Still enjoying it though, unlike the cool kids who feel they have to tell us they are not constantly.

This. Tiresome, isn't it !!

I can't wait for series 7 so they can tell us how much more they aren't enjoying that!
I’m just sad they didn’t find a way to abbreviate ‘No Comment’ to three letters.
And yet NFC would have done beautifully...
I enjoyed it so much last night I had to watch it again this morning 🙂

they've invested 36 hours of their life so far. plus forum time. got to get something out of it.

Yep I think that’s pretty much how a chat forum works
( Mrs Kilo seems to like LoD but it is so excruciatingly and utterly unrealistic it annoys me so I try, not always successfully, to avoid it, does that make me a cool kid? 😉 )

I’ve avoided the programme, the chat around it on here is quite interesting / amusing. Much like I have no interest in enormous genital warts but if I saw a thread on it here I’d probably click on it 😉

What if I told you 'H' actually stands for herpes? You read it here first.
I still find the series entertaining, it's just a shame they couldn't keep up the quality of the first few series. Doesn't feel like it can be adequately resolved in a single one hour episode, either.

Hi, you must be new here?
Doesn’t feel like it can be adequately resolved in a single one hour episode, either.
They never do. It keeps the pace up. There will be a couple of resolved issues, some things wrapped up in the titles, some carrying over to the next series.
I couldn't help but thinking the Spanish armed police officer with the unconvincing accent had the look of Nesbitt about him, but obscured with face mask and night vision could just be another red herring. Makes you think.
Edit: ok, not just me either after a cursory google.

All they need to do is to sort out who killed Vellar, how that ties back to the OCG and which chief coppers are bent, fix Hastings retirement, wrap up the Davidson plot line, sort out Steve's bad back and his relationship with Corbetts widow, oh and the 50 grand she got from Hastings, then work out what happens next to Kate. How will they pad the last half hour after that lot gets done?
some carrying over to the next series.
I'm clearly not paying attention. I'm sure someone said this was the final season.
From Jed: “We’re in a situation where it’s not entirely clear that there will be a seventh series,” he said. “We would hope there could be. But we’re having to do our planning coming out of COVID, and a whole bunch of other things, around the idea that these things aren’t guaranteed at all now.”
Hardly a sign of a final season

Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways, plotwise - they can't hold anything back for another series if there's a chance that series won't happen. You'd risk ending up with the final episode ever being a massive cliffhanger.
Perhaps, like Hannibal, all three of them will go over the edge of the AC12 foyer balcony and we'll never know...
Carmichael races to intercept Kate and Jo in the MX5, at the end of the scene she orders someone to look into the owner of the MX5.
The next morning she says she knew where to find them because they have trackers on all AC12 vehicles. But didn't know it was Steve's car as she points out the discovered it was his car later on.
Not seen a single episode so no comment from me other than my ex force mates reckoning Rosie was the most accurate TV cop show ever.
Times may have moved on however...
But didn’t know it was Steve’s car as she points out the discovered it was his car later on.
I assume that the person that fitted the tracker knew it was Steve's car as it is a service vehicle.
Thought the MX5 was his private vehicle?
That was a very odd episode wasn’t it? Carmichael seems like the biggest miserable dickhead on earth. Hopefully she’ll be in with the OCG and get shot or knocked off next week. That or we’ll find out the last three series have been Steve hallucinating from all the painkillers.
You’d risk ending up with the final episode ever being a massive cliffhanger.
Nah, they'll go for the Quantum Leap wrap up:
They never found out who H was
Thought the MX5 was his private vehicle?
I didn't think this was made clear - nothing was mentioned other than Kate making the comment that Steve should have a grown-up car by now.
I'd have thought that any Police Service vehicles would have to be sensible, i.e. be able to carry 3 passengers and have a decent sized boot, and look professional. Doubt a sports car would cut the mustard.
other than Kate making the comment that Steve should have a grown-up car by now.
Ah, yes, in the 'clanging script line for the purposes of plot expediency' that LOD does so , er, well.
Don't think that MX5 has ever been shown before, so guessing it is a private car. WHen she got the call to say they were tracking Katie, I assumed they will have told her (or she knew) that the tracking was possible because it was a member of AC12s car. In which case she could have been informed who on the drive to stop them (which in its self was very well prepared for such short notice! They knew exactly what road they would turn onto, in London, amazing haha)
in London
It's not London, it's some unnamed regional city (well, it's Belfast where it's filmed, but it's set in Manchestpoolhampton-upon-Tyne)
So Steve, who lives in an apartment in London, and by his own admission has no real hobbies or interests beyond his job, has a new £25k+ MX5 sports car that he has never mentioned, on a DS salary?. He appears to be able to use his police issue mundane saloon for personal and/or clandestine police work, so he doesn't need a car at all.
Also he has spent this season making multiple trips up the country for a quick shag slash unlawful home search, in a car we now infer has a tracker.
EDIT - I had always assumed it was London.
Kelly MacDonald did a great bit of face acting when she was told that her uncle was in fact her dad. If you can't wring something like that for emotion then you should hand in your equity card
Aside from that, it was the most boring ac12 interrogation scene ever, the only thing I enjoyed was Ted's no nonsense jabbering. Not reached the dizzy heights of Dot cotton or Lyndsay, or even the DC who kept fumbling the iPad for reasons to do with a racist allegation against ted ??!!
It’s not London, it’s some unnamed regional city (well, it’s Belfast where it’s filmed, but it’s set in Manchestpoolhampton-upon-Tyne)
It has to be within a short driving distance of Liverpool as Steph is in Merseyside and Steve the shagga seems to be just nipping in when he visits her
It can't be based in London because the MIT are based 'on the hill' and as you norverners keep telling us there's no hills in the South East.
And it's Central Police. If it was London, it'd be Epicentral Police because as we all know London is the greatest city in the world and the Epicentre of all things.
At this rate at least the next series will be a free for all as Ted retires, Steve is suspended from duty and Kate goes rogue.
‘Not in the line of duty’ - concludes in early 2022.
Perhaps the next series will see Ted doing a spot of gardening/spying on the neighbours. Steve going off the rails a la James Brown due to a combination of painkiller addiction and losing his job. Kate will go rogue and form her own OCG. Perhaps another well known TV actor can have a guest spot as a corpse.
What about the wee donkey?

