The nuclear submarine drama got off to an explosive start with its first episode… **WARNING: SPOILERS FOR EPISODE ONE** <\/p>
The first episode of new BBC One drama Vigil<\/a> packed a fair few twists and turns into its runtime \u2013 and most of them revolved around Craig Burke, the character played by Martin Compston.<\/p>\n The Line of Duty star was shockingly killed off inside the opening 10 minutes of the series premiere, only to make a surprise reappearance in some video footage just before the credits rolled.<\/p>\n And Compston has teased that one of the things that convinced him to take on the role was that Craig still has \u201cmore to give\u201d even from beyond the grave.<\/p>\n Explaining how he enjoyed being the surprise death \u2013 a fate that has befallen many of his Line of Duty<\/a> co-stars in the past \u2013 he said, \u201cWhat I found especially intriguing was that Burke dies and \u2013 just when you think you\u2019ve seen the last of him \u2013 it turns out that, no, he\u2019s still got more to give and more to say and he\u2019s made it so he hasn\u2019t gone down without a fight.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen he appears back at the end of episode one on the recording, it\u2019s a real \u2018Wow\u2019 moment, I think.\u201d<\/p> Compston has had lots of practise keeping plot twists secret after six seasons of Line of Duty \u2013 and he said he made extra sure not to tell anyone about his character\u2019s death before the episode had aired.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve not told a single soul,\u201d he said. \u201cYou just can\u2019t give these things away \u2013 nobody wants a spoiler, and I wouldn\u2019t want to kill the surprise for anybody. Even my family and people close to me who knew I wasn\u2019t away filming Vigil for very long, I just told them I had a \u2018limited\u2019 role.\u201d<\/p>\n The rest of the series looks set to investigate the circumstances surrounding Craig\u2019s death, and reveal who could have been responsible for his presumed murder, but Compston says he\u2019s as much in the dark as anybody else about where the series will go from here.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a total mystery, and actually I don\u2019t want to know in advance,\u201d he revealed. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to tuning in to watch the rest of Vigil with everyone else.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s great to have catch-up, but I do think that \u2018event telly\u2019 is still a thing, so I\u2019m excited to watch it live each week and find out who or what killed Burke at the same time as everyone else does.\u201d<\/p>\n Vigil continues on BBC One on Monday 30th August at 9pm.
