I remember Steve lying to him in S1 and he storms off and says "Doctor told me to watch my blood pressure!" XD Always loved that one.

[@itsthezainali]

I think it was S2? When Steve snuck out after something & he was under police protection that he didn’t know about

[@unbeatablesniper16]

@@itsthezainali no its when he spoke to the wife of the officer they're investigating without Ted's knowledge. Ted questioned Steve and he lied and pissed Ted off.

[@CHIS-pv5ls]

I actually think that was in S1 when Steve arranged to meet Tony Gates at midnight after he went AWOL after he saved Steve from being tortured. Ted had some officers watching his flat for his own protection, who saw Steve entering after midnight. Knowing this information, Ted then asked Steve the next day if he had a good nights sleep. Steve obviously lied (as he wouldn't want Hastings knowing who he had seen) which made Ted a little angry...

[@SydMountaineer]

Best comment here!

[@SydMountaineer]

I love the character Ted, and being that Adrian Dunbar is able to understand the character so well, he surely must have similar qualities, at least I love to believe that - in the world we live in today, people like Ted are too rare. Ted is someone who has integrity and humility, he's the down-to-earth boss we've all wished we had, and AC 12 is the team we all wish we could be a part of, this is one of the most important aspects of successful tv shows - we all want to be a part of a family or team like that. Ted's quotes remind me of my grandparents, even though they were born here in the U.S., my grandmother's ancestors are Scots-Irish, and she used to say the exact phrases and others that were similar. And my grandfather's family is from England & Ireland, and things he said were very similar, too, he always used the word, "Fella".

[@pliny8308]

I'm American, not of Irish descent, but around his age, taught by an order of Irish nuns, went to school with a lot of Irish descent kids and I say "Mother of God" and "Jesus, Mary and Joseph" all the time. :) Sometimes I also say "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and all the saints", too! When my children were young, "God give me strength" was coming out of my mouth constantly!

[@mikestubbs1708]

Who else can’t wait for Sunday? Is H Carrmichael?? What do you think?

I don't think so, it has to be one of those trio either Kate, Steve Arnott or Ted Hastings.

[@dynamo1726]

It is defo not one of the trio

[@t1n4444]

At a guess it's got to be a bent copper ... My guess is that wizened old crone senior officer woman who never leaves her office. Almost certainly she is what's her name's aunty and sister and mother and grandmother. And was rubbish at spelling. A certain sign of incest. Without doubt it couldn't be anyone else at all. Or it's that senior copper with the peaked cap who just talks to the press and never sits down ... definitely him, without any doubt at all. He is rubbish at spelling too. Or it's the head of '12 who has bribed the scriptwriter into keeping him on the show to increase his pension pot in real life ... it's definitely him without a shadow of a doubt. Plus I have a suspicion about how good he is at spelling. Or ...

[@InternationalNewz_]

@Elon Well many would disagree now that Craig Parkinson (Dot cotton) put a comment in saying ''If you've been emotionally attached to the Trio and have been with them since season 1, then be prepared''. I mean it has to be one of them, Jed (the writer) wouldn't want people like Chief Osbourne and that being arrested and leaving the Trio untouched.

Writing this 9 hours before the episode begins. I reckon that with Ted due to retire, he is going to go out with guns blazing and will take down H but then be shot and killed in the line of duty. It will be a tearful farewell to our favourite character but he will take a place of honour in the memories of all fans.