funkmasterp just said - going off the rails a la James Brown due to a combination of painkiller addiction and losing his job.
The TV footage of the Gail Vellor character had ‘Property of Midlands Now’ written at the bottom of the screen. Which fits with the Central Police and in the first series they mention Kings Chase which I took as a allusion to Cannock Chase, so a centre of the country setting.
I like the ideas above for series 7 😄👍.
I always thought it was based in Birmingham. Seems to fit a lot of the stories
Remember Martin Compston (Steve) is a Scot with a strong accent. It always throws me when I hear him speak in real life.
I always figured Nottingham

We dealt with our big OCG problem a few years ago. The Police convoys past our office to the court for the trials were clearly the inspiration for LoD though!
What has always bugged me is the OCG doesnt have a name other than the OCG. Surely even a nickname would be used by now? I mean there is the Krays, the Mafia, The Kelly Gang, the Crips etc and now "The OCG". Its a bit general, and what happens if anyone else in the city tries a bit of organised crime? Would they become OCG2?
Kelly MacDonald being interviewed by Lauren Laverne on 6Music now.
@TimP
As Hunter, previous Head of the OCG was Scottish they would have been 'The Scots' and I suspect that that would have been tricky to get past the BBC inclusivity board.
Looking at them, I think I'd be more afraid of The Krays...
The Krays:
The OCG:
CHIS
If you've never watched LoD would you be able to start at this series and understand what was going on?
If you’ve never watched LoD would you be able to start at this series and understand what was going on?
Yes.
Nope
If you’ve
never watched all LoD would you be able to start at this series and understand what was going on?
Nope. (Answering for my wife. Doesn't seem to impede her enjoyment though, and means I get to 'splain.)
If you’ve never watched LoD would you be able to start at this series and understand what was going on?
I expect you could watch it and enjoy it but some bits will make no sense and a whole load of back story is lost. They are all on iPlayer so just start at series 1. It's still good.
If you’ve never watched all LoD would you be able to start at this series and understand what was going on?
Funny cos its true
If you’ve never watched LoD would you be able to start at this series and understand what was going on?
Yes, but why not start at series one anyway?
If you end up liking it then you'll have spoilered yourself all over the place.
Any program that has me searching the internet to understand the script isn’t worth it for me. Why do they do that? Do they think it makes them look clever?
I’m out.
I'd prefer TV that's not dumbed down. Each to their own.
Definitely don't watch The Wire or The West Wing.
I hear Friends is popular?
Don't feel that I'm missing out. fwiw have series 1&2 on dvd and imo series 1-3 were the best, after that it became simply ridiculous.
Anyone want to have a pseudo wager on who H is?
I’m going for Steve Arnott, based on the fact it’d likely have max shock factor.
Are we even going to find out?
I think it will be left uncertain with a few possible within ac12.
Are we even going to find out?
I'm sure I read that 'H' is being interviewed on TV in the morning, so it's looking likely.
... pseudo wager...
Wondered what the hell you were going on about on first reading what with my mind inserting an additional n.
I reckon it'll some fringe character previously not considered.
My predictions are that MrsMC will get home from a weekend away sorting out her parents care home and legal stuff at 20:58 tonight, start to tell us all about it, and there will be a murder around about 21:01.
No idea what will happen on LoD though
Is it too early to say I thought the ending was an anticlimax?
Is it too early to say I thought the ending was an anticlimax?
You may well win the pseudo wager.
I'm hoping I'm wrong though.
I'll have a bacon sandwich on it being Andrea Wise, deputy chief constable.
wow wow wow wow, wow.
🤞 H from steps
He died in series 2
#oldjokeshome
Andrea Wise, deputy chief constable.
I was thinking her or the Chief Constable himself
I was thinking her or the Chief Constable himself

Well MrsMC has just rung to say the M25 has ground to a halt with Police, Fire and ambulance blue lighting it up the hard shoulder, so we may get to watch tonight's episode without interruption....
I don’t think Hastings is H but clearly something is up with him. Any thoughts? I wonder if he is John Corbett’s dad? Something from his past given the looking at old class photo etc
Surprised tonight’s episode is only an hour, it’s usually around 90 mins for the finale. There is an awful lot to wrap up in 60 mins!
Yeah I thought that too
It's a seventh episode, someone said because they couldn't get it all into a 90 minute sixth
Was that it?
Underwhelmed.
