Line of Duty: Martin Compston on being 'mistaken for terrorists' while filming in Belfast

One of the stars of Line of Duty has spoken about being "mistaken for terrorists" while filming a scene in Belfast.

Appearing on the latest episode of local comedian Shane Todd's 'Tea With Me' podcast, Martin Compston said spoke about how he feared he and co-star Stephen Graham risked being mistaken for terrorists or armed robbers during one scene.

The 38-year-old, who played Detective Inspector Steve Arnott in the hit BBC series, said they sat in a car wearing balaclavas, when a resident knocked their window and alerted them to a squad of police waiting for them up the road.
