The BBC has released the Line of Duty series 6 trailer as excitement builds for the new series If you’re still rewatching earlier series of Line of Duty on the BBC or on iPlayer, and checking the series website for news, you’ll be pleased to know there’s finally a trailer.

With his new series, Bodyguard doing gangbusters on BBC One right now, Jed Mercurio’s other crime drama, Line of Duty is gearing up for production on its fifth series, according to a tweet by the BBC.

Those of us who have sat through the marvellous Line Of Duty might just find it slightly odd to hear actor Martin Compston – who plays Steve Arnott in the show – when he’s talking in real life. His pitch-perfect English accent disguises his actual Scottish heritage. And it’s his Scottish roots that have brought … >

After a week of worry, it’s with great relief that we learn Steve Arnott is not dead and that his wardrobe of snazzy-backed waistcoats will not have to be distributed among the local charity shops (there’s too many for just one Scope to handle). It’s the biggest Easter miracle since Jesus … >
Wait. Did Steve Arnott just die? I genuinely have no clue, although all his head-blood taking a trip downstairs doesn’t bode well. Were this any other show I’d expect him to appear next week, sat up in a hospital bed, a big bandage wrapped round his head, and a bag of grapes from Ted Hastings … >
Line of Duty doesn’t need to be on TV. Seriously. After a finale last year that not only neatly tied up three seasons of intrigue and corruption, but also blew the doors off the place in one of the best 90 minutes of TV you’ll ever see, the show could’ve packed up. Left on the … >
