byslantedlightAck - I'm late! And for Involvement! I'm gonna miss the beginning!
Oh, and such a beginning, Doyle all woolly-jumpered and tweedy (who says Doyle doesn't feel the cold?!), Bodie all menacing...
...and that leap of Doyle's over the railings as they race after Conroy! Love that Bodie sort of waits for Doyle to catch up, and that when they get into the building they do their tap-to-show-the-plan thing... Bodie still looking after Doyle for a moment as he heads upstairs...
And eeep! But Bodie saves Doyle with a well-yelled Look out!...
Credits... *g*
Ooh, Bodie's so cross that Doyle was nearly shot that he shouts at Cowley! He gets a smile from Doyle for it, and oh Doyle's "Oi - see you later..." and the mischievous smile on Bodie's face... We know it's anticipation, and the promise of the night to come... *g*
Doyle heads back into the flats to continue mopping up - Cowley didn't offer him a lift, so I presume he's been detailled to do this *g* - and there's a very cross Ann Holly at the door. Doyle is being terribly pushy - I think I'd be as peeved as she is too, to be honest! She's doing quite good shock actually... Hee - I like to see Doyle kept in his place a bit, mind... That's what Bodie does that's so... ohhhhh! That explains alot of things about this ep!
Ah, but Bodie's still peeved with Cowley as they drive off to HQ... he's all dark and brooding still there too!
Doyle's still being grumpy to her about the fact that Ann Holly didn't like watching someone be shot in front of her - can you imagine how he'd be hammered if that was his attitude today! Actually I'm kind of surprised that even then she was left to her own devices - though I suppose she wasn't, since Doyle's there...
Cowley and Bodie... Bodie still thinking of Doyle - "He's the one with the Italian connections..." and then phew - Doyle and Bodie together again in the car! Interesting attitude to women coming out here though - and oh no, Bodie says "Be a challenge anyway..."
Hee - geeky Doyle doing an Italian accent to get Tony's attention on the street - "Hey - Tony!"
Tony's not clever enough for Doyle though - love the phone box thing! And loyal Bodie, all ready to chase after Tony until Doyle says no...
Oh, and Benny's been beaten up... the look on Doyle's face... there really is such a feeling of loyalty from Bodie throughout this - he's right there with Doyle as soon as he shouts, there at the hospital waiting, wanting to take Doyle out and get him some "female company" because he thinks that's what'll help... But then he looks so... wary? Impatient? Something when Doyle refuses...
...when Doyle looks like this...Sort of tired he looks - worn by it all...
But oh, maybe that was what planted it in Doyle's mind - instead of going home as he said he wanted, he's gone back to find Ann Holly after all... Doyle being very up front with her again - I'm sure we've seen him be gentler with other women before now... And it's sort of joke-y, but it's quite sarcastic too, the way he invites her to dinner... although who could resist him looking like that?
Oh, I like Doyle's front door, lovely glass! Oh, and... oh, I thought that was an easel with perhaps something that he's painting, but it's a weirdly-placed noticeboard with a poster on it!
Hmmn - Ann Holly doesn't reject the chaff and tell it that it's no good at writing and so they don't want to publish them? Isn't that a kind of destruction of people's hopes? I mean, I know what she means, but...
Some odd intonations from Doyle tonight though - "Oh yeah, pretty girls always welcome here." is said very strangely... aggressive-defensive, perhaps? About something completely not related to Ann Holly (bet you know where I'm going with that one... *g*)
Oh, and here's Cowley at Doyle's door again... Aww... tear-y eyed Doyle... he's not crying though - no tear-tracks down his cheeks or anything...
Bodie's waiting in the car again - and all amused that Doyle's there with a girl after all... Lovely to see him laugh though, and looking... so amused!
Doyle being odd with Ann Holly again - bit sniffy and nearly-teary again, but he takes Ann Holly to a disco instead, and dances really badly with her...
Next day - back on the job... Hurtling vans and squealing tyres, and chases over piles of rubbish bags. Doyle very aggressive again - he is when he's fighting - "Come on sunshine - Do yourself a favour, I'll break your arm!" And he switches back to be all friendly once he's got Marley where he wants him - "I'm sorry about that" he says with a grin! And then he yanks him around the back of the van by the collar! Now that is rather frightening... *g*
Doyle says to Bodie "You know Tony..." - so Bodie is familiar with some of the people that Doyle knows on the streets.
Hmmn - Doyle didn't want Bodie to know about Ann. Hee though - for his grin when Bodie points out that he "gets that little twinkle when he scores"... *g*
Oh, and the lovely Bodie-calling-for-Doyle scene! Doyle's got another wrought iron staircase... he has quirky flats - it's got to be partly his taste, can't be coincidence that, so surely they must have some say in where they're going to be housed! And Bodie seems to have the high-ceilinged Victorian flats, doesn't he... Touching! Bodie's turn to give Doyle a tap on the arm!
Ohhhhh - but what Doyle says - "You've never met a girl like Ann - yet..." - No! Nonononono! Bodie's face...
Ah - is that Murphy driving along, looking for Tony? No! It's just another bloke in a poloneck and jacket! But people were definitely saying that he's in Involvement...
Doyle's met Ann for lunch? Gorgeous autumn day... Oh, see the way Ann's distancing herself from him - that outstretched arm, keeping him away... Doyle's all pleased when she says she doesn't know about taking up the job offer - and he latches on to the idea that she wants to be needed very quickly...
The lads've got a code for when it's serious and they've got to go... and on a very shallow note, that white cardi and those dark jeans really work together, don't they... *g*
Wait - that's so not Murphy... well, it doesn't look like him to me...
