  • Has been commissioned for 2 new series, great stuff.
  • Started watching season 1 on Netflix last night as missed the first 2 seasons. Even with knowing how certain characters will pan out it's still quality viewing

    I started watching the first season this week as well.......they all look so young.

    So is Hastings dodgy or playing a longer game due to not being able to trust anyone? Dismissing the premis that Hilton might have been murdered when he couldn't have pulled the trigger unless he used his foot is rather suspicious.

    This was gonna be one of my criticisms of last nights episode, that a gun with a particularly long barrel had been used in such a way, but maybe there's more to it

    Still don't explain why the sweaty in the wheelchair is trying so desperately to hide his Scotch accent (badly) though, we shall have to wait and see
    Would be interesting to know if there were Hilton's fingerprints on shotgun cartridges also.

    You can say that again!
  • Season 1 is still my favourite. Lennie James was the best copper they've had on the show.
  • Still not sure why they didn't compare the different handwriting on the tampered evidenice bag, might have save a lot of trouble and her hand too !!
  • Was the solicitor a balaclava man? I thought he called the dodgy police chief who then sorted a balaclava yobbo to 'sort it!'

    The solicitor was the one who smashed Arnott (if I'm right).

  • One thing they have to watch out for in the future is if they have an 'A' grader like Daniel May or the brilliant (but a bit too everpresent like Tom Hollander) Jason Watkins in the first episode, you know they're going to be a gonner.
  • Bit like Police Squad, the special guest getting killed straight away
  • Thandie Newton didn't though?

    not quite. The solicitor got the call from Nick Huntley and then made a call to the top dog to get someone there to smash Arnott.

    The solicitor was 'in on it' but not a balaclava man as such. In truth, the balaclava men are fairly insignificant as they are just the henchmen.

    like the NKVD/KGB to the CIA/FBI or SMERSH to the Men From Uncle

  • Wasn't SMERSH in James Bond?

    I am sure the Men from UNCLE had THRUSH
  • Wasn't SMERSH in James Bond?

    I am sure the Men from UNCLE had THRUSH

    you're right .. confusing my Thrush with my Smersh (different ointments required) .. it defo was James Bond involved with Smersh ?
  • there is a VERY funny cartoon in the 'Times' today featuring Corbyn and gang as characters from L O D .. I can't print it here as the 'Times' online is subscription only access
  • Several of the political cartoonists tweet their cartoons, so you can see them even if the paper is paywalled. I assume you mean this one?

    He's @BrookesTimes on twitter, but I'd proceed with caution as Thursday's is a tad disturbing.

    My thoughts exactly.

    thanks for the info .. Brooke is a VERY cruel but right on the money political cartoonist
  • After she had killed the fella that attacked her, she should have just called the police, told them what happened and gone home for her tea, thereby not wasting my time on this badly written tosh.
  • Well done Thandie on your OBE.

  • Sod the gongs, when is the new series?
  • Series 5 in first half of 2019
    Series 6 has been commissioned too, but unlike to be on screen for a couple of years.

    I saw this thread bumped this morning and thought the new series had started!

    Why does it take so long to make them? Jed Mercurio is more interested in Bodyguard??? Or is it because of the cast's working schedules? I really like DS Arnott and can't wait to see him again. It's been too long...

    Yeah. Casting schedules I’d imagine. I think it’s a case of finding a time when all the cast and crew can find a time that works for them all. Same reason there is always such a big gap between things like Sherlock etc.
    I read they are still undecided about a 2nd series of Bodyguard. Although I guess that indecision is more about how it will go rather than if it will go.
  • I'd rather they didn't do a second series of Bodyguard, not that I didn't enjoy the first one.
  • I hope they don't bring back Keeley Hawes' character - don't get me wrong I absolutely loved the actress. She was amazing in Line of Duty too - it would simply be too unrealistic for her to come back, no matter in what way.
