Mother. Of. God.
Before it aired, episode four of the sixth season was hyped as the best Line of Duty episode since the show first hit our screens in 2012. Martin Compston said if we deliver it has the potential to be a classic. And boy, did they deliver. A shootout with the OCG, Steve pulling off a shot most Call of Duty addicts would be proud of, a murder in prison, Ryan putting a gun to Jo s head, and a big fucking cliffhanger at the end.

Focusing on the very end of the episode, which had thousands of viewers rewinding their televisions to see who the photograph on the piece of paper was (it s Jo Davidson, as if they would leave the big reveal there in the age of pausing TV), all the discussion in the aftermath surrounds who this mystery relative of Jo Davidson could be.
There was also the volcanic ash cloud in Iceland, the Chilean miners rescue and the EU-IMF bailout, all of which should make for a packed episode.
JOE had the opportunity to speak to the show s producer John O Regan, who would neither confirm nor deny whether this man slipping on the ice on the Six One News will make an appearance.
He did reveal, however, that later episodes of this season will look back on former US President Barack Obama and the Queen s visits to Ireland, Ireland s marriage referendum, Brexit, Donald Trump s election as US President and lots, lots more.
Safe to say it was a busy and somewhat tumultuous decade.
