So rotten Ryan and Jimmy Nesbitt-in-a-Just-For-Men-advert have joined Line Of Duty’s ever-growing list of casualties – killed in a moonlit lorry park and a labyrinthine Spanish villa respectively.
Acting DSU Joanne Davidson is languishing in a cell at HMP Brentiss, with scowling warders waiting for the security cameras to mysteriously malfunction so they can duff her up (or worse).
Meanwhile, anti-corruption unit AC-12 is falling apart at the lanyard-clad seams. Supt Ted Hastings is going all wibbly in the glass lift. DI Steve Arnott looks increasingly like a confused teddy bear in a waistcoat. DI Kate Fleming’s cheekbones are getting sharper by the minute with the stress of it all. Frankly, 15m frazzled viewers feel her pain.
