Man in a Suitcase: Man from the Dead (1.6, ITC, 1967)

"Mac, don't go."

"I have to. I have to, I just... have to."

"Where're you going?"

"To Southampton. I gotta get my suitcase and my car."

"Are they so important?"

"Yes ma'am. They're all I own."

Spoilers Below

In Line of Duty Season Six Episode One, directed by David Nettheim, DI Kate Fleming is working under the suspicious DCI Joanne “Jo” Davidson. The latter comes under AC-12’s attention when PS Farida Jatri reports Jo to DS Steve Arnott.

Before season six, Kate left AC-12. She works at the Hillside Lane Station as a member of the Murder Investigation Team under Jo. Ted lost the trust of some of his bosses because of the bribery charges. Steve wants to move departments for more chances at promotion.

Season Six starts with DS Christopher Lomax delivering a lead for the murder of Gail Vella to Jo from a CHIS, a.k.a. informant about a possible murder suspect. A suspect using the alias Ross Turner killed Gail. Jo asks her superior lazy DSU, Ian Buckell, for direct surveillance or an arrest, but he wants more evidence to back up the word of a male prostitute, a.k.a. the CHIS.

The following day Jo meets up with the whole “Operation Lighthouse” team investigating Gail’s murder. All of the team members will arm up to arrest Ross Turner in his Beechwood House flat. The surveillance team has captured some blurry photographs of a man peeking out of the flat. Sadly, the CHIS ran away, meaning he can’t verify the occupant as Ross.

The convoy picks up their weapons from the armory and rushes off. As they speed to the apartments, Jo notices something strange in the corner of one of the store-line streets. Kate tries to talk her into calling the possible crime in, but she refuses. Jo orders the convoy to stop. A minute later, a bunch of masked robbers runs out of a gambling shop. Three of the robbers are killed during the struggle to arrest them. Farida notices how young all of the criminals appear. The convoy is delayed while Jo contacts the station to send out replacements. Kate is given authority over the robbery crime scene while Jo continues their mission.

When the convoy finally arrives, the surveillance team doesn’t see any movement in the flat. Thankfully the murder investigation officers secure the arrest of the person suspected to be Ross. The suspect turns out to be Terry Boyle, a man with down syndrome who has been in past seasons of Line of Duty. In those seasons, Terry has been exploited by an organized crime group.

After the arrest, Kate, Chris, and Jo meet up for a debrief. Terry confirmed that his name was Ross, but only after being prompted by Chris. Kate is not sure that somebody with learning disabilities could even execute somebody. Jo agrees that the suspect is not their man if it’s an execution murder, but it’s possible that “Ross” is an obsessed fan who killed Gail out of passion.

Meanwhile, back in AC-12, Farida meets up with Steve to discuss how she thinks that Jo is crooked because she delayed the arrest of Ross. She also believes that a man with down syndrome can’t keep a murder of a high-profile reporter under wraps for over a year. Ted refuses to authorize a formal investigation until Steve finds evidence to back up Farida’s claims.

“Operation Lighthouse” is cleared to interview ” Ross” with his solicitor and an appropriate adult. They learn that his real name is Terry, and he doesn’t live at the Beechwood House flat. Though he does call Gail “a nice lady.”

Kate checks in with the forensic team, who is at Terry’s flat in Dorton Villas. The apartment has been cleaned thoroughly with bleach. However, there are a bunch of press clippings photos of Gail on his kitchen wall. Kate reports back to Jo about how nobody at the Dorton Villas complex knew the man who lived at the flat well and gave a vague description of him that could fit several people. They need the CHIS to confirm that Terry is the suspect, but the police handler refuses to give out his address.

Steve finds out some bizarre facts about the case, like how the robbers have wafer-thin rap sheets. He is frustrated that he can’t get a hold of Farida to fill in the blanks. Meanwhile, Ian drills into Jo for not being able to say Terry is their man. He wants to go home. Jo and Ian may be part of a conspiracy since she mentions something about wanting the case to go a certain way.

