A Line Of Duty Spelling Mistake Has Got Everyone Talking

"The most monstrous thing H has done is not being able to spell definitely."

Watching Line Of Duty is the perfect way to end the week, but trying to figure out the clues is even better (you can see our efforts here).

This is perhaps why a small spelling mistake has caused such a fuss, as fans have scrambled to chat about whether a message in the show is a big hint.

Sunday’s episode saw officer John Corbett (Stephen Graham), who is deep undercover as a baddie, communicating with mysterious crime boss H.

As viewers were given a glimpse at the pair’s correspondence, we could see a message that said: “Eastfield depot is definately high risk.”

Definately? Hmm.

I think the most monstrous thing H has done, is not being able to spell ‘definitely’ #LineOfDuty #Spelling pic.twitter.com/cFlxzZ0oGL

Fans soon pondered whether it was a deliberate error.

Surely the BBC wouldn’t let a spelling mistake slip through the net on one of their biggest shows?

Tonight’s #LineOfDuty was THE MOST TENSE THING EVER but that spelling error must be the clue, right?! #definitelydefinately

Hastings can’t be H cos I refuse to believe the man who conducts himself to the LETTER OF THE LAW can’t spell ‘definitely’ #LineOfDuty

I feel the spelling of “definately” is going to be a crucial piece of evidence. #LineOfDuty

Was that spelling mistake a clue? #definately #definitely #LineOfDuty

Episode three of Line of Duty included a number of significant turning points, as the organised crime group carried out a heist that exposed a corrupt high-ranking officer.

But the hunt for ‘H’ is still very much on as Superintendent Ted Hastings’ suspicious behaviour continued, while the writing also looked to be on the wall for DS Arnott (again).
