My friend has a particularly... intense colleague, and she described having been grilled by her as “like a glass box spectacular” as coined by shrinepod and then had to explain that to the rest of her colleagues.

Practically criminal that her colleagues don't watch Line of Duty to get the reference in the first place.

Yeah never mind CHIS, we need to make sure everyone knows what WWW stands for!

I was shopping yesterday and walked past some cherry bakewells and started laughing to myself, then realised if anyone saw me they'd wonder what the hell was so funny. Masks are useful sometimes.

Please can one of you OCGs do a list of acronyms that we could all benefit from, in this thread? WWW, Aldi dot etc. I’m flummoxed, fellas!

Aldi/BTEC Dot - DS Chris Lomax
Cherry Bakewell - Jimmy Lakewell
WWW (waistcoat wearing wonder) - DI Steve Arnott
Waitrose Dot - Dot/DI Matthew Cottan

What else is there?

I’m a bit behind this thread but did anyone notice the glance aldi dot gave kates phone when he saw her screen saver photo? I can’t help but think this is going to be significant.

Yes I noticed this too . I’m not sure about his character to he honest.

I’m late to the party too but she’s Diane from Trainspotting for me too. Just waiting for her to give a speech about being recruited by the OCG and starting the next sentence with “but hey”

Is H the Hendon Police Training place? I was rewatching s1 and someone makes a comment to Gates about “what [Gates] went through in Hendon”.

Could fit with foster kids being groomed and put through Hendon to go in as bent coppers.

Whatever I watch her in, I keep expecting her to break out a "don't us girrrrls just love that".

Anyone know what this was? The article doesnt say

 

[Smellycat18]

Re: the episode 5 leak that’s been reported, I’m dying to know the “top actor” and “key plot twist” that was revealed!!!!!! Or is the news just another way to build up the anticipation for Sunday’s episode??

ETA: saw @Nnrr46 posted similar x

 

[Giggling Squid]

Pleeeeease if anyone did see it, can you use the spoiler tag.

I have ZERO interest in finding out before Sunday.

But his cheekbones though...

I’ve seen some speculation about what it was, but I’m not posting even in a spoiler tag I’ll conduct myself to the letter of the law fellas!!

Finished my rewatch yesterday and Patricia Carmichael has questions to answer - bent copper on her team, gets rid of Michelle so the bent officer can be alone with Gill, and who else could have given the order to murder Gill?

 

[marvelgirl98]

Spoiler

BBC posted a photo saying that Carmichael was going to be in episode 5. I don't know if that is what the article was referencing?