On the other hand, Jo could be utterly innocent since she seems genuinely upset when Kate tells her that a mess up in the paperwork calling for direct authority instead of intrusive authority led the surveillance team to stop watching the flat for a while. Meaning that Jo and Kate can’t be sure if Terry was in the flat that whole time or if there was somebody else there who left. However, earlier, Jo did ask Ian for direct, not intrusive, authority.

Later, the team learns the CHIS died, meaning they still can’t be sure of Terry’s guilt or innocence.

Jo and Chris conduct a second interview with Terry to confront him about two significant pieces of evidence. The forensic team found fingerprints of a man named Carl Banks in the flat, but Terry won’t say anything. The other major piece of evidence is that his semen was found on photographs of Gail. Jo and Chris are forced to end the interview when Terry freaks out.

Kate meets up with Steve in his car. He asks Kate if she is willing to be an informant. Kate tells Steve that she has to think about it since she likes her new team. Meanwhile, she tells Steve about finding Carl’s fingerprints. That fact gets him permission from Ted to start a formal investigation into Jo’s misconduct.

The most shocking reveal in episode one is that Jo just broke up with Farida. Is Farida just a jealous lover who wants to punish Jo? Or is Jo a “bent” cop?

apparently someone on reddit got an early copy of radio times and posted their episode guide for the whole of series 10:

