Martin Compston teases Line of Duty return as show hits 12-year anniversary

Martin Compston has teased a possible Line of Duty return, as the Scottish actor marked the 12 years since the BBC show first aired.

BBC chiefs shared a montage of clips from the popular series, featuring Martin, 38, and costars, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar.

The caption alongside the montage read: "Mother of God, I love these lot SO MUCH. Ten years ago today, the Dream Team was formed.

"Watch Line of Duty on iPlayer now."

Martin reposted the video and teased a potential return of the show with a leading and cryptic message.

The actor wrote: "Ten years and counting . . . "

Fans were sent into hysteria and flocked to the comments of the video, demanding a new series.

One wrote: "Pease stop teasing and give us the damn show already."

Another posted: "We want them back."

A third commented: "Here's hoping this is the prelude to some sort of announcement today."

Another wrote: "Incredible team. We want more of you, please."

A fifth posted: "Give us a series seven, pure excellence."

While another commented: "Brilliant, loved every series. Please bring it back."

Earlier this month, Glasgow Live reported that Martin had already been teasing a return to AC-12. The TV star hinted that a new season of the hit BBC cop drama could be on the horizon after sharing a photograph of himself, Adrian Dunbar, Vicky McClure and writer Jed Mercurio out together.

He wrote: "Talking tattoo designs".

Fans speculated that the caption could have been a nod to the agreement he and his fellow co-stars would get AC-12 tattoos if the show ever reached 12 million viewers. The show hit that milestone after the season finale - watched by 12.8 million people.

You can catch Martin in Line of Duty on BBC iPlayer. All six series of the show are available for catch-up on the channel.
