pittsburgh phil Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Not gonna lie, I'm moist with anticipation for this! IF big Ted is crooked I'm going to have to lie down in a darkened room for the next two or three years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A96 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Been watching all four series over the last couple of weeks. All still available on I-Player at the moment. A few observations/predictions :- First time I'd seen series 1 and I reckon it was probably the best of the lot. I agree with a lot of folk that the formal interview scenes are the highlights. Best single episode - the first one of series 3 when Daniel Mays was outstanding Worst bit - the ending to seies 3 from the moment Dot Cotton's accomplice , an armed cop, started shooting in the AC-12 HQ to help Dot escape. A "jump-the-shark" moment for me . Reminded me on "Between the Lines" which was a similar BBC drama from about 25 years ago. The first two series of it were brilliant , and well worth tracking down on You Tube. But after that it went more action-and-adventure , than police internal complaints procedures. Hastings can't be bent , can he ?........but I think his Masonic links could be played on a lot more in the next series Dot Cotton's dying declaration about "H" is a red herring. He was clearly a very bad apple , so it's obvious that he was actually trying to say "H-E-A-R-T-S......if you cannae spell it....." The closing scenes in series 4 didn't mention Jamie being disciplined or sent down or anything like that. Or even that he changed his name to Max Lowe and joined the Witness Proection Programme in Aberdeen on loan from Derby. Anyway , I wouldn't be surprised if he features again somewhere down the line. Hastings will get into Kate Fleming's knickers before too long as she's got the hots for him. That's what the furtive looks between them at the end of series 4 were about. I'd love to se the wee scrote who was Tommy Hunter's gopher in series 1 get his comeuppance. The one who was going to cut off Arnott's fingers with the bolt-cutters. Order of widness - 1 Arnott's girlfriend - the cop 2 Georgia who got flung out the hospital window 3 Jill Biggalow / Polly Walker 4 Jackie Laverty / Gina McKee 5 Kate/ Vicki McClure 6 Denton/Keeley Hawes ......Only because we know from other programmes that she scrubs up a lot better than Denton Edited March 26, 2019 by A96 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Polly Walker for me will always be the honey trap who put a bullet through the head IRA guys brain in her scads at the beginning of Patriot Games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Have just re-watched the first three series. Jed Mercurio has a really low opinion of Scottish character doesn't he? Tommy Hunter, Jane Ackers and her husband, Mike Dreyden and the character played by the ginge from Still Game ...all utter c***s. Yet one of the heroes of the series, a wee gadge from Greenock, has a character with a London/SE accent!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not with an English accent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought ACC Higgins was one I missed but I assume you mean ACC Hilton played by Paul Higgins 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
