Steve, the waistcoat wearing wonder. Not my words or my opinion, but he has a bit of a fan base on here.

Spoiler

someone posted a summary of ep5 earlier and it said something about Teds authority being undermined. I think she could be brought in to oversee his last few weeks?

 

[Pulltheotherone]

Danny Waldron and Jo brother and sister ? Danny fostered for some reason ?
Steph Corbett I think intertwined but not sure how.
could she be Steph with an “ H” ?
And clutchimg now !

I’ve always thought he’s suspicious but I don’t know if it’s too obvious because of the way he is with Ted

Is it just me who thinks that H is Ryan Sindhwani is the head of ocg? It's just the way he looked at Ted from the stairs and also he wants to shut down AC-12?

He’s a wrong un that fella

I don’t fully understand the whole “we didn’t take dna back when jo joined the force” but haven’t a couple of the series shown that they keep all the officers dna to rule out crime scenes contamination? Including Roz and I’m sure there was another one that said their dna wasn’t on file and they were told to go put it on.

Years ago when someone joined the police they would just take fingerprints of all new recruits. For example if you were at a house breaking and touched something and scenes of crime lifted prints yours would be eliminated from the enquiry as you were the officer who attended the crime. Probably get a telling off for not being forensically aware aswell. Whereas now they also take DNA for new starts.

 

[PinkFong]

There are about, 1.1 million non criminal "nominals" in the PNC. Trust me on that one lol

A police officer would be on the PED database rather than PNC.

There was a famous case a few years ago where a person got done for a relatively minor driving offense - and after routinely taking their DNA, they busted the father for a series of rapes that had been unsolved for 30+ years!

I worked for the FSP that processed the DNA. It was flown in by helicopter.

Exciting and rewarding day!! Helping solve the first crimewatch appeal!

 

[Dontcareenough]

So many more theories since I was last on yesterday, just caught up on them all. I've decided that I’m going to rewatch season 1 and 2 before Sunday and see if anything jumps out at me.

Spoiler

Re Craig’s items to bring for the next episode, could he be referring to another body/person in a freezer, not necessarily dead but put there to die? Hence the hot water bottle to warm them up when found, and a stiff drink to get over the shock? Someone to hold us tight? Not sure bout this clue.

Andrea Wise told Ted it would take about a month before the changes take place, so presumably he won't be leaving immediately. He and his team will have time to sort out the current batch of bent coppers. I think Sindwhani is definitely one of them, and possibly Wise, although she could just be blindly following his orders. Once Sinwhani is rumbled, the order to disband AC12 will be rescinded and Ted's job will be saved. Hooray! ❤

And his final warning will be struck off the system too with any luck

Is it just me excited to see you know who back

Hopefully to be humiliated all over again.

 

[thegirlscout]

I thought we already knew that

Ooof I must have missed that! To be fair I was bingeing the whole show quite quickly. I thought it was just the man who Ted shot that was balaclava man? Who are the others? Are they the ones who killed the girls in Roz Huntley’s series?

 

[YellowLadybird]

Me after that episode and still after reading this entire thread

Amazing how they managed to turn it round and actually make me feel bad for Buckles. Like yeah, he's a bit of a tit detective and probably did small favours for people, but he's no criminal mastermind is he?

 

[geordiegirl]

Yes, I noticed the lack of prison pallor. It's funny how trivial stuff that's unrelated to the plot can make you wince. The carpet in DCC Wise's office sets my teeth on edge!

Omg I always say that too when I see the carpet! First saw it when Hilton was in it; it’s awful!

 

[LLJ]

Off work poorly after my vaccine so rewatching S1!!

 

[nbt]

I can’t bloody wait. I was a nervous wreck watching her grilling last time!

 

[Trey93]

I think Jo is related to Terry Boyle, her brother? She doesn’t seem a willing member of the OCG at all but she could be blackmailed over him. She’s also scared of the OCG so she can’t be too high up.

Also saw a post on Twitter about the locks on her door, that she is trying to keep someone in not out. I thought that was interesting.

Also saw a post on Twitter about the locks on her door, that she is trying to keep someone in not out. I thought that was interesting.

I don’t think this is likely to be the case only because I’m 99% sure (I remember looking out for it) that in one scene where she comes in, after locking everything she puts the key down on the sideboard next to the door. If it was to keep someone in then surely she’d keep the key on her?
