SERIES 6 SPOILER
<spoiler>Just wait until series 6...........we will be wishing Ryan had disappeared back then like a rat up a drain pipe after he tried to cut off Steve's fingers with a bolt cutter! Yeah, nice kiddie.
It's amazing that this show has been going on SO long, that a wee gobshite from the first series can end up a grown young man who is now a copper! Nice one, Jed....
He's the New Dot Cotton!</spoiler>
HA!
Yes, loved that it also is in SERIES 6 currently playing.
<spoiler>Four blinks of Arnott's car lights to alert Kate to come over to his car.
Four blinks is H in Morse Code.</spoiler>
I love how Mercurio messes with people's heads to see how many things like that folks can pick up along the way.
Yes, things are really coming full circle now in Series 6, with harking back to many of the characters we met in Series 1.
Me thinks this is not just a plot device to let us see Mercurio's macro take on corruption from top to bottom and inside out, but a thinly veiled "conspiracy" of his own and the BBC's to get folks to find series 1 to 5 and watch them all OVER again on the sub services! haha
And poof!
It's TEN years now!!!!!!!
OMG.
"Truth or Dare" had a few opportunities for gawping at the undergarments, especially since the women took a lot of them off in the empty cabin and draped them over the seats while they drank cocktails and got soused.
Ted Vanderway certainly noticed, the randy sod that he was. :-)))
So it appears there IS a new Manifest coming to a telly near you this year.
Worries all for naught, ha!
And are we EVER going to find out what happened all those missing years or, given the direction of the plots now, did they actually FORGET everybody disappeared for years? Haha!
I swear............just a hint this season? Come on.
OOoooooo yes! Juicy territory for those crazy '30s.
A lot going on too in the aristo world then. Without even getting TOO political, there would be the aristos who were into strong appeasement actions in secret, etc. The Wallis/King Edward VIII fiasco.
Loads to do with a new film even if they just stay in the 30s.
Hope springs.
Thank you for that! (Sorry for the late reply, I don't check here often enough, ha).
That makes sense then. It always seemed off that Haller never even got a mention in any of the Bosch tv series moments.
Now I know why!
Best to her! I just caught on YT an old 2002 tv series she did called "Murder" that someone kindly loaded up and made available.
Thought I'd also seen everything of hers but apparently not.
She was her usual specatular self in it as a grieving mother of a murdered son.
It was about 300 minutes, so a long one by Abi Morgan, a great writer. But worth it---what a cast! David Morrisey, Imelda Staunton, William Ash, Robert Glenister, Om Puri....and more! A real who's who.
As for the murderer.....the Plod shoulda known! Apparently, the cop shop all needed to go to Specsavers...........
Yes! I said this the other day to a friend who was looking for something "old" to watch and I suggested this ground breaking show.
We both remembered people coming to work on Monday mornings after it aired on PBS in America and it's all anybody could talk about. Did George do it? Was he innocent? haha
There had never been anything like it before and we knew it at the time. That was back when the term ground breaking tv meant something.
I was a fan of The Gentle Touch and some used to say it was the 'first' but Jane Tennison really was the first female detective inspector in a realistic setting. TGT was just a little too old fashioned dressed up....
And being written by Lynda La Plante set it apart too. I remember seeing her interview with the inspector upon which she based the Tennison character--the first in real life. She incorporated many of the woman's personal experiences in the show and dialogue and scenes with the men in the squad room.
Yes, they dispatched 'im Indoors very quickly for poor Jackie! My guess is the consensus in the writers' room was that she was more interesting to write for as a divorced or single character and once married they did not know what to do with her plot wise, ha.
They did mention her husband again when there was an episode in which a murder suspect character had cancer and it was brought up how her husband had died of cancer at one time, because the murder suspect was very manipulative and tried to use that info against her if I recall.
Then it got a mention again in passing in one of the 20-something series episodes when she is catching up with an old flame and her divorce and the death of her ex-husband was discussed. But only briefly.
And to confuse things even more, the one facade that was stone on a hill was also the building where Sea of Souls had their offices at the university, haha.
Same exterior exactly.
Yes, Taggart dies off screen of a heart attack and they handled it that way, because he actually died suddenly of pneumonia right in the middle of filming the episode. So they had to finish it and deal with it in real life in the filming of it.
One of the saddest scenes for Jardine's death was when Jackie went to the location he was found....and had a moment when she had to see his body there and her emotions were very moving when she was with her friend.
Yes, good catch. A very close match to the US Statue of Liberty on the Glasgow government building. And in Glasgow, there is actually more than one of them....a few buildings sport The Lady.
The small one in Paris is identical to the US big one of course, since it came from France....
Most definitely give the first three Taggarts a try. I saw them when they were first aired and they are literally legendary. Mark IS Taggart and always was. The latter casts did their best but Mark was the real deal, ha.
For those interested in such things, Watching Taggart from episode 1 through the final one 10 years ago, is a almost an historical time-lapse look at Glasgow the city for a time period of 30 years. From blackened crumble to a vista of modern architecture and scrubbed up stone Victorian beauties that have once again become beautiful gems.
Seeing Mark drive down the early '80s Glasgow streets with the old, run down Victorian buildings blackened from a centuries of coal fires with their boarded up windows and doors is a reminder of what it was like back then. Now (pre-virus anyway) those same buildings were rehabbed beautifully and filled with the most fashionable shops and eateries.
Even the Gorbals looks good now! ha
As Taggart used to call it........"Mah grrreeeeen cit-tay..." when only someone who loved his city could have said such a thing about that run down coal dust ground-in crumble it was when Taggart first aired.
