. Perhaps he can verify Teds version of events

    Still think Gill is very very dodgy. Should be a good finale anyway, built up nicely tonight.

    H is not Ted. Big twist to come next week.

    Confused. Now I'll have to binge watch the first series this week to try and figure out what went on!

    My two pence worth.... Ted too canny to be making all those school boy errors. Reckon he’s going deep undercover to get H. McQueen is a cop and will be working with him. Gill is well dodgy!

    Also thought Anna Maxwell Martin’s performance was brilliantly fun this last episode.

    Perfectly set up next week.
    Hastings ruled out as H.
    Still expecting big twist with Lisa, everyone seems to think she’s a cop. Could be something else.

    H is defo definitely Ted, he’ll get out of it next week.

    Im more confident in my theory that Lisa McQueen is the child of Jackie and Tony and she’s infiltrated the OCG to find H and get revenge on the death of her parents.

    The twist will be if Hastings actually is H.

    Hastings is quite clearly being framed when it comes to the envelope of cash.

    Hastings being set up either by Gill or by the Asian guy whose meant to be anti corruption but probably the most corrupt of the lot.

    Saw last night's episode was directed by 'Sue' Tully. I've rewatched the entire four series again, and I have to say last night's was the poorest episode in all five series. Even beats the Looney Tunes Kate and Dot chase at the end of series three. Hastings acting completely out of character with all that nightclub, OCG business. The sort of thing Arnott would've done in earlier series, but Ted? 

    EDIT: That is I rewatched the four previous series.

    I think Gill is H. That is why she always types on the chat and never speaks. Its got to be a woman. 

    It would be too easy for Ted to be H. 

    An alternative is for Ted to get off and then in the final credits reveal he is H. 

    Anyway, enjoying it so far

    Superb cameo from Anna Maxwell Martin as Deputy super Carmichael. For those of us in team Ted it was a hard watch but good craic at the same time.
    These Amazonian high flyers are kicking our Enniskillen Edward when his, mother of Jesus, Peter, Paul and Mary pleas are falling on death ears.

    Line of Duty is the best Drama with comic overtones ever made. Not letting Steve Arnott rise to the occasion was cruel but to be expected when the average Joe wouldn't be walking let alone shagging after ending up in the stairwell.

    Lisa McQueen is out for revenge because of the connection with Tony Gates (Lennie James) from series 1. So she isn't undercover or OCG ma Baker but the daughter who wants justice.

    Ted's pillow talk with Gill Biggeloe must make Polly Walker Favourite for H (horny ?)
    But we may find that just like the SOC there may be an impasse and we wait till the next series to find out.

    Ted is innocent OK.

    Agree that Gill is H. Where does Lisa McQueen fit in as Tony Gates' daughter there though?

    One theory is that she is Tony and Jackies daughter. Plausible but I wouldn’t like that personally.

    Gates had two privately educated daughters. The oldest one was the one doing the piano recital at school. Unless she's had an unbelievably hard life after her dad died, I can't personally see Lisa being Gates' daughter.

    I think people are suggesting there was an unknown love child between Gates and Jackie, which could be Lisa.

    Without going back and watching series 1 it's hard to know if the timeline fits but Jed Mercurio does like a seemless connection  between series But with the odd loose stitch waiting to be picked and  that would fit in with his writing Raison d'être.

    Yeah, I believe it was mentioned in the first series that they (Gates and Jackie) had been together in the 90's before they both got married to other people. So it COULD work.
