The Line of Duty star hinted at the show’s return after the series picked up the NTA for Best Drama.
Martin Compston has hinted at the possible return of Line of Duty after the series won Best Drama at the National Television Awards this evening.
Speaking at a press conference after the BBC One show picked up the win, Compston said, when asked how often he’s asked about Line of Duty’s return: “You know what, I think it’s a great thing.
“As soon as I go out with anybody, they ask me for a selfie and it means people love what we’re doing. It can get repetitive in some ways but I never take that stuff for granted; that means what we’re doing is going well.
“The reaction to the last episode, especially, because it means people are so invested in what we’re doing. And I’ve been doing this for 10 years and the audience keeps getting bigger, people want this to come back and you know, Mr Mercurio, he does everything for a reason, so who knows?” he teased.
Line of Duty is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. Take a look at more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide to see what’s on tonight.
