Line Of Duty star Martin Compston admits that he would ‘like to pull his waistcoat out again’ as he hints at a potential new series of the BBC show
As a devoted fan of gripping police dramas, I have eagerly devoured each episode of Line of Duty like a juicy morsel, relishing every twist and turn. And now, the tantalizing prospect of another series has me practically dancing with glee!
The news that the show’s stars have reunited to discuss details for Series 7 has sent my excitement levels soaring. I can almost hear the familiar strains of “Ghost Writer” as Superintendent Ted Hastings and his team take on a new case, their dogged determination and unwavering integrity shining through.
With Adrian Dunbar’s witty one-liners, Vicky McClure’s steely resolve, and Martin Compston‘s quick wit, the show has become more than just a crime drama – it’s a testament to the power of camaraderie and perseverance in the face of adversity.
And let’s not forget about the mastermind behind it all, Jed Mercurio, whose writing skills are nothing short of genius. He has created a world that is as addictive as it is compelling.
So here’s to hoping that this reunion means we’ll be seeing our beloved anti-corruption officers back on our screens in the not-too-distant future. And if I were a betting woman (which I am, just ask my bookie), I’d put good money on them catching more bent coppers than ever before!
Oh, and as for a joke? Well, let’s just say that I can’t wait to see Superintendent Hastings’ face when he finds out that the next series is going to be set in the wild west. “Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey,” indeed!
Martin Compston has spoken about the potential for a new season of Line of Duty, hinting that he would be eager to don his waistcoat once more.
The 40-year-old Scottish actor was the lead in the BBC police series that ended its run in 2021, following nearly a decade of airtime. Fans can’t wait for another installment to return.
During an interview with The Times, Martin alluded to some good news for viewers, suggesting that they might just get lucky.
He concluded that since he himself is occupied next year and both Vicky and Adrian are also extremely busy, if Jed has a story to share, he’ll likely approach us instead.
As soon as any updates come along, we’ll make sure to share them with you. At the moment, however, there’s no new information available. I’m looking forward to dusting off my vest once more.
Martin quipped, “I’d love to wear a vest, but I can’t at the moment; it feels like slipping into Steve’s role.
In a recent episode of The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, the actor who portrayed Detective Inspector Steve Arnott over six seasons of Line of Duty from 2012 to 2021 made an appearance.
In a casual and clear manner, let me rephrase that for you: The host, aged 50, posed the question everyone was curious about, inquiring if it would make another appearance anytime soon.
Throwing another hint, Martin replied: ‘I love that people ask and the love that people have.
Day after day, my heart skips a beat whenever someone brings up the topic I adore so much. But I’ve learned not to let my enthusiasm mislead others, as it can stir unnecessary excitement. When the conversations about it gradually cease, it will undoubtedly be a melancholic moment for me.
He mentioned, “We don’t have any immediate plans. However, there might be a chance for another one down the line, but we’ll all be occupied with different projects next year.
Chris joked: ‘Well stop working on other stuff, stop being so selfish.’
Despite there being nothing set in stone, Martin seems to be hopeful about the future.
Later on, Martin admitted, “I am optimistic and confident that we will tackle this eventually, but when the time comes for us to act, it will be us who inform you first.
‘We’d be delighted to tell people!’
Just last month Martin’s co-star Adrian Dunbar appeared to ‘confirm’ the show’s return.
From the onset of the show, the 66-year-old Irish actor graced our screens as Superintendent Ted Hastings in Line of Duty.
He shared some amusing phrases spoken by his character on the program, like “Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the little donkey” and “The only thing I care about is nabbing corrupt cops.
In a chat with Virgin Radio UK, I shared a piece of advice that resonates particularly well with the Irish spirit: “Never delay progress by saying ‘Don’t stop the digger.'” This phrase emphasizes the importance of keeping momentum and not letting obstacles hinder our forward motion.
It’s quite impressive, isn’t it? Essentially, it’s like saying, ‘You need to persist,’ and that’s what we can expect for the upcoming season.
Not only that, he also explained that Jed Mercurio has been working on it.
He added to the radio host: ‘He is writing… We haven’t got a script on the desk yet.
It appears that Dr. Mercurio is engaged in some activity, while Jed is busy with writing. However, the exact timing of these events remains uncertain.
In November, it was said that the main cast members met up again three years following the less-than-satisfying end of the popular BBC series, to discuss and finalize plans for a brand new season.
Last week, it appears that Vicky McClure, Martin Compston, and Adrian Dunbar dined with the show’s creator, Jed Mercurio, and from what we gather, they discussed the possibility of a seventh season during their meal together.
Originally, the trio – portraying characters DC Kate Fleming, DS Steve Arnott, and Supt Ted Hastings in a show focused on tough anti-corruption work – found it challenging to agree on a fresh project due to scheduling conflicts.
As reported by The Sun, the group frequently got together for meals following the completion of the sixth season’s filming, but this marks their initial conversation about potentially reprising the popular series.
According to a source, Jed has a tight-knit group of friends that includes Vicky, Martin, and Adrian. On most occasions, they gather for dinner, but on this particular occasion, things took an unusual turn.
Discussing their plans, they talked about synchronizing their calendars for the year 2025, aiming to make sure that Line of Duty season 7 gets produced. Their goal is to initiate filming as soon as possible in the coming year, with a release date set for early 2026.
