Lime Of Duty Series 3 Last Episode.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER


I have just watched series 3 again and the same thing puzzles me now as it did the first time.
After Steve has been arrested and the net is closing in on Dot Cotton - Hastings rings Dot at home and asks him to come in for questioning.
Dot arrives and gets out of the lift with two police - one of whom is armed with some sort of huge rifle thing - and the police take up position outside the interview room.
I'm wondering why they were there - heavily armed or indeed at all ? Hastings didn't request this as far as I know.
I've missed something along the way.
Series 3 particularly good I thought.

In the show AC police are often shown to be armed as usual procedure. Having that in the show meant that, in this case, the bent coppers could help Dot make his exit.

Didn’t he have his own bent copper on standby to bake him out.
It’s the end of series 5 that has always puzzled me: the sudden switch from H to “4” - 4 dots being Morse code for H.
But if there is no connection between the two why mention Morse code?
And was the scene with the dying Cottan refilmed for the purpose?

Chelle - yes I guess that's thvbreason but a bit over the top for Dot who usually came and went ad he pleased .
Ichkeria - I agree there is much confusion there - going to work my way through S4 first.
It's really good though watching again.

Sorry I shouldn’t have mentioned Series 5!

[chelle7272]

yes sorry if I wasn't clear, they were there to break Dot out if needed, as he knew the net was closing as you say.
Series 3 one of the best :)

Lime Of Duty ... LOL. Where all the lead roles are played by citrus fruits.