Bodie's still got some of that nasty attitude... "Didn't get that from honest toil" he suggests about the black guy with the fancy car...
Oh, and they've caught Tony... Love that Bodie just gives up and punches him! Doyle is a bit peeved... He knows Tony was involved in Benny's death... And they're doing the threatening double act thing...
Oh, the car scene... Bodie all wanting to know what's going on with Doyle - oh no, Bodie don't say it, not when Doyle's all wound up over Benny and Tony... oh, but he does, and Doyle in response threatens to marry Ann Holly...
Erk - Bodie dobs Doyle into Cowley... Convinces himself that Doyle's not serious about it all, but he sics Cowley onto him anyway...
Ha - "Not ever likely to affect you, is it?"... We know why... *g*
Doyle's cooked again - soup by the looks! No... something... erm... Not sure! Soup with dumplings?!
Bodie being all friendly to the priest - heee - Mr Cowley he's called himself! Love the Camera In A Box that he hides in the bushes! Such subtlety! *g* But he is looking rather fab against that autumn-blue sky...
Doyle cooking for the third time in the ep... Hee - my favourite "Come on in, darling, the door's open!" - "Anything you say, sweetheart!"... Oooh - "The only fault I can find in her though" - how looking for a reaction is that?! Doyle watching Bodie ever so closely, no reaction from Bodie...
Outwardly all friendly and jovial with each other - sounds like Doyle's not seen Bodie for a while, he asks how he's been, what he's been doing... has Doyle had some time off or something then? And there's a sort of desperation to Bodie here too - he's almost... almost manic with being jovial, and Doyle looks a bit shell-shocked by it at the end...
Lol - is Kirsty a secretary? No reason to assume that she is, when we know that Cowley has various agents helping him out... Ah, and there's the guy from outside Tony's block of flats - visiting Ann Holly's father...
Doyle's mad with Bodie - Brummie accent coming out there... Doyle doesn't want it all going wrong, there's a touch of desperation there... and Bodie's sussed out "the Christmas Man"...
Doyle's suspended, Bodie's... oh, the expression on Bodie's face as Doyle dumps his ID nad weapon...
Bodie on stakeout in the car with the not-Murphy agent... or is it Murphy?! Bloody 'ell... I can't tell! He's got some cute lines though - like his attitude! Oh gawd, would it be too bad of me to say that he's got way too much character to be Murphy? *ducks*
Bodie looking rather lovely in his black leather in the projector room... Oh, but he steps in to stop Cowley doing something more serious about Doyle's interference... and the passion between our lads as they fight...
And the look on Doyle's face as he turns to Bodie at the end...
Oh, Doyle and Ann all cosy on the couch - that's wrong! Luckily Ann comes back and catches him snooping...
Bodie looking cheerful again as goes in to talk to Cowley - and gaargh, "the spade - the black gentleman"... Bodie!
?Murphy off on the chase - doesn't do very well though...
Ann showing Doyle the family pics - only it turns out to be better for CI5, worse for her that she did..
Bodie's alot more confident with Cowley these days - in Acorn Syndrome he hushed him and spoke over him when he sussed out the key thing, now he's called for maps, and is testing out theories and so on that Cowley's not thought of...
Oh, and Doyle appears after all - knows the truth about the connection between Conroy and Holly now...
Ah - Bodie asleep, Doyle being mean to him... but just... together over that car door... Can't be that early in the morning, mind, if the trees are that autumny - it doesn't get that light until later on!
And then drinking tea over the top of the car...
Hee - two dinky jeeps - some lovely sideways driving from Doyle... and the black guy was a baddie which I wish he hadn't been. Drive home Bodie's racist stereotyping, much?
A fabulous chase by Doyle - all leaps and bounds and even rolls!
Lonely shot of his flat though, as the phone rings...
Altercation in the corridor with one of the baddies, who's bundled away by ?Murphy et al - love that the lads sort of half-turn-around, and... ohhhhh - maybe that's what explains how Ann gets into the building - the blokes that would have stopped her are occupied in watching over the aggressive
Ann is caught - Doyle goes chasing after her - Bodie's stopped from following him...
Oh, and it's all going wrong for our Ray... "You're exactly what you are..." - which he is, and he chose it, but it doesn't make it hurt any less... especially when that's not what's actually hurting.... (*g*)
Aww... and the lovely end scene... Doyle throws off Bodie's arm, and oh - I've never noticed ths before, but Bodie holds his arms out in appeal... and Doyle does stop, and lets Bodie catch up, and then he puts his arm around Bodie and they walk off together... I mean - that's just the scene that explains all the weirdness of the ep for me, that explains the unnaturalness of Doyle's attitude with Ann at first, and the wild passion between him and Bodie that comes out as anger, and... The thing with Ann didn't work because it wasn't nearly as right and natural as thing thing Doyle has with Bodie - and in the end he has to acknowledge that...
Oh, just... ohhhh... *g*
And it wasn't Murphy! *eyes all the peeps at Safehouse who said Murphy was in Involvement - he wasn't! It was Turner! Agent 7.1!
And now it's that knackered time of night again - although at least I don't have to get up at quarter to six to beat the traffic tomorrow - yeay! *g*
Oh, and such a beginning, Doyle all woolly-jumpered and tweedy (who says Doyle doesn't feel the cold?!), Bodie all menacing...
...and that leap of Doyle's over the railings as they race after Conroy! Love that Bodie sort of waits for Doyle to catch up, and that when they get into the building they do their tap-to-show-the-plan thing... Bodie still looking after Doyle for a moment as he heads upstairs...
And eeep! But Bodie saves Doyle with a well-yelled Look out!...
