SCOTS star Martin Compston has updated fans on the possibility of popular BBC series Line of Duty returning for a new series.
Compston starred in the show as Anti-Corruption Unit Detective Inspector Steve Arnott alongside the likes of Vicky McClure (DI Kate Fleming) and Adrian Dunbar (Superintendent Ted Hastings).
The show also featured the likes of Keely Hawes, Kelly MacDonald, Stephen Graham, Craig Parkinson and Lennie James.
Line of Duty first aired back in 2012 and followed Compston, McClure and Dunbar's characters as part of AC-12 trying to oust "bent coppers".
But the BBC series came to an end with series six back in May 2021 with the mysterious "H" finally being unmasked.
The series six finale averaged around 15.39 million viewers, according to The Mirror.

Compston is set to take part in Soccer Aid once again in 2024.
The match, which sees celebrities and sports stars come together to raise money for UNICEF will take place at Stamford Bridge, London, this year.
Soccer Aid 2024 is set to feature the likes of Sam Thompson, Sir Mo Farah, Usain Bolt, Bobby Brazier, Frank Lampard, Paddy McGuinness, Diamond from Gladiators, Robbie Williams, Roman Kemp, Lee Mack, Tommy Furry and Harry Redknapp.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
