Will there be a three-peat?

WILL we see all of the terrific trio – (super) Ted, (clever) Kate and (tenacious) Steve – back next year? Martin Compston said recently “it’ll be heartbreaking, but one of us is likely to go at some point”, so maybe they’re all in on the biggest shock of all, the brutal despatch of an AC-12 boss? With Kate’s undercover role rumbled – again – might she succumb to a surprise attack? Happily it wasn’t the stairway to heaven for Steve, but can he get back on his feet – and find some snazzy new waistcoats?

And will Ted successfully negotiate the rotten police power play to deliver another: “Now listen, fella!”
