Martin Compston has teased the return of Line of Duty, saying he is sure there will be another series “if there’s still a story to be told”. The Scottish actor, who plays Steve Arnott in the hit BBC programme, appeared alongside his co-star Vicky McClure, who plays Kate Fleming, on Good Morning Britain ahead of Sunday’s Soccer Aid charity event.
The sixth series of the police drama, which aired from March to May in 2021, was a ratings success, with its dramatic finale revealing the identity of the mysterious corrupt officer H. Compston recently prompted speculation among fans when he posted a photo of himself having dinner with co-stars McClure and Adrian Dunbar and show creator Jed Mercurio, captioning the image ‘Talking tattoo designs’.
He told GMB: “We did say if we ever got 12 million (viewers) we would get tattoos of ‘AC-12 million’. If we ever do another series I think it will be something we all do together then.” Asked whether there was another series in the works, McClure said: “Nothing’s planned as yet – we just went out for a nice meal.
