Hello everyone and welcome back. Firstly, I would like to thank Jack Seale for being such a great stand-in for me last week when I was unfortunately not well enough to watch the show’s most controversial early episode.

Hopefully we have all recovered from that ending and so it’s on to episode three, which sees Keeley Hawes’s Zoe step into the spotlight as she finds herself caught up in a hostage situation when a group of Kurds take over the Turkish embassy. But is everything quite as it seems?

More importantly, for Line of Duty fans at least, is the first sighting of the much-beloved “Steely Keeley” glare? Join me in the comments to find out and remember that, as always, every last bit of speculation is welcome but no spoilers please …

• Get ready to hit play at 7pm BST (on BBC iPlayer in the UK, and Britbox in the US, where the show is called MI-5)
