Line Of Duty star Martin Compston has pledged that the show will be back despite being derailed by coronavirus. Bosses had to pause filming the sixth series of Jed Mercurio’s BBC police thriller because of the Covid-19 pandemic. “The waistcoat has been put away,” Compston said of his alter-ego DS Steve Arnott’s distinctive wardrobe.
But he told Good Morning Britain: “The scripts this year … again, they just seem better than ever. “We will be back at some point again to get them finished and I hope they’ll be back bigger and better,” he said.
He added of the cast and crew: “I’m in daily contact with the guys.” The new instalment of the BBC One drama was due to air later this year.
