After all that, DCI Ian Buckells (Nigel Boyle) was the big bad! But maybe a bit less "big" than everyone anticipated. "Yeah right, I'm a blundering fool. I'm only the one who's made total mugs out of you lot," he said. In 2003, when Buckells was only a Detective Constable, he was working on a corrupt team of cops who mishandled the Lawrence Christo...
When beardy Lewis and that other bloke from the OCG turned up at the gun workshop on Ryan's tip-off, what they were really meant to be doing was tearing up the concrete floor and removing the OCG's strongbox. But the police got there first, and shot them both dead. Then, when Kate had the bright idea of using radar to look underground, she struck g...
Ah, Leland and Merchant, Line of Duty's most evil double act. The prison officers from Brentiss Prison are in the pocket of the OCG, and in this episode they were given orders to kill prisoner Jo Davidson ("JD definately high risk. Contact assets in BP"). As Jo was on the Vulnerable Prisoner Unit, with security cameras everywhere and "elevated moni...

As the med...
Just as Ted Hastings was about to storm off to tell DCS Patricia Carmichael (Anna Maxwell Martin) about Buckells being 'H', Steve and Kate decided it was the right moment to confront the gaffer with what they knew. And it took a bit of beating around the bush for him to come clean – but when he did, the air was finally clear between Line of Duty's ...
By working with AC-12 and identifying Fairbank, Jo Davidson secured herself a spot in witness protection (despite the fact that Fairbank wasn't actually the Fourth Man). And in those closing moments, we got a glimpse of her outrageously idyllic new life. Cosy jumper! Large, rustic cottage! Good-looking girlfriend! Golden retriever! She certainly go...
Buckells might be locked away, and Darren Hunter might be under investigation for the murder of Lawrence Christopher – but it's hardly a triumphant end to season six for AC-12. Ted is retired, even if he means to contest it; the process to merge and cut back on AC-3, AC-9 and AC-12 is still underway; close colleagues of the Chief Constable have bee...
