Adrian Dunbar has revealed that he would happily return to the role of the AC-12 superintendent for a Line of Duty spin-off, adding that he\u2019s sure it would be \u201cinteresting\u201d.<\/p>\n
When asked about a possible sister series to Line of Duty, Adrian Dunbar told RadioTimes.com<\/a> in an exclusive interview: \u201cA spin-off? Yes, of course!<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ll always be in the market for considering whatever people throw at you. So I mean, that would be interesting. Yes is the answer to that, I suppose.\u201d<\/p>\n The actor, who spoke to The Big RT Interview for his upcoming Channel 5 travel series Adrian Dunbar\u2019s Coastal Ireland, joined the cast of Line of Duty when it first launched in 2012, starring alongside Martin Compston as DS Steve Arnott and Vicky McClure as DC Kate Fleming.<\/p>\n Dunbar stars as Superintendent Ted Hastings, who heads up Anti-Corruption Unit 12 and is responsible for uncovering corruption within the Central Police Force.<\/p>\n While season 6 ended with the identity of H \u2013 a member of the organised crime group who\u2019s a senior rank in the police \u2013 being revealed to be Ian Buckells, Dunbar told Radio Times magazine earlier this year that he thinks Buckells is just \u201cthe patsy\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a scene when we look at each other and think: \u2018Really? This t**t?\u2019 He\u2019s a distraction,\u201d he added.<\/p> As for whether Line of Duty will return for a seventh season, Dunbar hinted last month that there could be some news in the \u201cnext few weeks or couple of months\u201d<\/a> about the show\u2019s future.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean everyone is kind of gunning for it, so yeah. I\u2019m sure the public want it,\u201d he said. \u201cThe story can continue, put it that way. In terms of the story finishing, I think it was a really interesting ending.\u201d<\/p>\n You can read the full interview in Adrian Dunbar\u2019s Big RT Interview which arrives on RadioTimes.com this weekend.
