Line of Duty fans have declared they were left feeling 'like suspects' as the show aired a thoroughly intense interrogation scene on Sunday.
After last weekend's episode left us all waiting a week to find out who died and who survived in the shoot out, millions tuned in to discover that * SPOILER ALERT* PC Ryan Pilkington had died as a result of two gun shot wounds.
As AC-12, led by no nonsense Hastings, and Carmichael descended on the scene, Kate Fleming and Jo Davidson were nowhere to be seen.
The pair were eventually found, with an increasingly slippery Carmichael revealing to a furious Hastings, that tracking devices had been placed on AC-12 vehicles, and were promptly arrested.
Already massively under suspicion Davidson was first into the interview room and she did NOT get an easy ride, with a near half hour interrogation playing out in its entirety as fans held their breaths to see what revelations would materialise.
The biggest bombshell was one dropped on Davidson, with the news that notorious crime boss Tommy Hunter was in fact not just her uncle, but her dad!
Carmichael many viewers tip to be H, had Davidson on the ropes from the get-go, determined to get answers on who shot Pilkington and rubbishing the mysterious DCI's account of events that it was her that killed him and not Kate.
The result of the brutal line of questioning, which also saw Davidson admitting to planting the burner phones rather than Farida Jatri and was 'in' on the decoy robbery, was the DCI being remanded in custody, with the final scenes seeing the prison door slammed on her as viewers could finally catch their breath after being thoroughly glued to, not just the half hour interrogation, but the whole 60 minutes.
One tweeted: "i feel like i am in the room for this interrogation it’s that intense," and, feeling equally up a height, another reacted: "Anyone else try not to cry during that interview with Jo Davidson?"
A third posted: "Bloody hell that was tense! What an episode! That interview scene was epic!" and plenty of others were full of praise for Jed Mercurio for taking a leap of faith by having such a long interrogation.
One huge fan commented: "As always, I see so many tweets about how the interview scenes are ‘boring’ or that we’ve all been ‘robbed of an episode’.
"In my humble opinion, those have been some the best acted moments on the BBC over the last ten years or so. Quit moaning and get on board!
