Martin Compston and Vicky McClure have teased that Line of Duty could make a comeback.
The actors appeared on Good Morning Britain today ahead of Sunday’s Soccer Aid which they are both taking part in. While on the ITV talk show, they addressed the recent Instagram picture of them out for dinner with Line of Duty co-star Adrian Dunbar and writer Jed Mercurio, which sent fans of the show into a frenzy.
They hinted to Kate Garraway and Ben Shepherd that they would be up for a new series of the BBC drama - so they can give the show the send off party it properly deserves.

Martin said: “We did say if we ever got 12 million we’d get tattoos AC12 million but we haven’t got it yet. If we ever do another series I think it’ll be something we all do together then.”
Kate took it as a hint for the future of the show, as she asked: “So are you then, doing another series?” Vicky said: “Nothing’s planned as yet - we just went out for a nice meal."
The presenter said: "Teases the lot of you!” Vicky replied: "No I’m telling the truth. Nothing planned and set in stone. Like Martin said before, we always have a long break in between series so it’s not really too abnormal to what we normally do.”
Martin added: “We’re chuffed that people still want us to come back. We’ve done ten years now, and the fact that people still want to see the show is amazing and if there’s still a story to be told, I’m sure Jed will bring us back.”
Vicky said: “We adore working with each other. Jed’s writing is phenomenal. We’ve been working together for ten years now and the last series was incredible in terms of the response that we got. It was really quite tough to shoot because it was in covid so it would be lovely to go back and not end that kind of way.”
“For a sociable night out, it’s not a reason to recommission a series, but it’s such a sociable job in terms of the crew and all us hanging out,” said Martin. “I think we were the first job back over covid and we couldn’t see each other, hang out at night we couldn’t do anything - it wouldn’t be a great way to end it so - it’s not the way to recommission a job.”
Good Morning Britain weekdays from 6am on ITV & ITV Hub
