    I've finally got my head around this concept after mistakingly thinking it was a cutting edge drama with a close allign to reality.

    It's tosh. But quite enjoyable tosh.

    So let me get this right.
    We've got an armed organised gang running about , not any old gang but one in the 2 previous raids have opened fire and on one of the raids killed was it 3 serving police officers. 
    Now there's about 8 in this gang and theve now acquired semi automatic weapons from the previous heist.
    The police have received info another jobs on.
    Now this is a police force that will turn up with at least a dozen officers to a dawn raid for a suspected drug pusher or someone whose let a flare off at a football match.
    This police force hasn't got enough armed officers on the scene to deal with a diversion.
    Blimey half the British police force, the army and if there was a bit of water within a 100 miles the navy would be involved in taking this gang out.
    Not if the top cops are bent, which is actually what the whole 5 series are about.

    I still think H is a collective rather than one bent copper.

    I think it's gonna be H from Steps

    I think this H thing is smoke and mirrors. Someone smart enough to run this massive criminal ring is not going to be stupid enough to use the initial of their real name.

    Wasn't it originally 'H' because that's all Dot could get out before he died?
    He was trying to spell it out no?

    Why would other criminals etc know him as H?

    Unless I've forgotten something.

    As he is just about everything right now I’d like to put forward H arry Redknapp.

    When Steve and Fleming spoke to the black female sgt outside in series 4, or maybe the first episode of series 5 (she was vaping), she said they knew the head of all criminal activity as 'H'. She wouldn't have known what Dot whispered.

    Thanks.
    Exactly. And Corbett has said H too.
    The originally belief seemed to be that Dot was trying to spell a name. Everything else suggests H is just a code name.

    Cottan died as he was trying to answer the question as to who the bent copper is.  His dying statement only got as far as "H".  What he was trying to say was: 

    "H-h-h-h-have forgotten the bloke's name.  Sorry".

    I think H is Corbett because that's his middle initial. It's a family thing to pass the initial down. His Dad was Jonathan H Corbett and his Grandad was Harry H Corbett.

    I'm embarrassed enough to say that you will have to be of a certain age to appreciate the connection between the lot of them which is probably why most on here have failed to work it all out.

    I think Steve's ex, the copper, is going to be somehow involved. Something about her.

    So, they all had a hand in it?

    More second hand stuff collected by a family of rag and bone men than puppeteers.

    I hope they don’t sweep it all under the carpet

    If Super Ted was H, and benefitting from crime couldn't he stay at a hotel where the khazi flushes.

    Guessed he wouldn't last the series though a bit sudden! And said ages ago she was probably also undercover.

    They made a point of Hastings saying his wife was attacked at the same time he was will Gill, perhaps she’s involved too.

    I reckon she is H.

    Called this before, think her return is more than coincidental alongside the money he has received. Thought tonight's episode was superb pretty much throughout, definitely the best in the series.

    Yeah we think Gill is H too. Still wasn’t expecting that though.

    Felt like he was going to die from quite early in the episode and was certain when Hastings visited the prison.
  • Weegie Addick
    Weegie Addick Posts: 16,521
    Though maybe it is too obvious that Gill is H? Do we still reckon Hastings is being framed or is he up to his eyes in it??

    Not sure if it was a glitch on my recording - but it looked like there was a flash frame (like they used to have in the Young Ones) when they uncovered John’s Irish background. 

    I tried to pause on it but couldn’t. 
  • stackitsteve
    stackitsteve Posts: 12,102
    They were making it too obvious H was Hastings at one point, so that basically ruled him out....BUT he’s obviously up to something being given envelopes full of 50s, no doubt he’ll be the hero though in a fortnights time

    excellent episode tonight. From start to finish.
