Line of Duty's Martin Compston leads another hilarious spoof cast interrogation of Boris Johnson

Line of Duty's Martin Compston, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar interrogate Boris over his latest gaffes in another spoof video from activist group Led By Donkeys.

Martin and the AC-12 team spare no blushes as they go for the jugular in a seven-minute long video which has now gone viral online.

The video uses edited clips of the real show interspersed with separate clips of Boris and new voiceovers to make it seem as if the PM is actually in an episode of the hit cop drama.

And Boris is very much the bad guy in the clip as he is subjected to an intense grilling following news that he will be fined alongside wife Carrie Johnson and Rishi Sunak for the 'Partygate' scandal,

The clip, which is the third of its kind, was tweeted by writer Jed Mercurio and looks at other 'misdemeanours' by Boris, who hangs his head in shame throughout the clip as he mumbles away.

DI Arnott (Compston), DSI Hastings (Dunbar) and DI Fleming (McClure) are waiting as DI Arnott introduces him with his full title of Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.

DI Fleming begins: "We’ve been asked to review your case, the case of a Prime Minister who has broken the law."

DI Arnott adds: "A law you created. A law you made the whole country abide by."

DSI Hastings also chips in: "Too many of our institutions are failing the British public by turning a blind eye to your wrongdoing, but not us, fella.

"We will uphold standards without fear or favour.’

The gold wallpaper for the Downing Street renovations and lockdown rule breaking as well as the partying are all mentioned in "Operation: Rotting Fish"

After Boris is told he's 'as bent as a nine bob' note, and overseas trade missions are mentioned, Boris is told by DSI Hastings: "You are finished here, Prime Minister. You are finished with lying to us, and that’s only the start of it.

"Christ knows what criminal charges you’re going to end up facing, you have put the knife through the heart of everything we aspire to be as a nation and we won’t bear it, we won’t bare it a day longer.

"We will not be corrupted by you."

The PM shakes his head.

Online viewers branded it genius with some saying they were upset by it adding: "I began watching this with humour and tbh felt emotionally depleted by the end. Powerful."