1 - The Pilot (Written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Lawrence Gough) "What's the one thing you never see when you look at your reflection?" Meet Bill Potts. She works at St Luke's University, serving chips to students, and nothing ever, ever happens. Then, one day, she finds there's another world beneath the one she knows. A familiar face in a pool of water, and a love that is over before it can begin, will change her life for ever - because this is the day Bill meets the Doctor. 2 - Smile (Written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce and Directed by Lawrence Gough; Guest Star: Ralph Little) "Between here and my office, before the kettle boils, is everything that ever happened, or ever will. Make your choice." In the far future, at the edge of the galaxy, there is a gleaming, perfect city. This brand-new human settlement is said to hold the secret of human happiness - but the only smiles the Doctor and Bill can find are on a pile of grinning skulls. Something is alive in the walls, and the Emojibots are watching from the shadows, as the Doctor and Bill try to unravel a terrifying mystery... 3 - Thin Ice (Written by Sarah Dollard and Directed by Bill Anderson) "So the Tardis has dresses and likes a bit of trouble? I think I'm low-key in love with her." In Regency England, beneath the Frozen Tames, something is stirring. The Doctor and Bill arrive at the last of the great frost fairs and find themselves investigating a string of impossible disappearances - people have been vanishing on the ice! Bill is about to discover that the past is more like her world than she expected, and that not all monsters come from outer space. 4 - Knock Knock (Written by Mike Bartlett and DIrected by Bill Anderson; Guest Star: David Suchet) "Did you hear the trees creaking outside when we arrived?" "Yeah. It was the wind." "There wasn't any wind." Bill is moving in with some friends and they've found the perfect house! So what if it's strangely cheap to rent, and the landlord is a little creepy? The wind blows, the floorboards creak and the Doctor thinks something is very wrong. What lurks in the strange tower at the heart of the building - and why can't they find any way to enter it...? 5 - Oxygen (Written by Jamie Mathieson and Directed by Charles Palmer) "You only see the true face of the universe when it's asking you for help." The Doctor, Bill and Nardole answer a distress call in deep space, and find themselves trapped on board space station Chasm Forge. All but four of the crew have been murdered - and the dead are still walking! In a future where oxygen is sold by the breath, and space suits are valued more highly than their occupants, the Tardis crew battle for survival against the darkest evil of all. 6 - Extremis (Written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Daniel Nettheim; Guest Star: Michelle Gomez) "They read The Veritas - and chose hell." In the Haereticum (the Vatican's secret library of blasphemy) there is an ancient book known only as The Veritas. Throughout history, anyone who has ever read it has immediately taken their own life. Now a new translation is online, and the danger is spreading. The Vatican appeals to the Doctor. Will he read The Veritas? But can even the Doctor survive the ultimate truth? 7 - The Pyramid at the End of the World (Written by Peter Harness and Steven Moffat and Directed by Daniel Nettheim) "Fear is inefficient. We must be loved." A 5,000-year-old pyramid stands at the centre of a war zone, where the Chinese, Russian and American armies are about to clash. There are many problems with that, but the one that intrigues the Doctor is this: there wasn't a pyramid there yesterday. The Doctor, Bill and Nardole face and alien invasion unlike any other - before conquest can begin, these alines need the consent of the human race. 8 - The Lie of the Land (Written by Toby Whithouse and Directed by Wayne Yip) "I'm sorry, Bill, I really wanted to make you see!" "Oh my God, this is real. You're really doing this!" The world is gripped by a mass delusion and only Bill Potts can see the truth. When even the Doctor is fighting on the wrong side, it's up to Bill to convince the Time Lord that humanity is in deadly danger. And if she can't do that, she may just have to kill her best friend. 9 - The Empress of Mars (Written by Mark Gatiss and Directed by Wayne Yip) "It's a simple choice, Iraxxa. The oldest one in the book. We must live together. Or die together." The Doctor, Bill and Nardole arrive on Mars and find themselves in an impossible conflict between Ice Warriors... and Victorian soldiers. As the Martian hive awakes around them, the Doctor faces a unique dilemma - this time the humans, not the Ice Warriors are the invaders. When Earth is invading Mars, whose side is he on? 10 - The Eaters of Light (Written by Rona Munro and Directed by Charles Palmer) "Now you have a choice. You can all keep on slaughtering each other till there's no one left standing, or you can grow the hell up!" A long time ago, the Roman legion of the ninth vanished into the mists of Scotland. Bill has a theory about what happened, and the Doctor has a time machine. But when they arrive in ancient Aberdeenshire, what they find is a far greater threat than any army. In a cairn, on a hillside, is a doorway leading to the end of the world. 11 - World Enough and Time (Written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Rachel Talalay; Guest Star: Michelle Gomez) "My name's Doctor Who." Friendship drives the Doctor into the rashest decision of his life. Trapped on a giant spaceship, caught in the event horizon of a black hole, he witnesses the death of someone he is pledged to protect. Is there any way he can redeem his mistake? Are events already out of control? For once, time is the Time Lord's enemy... 12 - The Doctor Falls (Written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Rachel Talalay; Guest Star: Michelle Gomez) "Without hope, without witness, without reward." The Mondasian Cybermen are on the rise. It's time for the Doctor's final battle...

Reviewed: #DoctorWho Series 10 – Ooh, Banter. It's Good, This. Your Turn!

This is a season 10 review. But probably not the one you were expecting. Actually, it’s two reviews, of sorts – two people, chewing the proverbial fat over Peter Capaldi’s final season as the Twelfth Doctor. We’ve littered it with quotes to make us sound better than we really are, and hope it looks like we have a plan. Just think how unbearable we’re going to be when we pull this off.

The Saint: Simon and Delilah (5.21, ITC, 1967)

"Put a cat among the pigeons and see who flies."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning this is an inside job. Somebody in the studio is behind it."

"Who?"

"I don't know. But you, uh, might spread the word around that I'm suspicious? Do a little snooping. See if you can uncover a few motives."

Out of the Unknown: The Midas Plague (1.12, BBC, 1965)

"You do not seem to understand, Morrey. This is no excuse for your present idleness. We are undergoing a severe economic crisis. The people of this land are being asked to let out their belts, take their shoulders off the wheel. They have to eat more, drink more, drive more cars, wear out more clothes, and generally enjoy themselves more - and work less. This country is over-producing. Our automatic factories, our robots, are making much too much of everything, and it has to be consumed! Want not, Morrey, waste not."
