Line of Duty stars spark new episode rumours as they reunite for night out

LINE of Duty's cast sparked new episode rumours after getting together for a night out.

The acclaimed BBC drama aired on screens from 2012 to 2021, spanning six series.

Leading the ensemble were Martin Compston, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar.

The trio played Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming and Ted Hastings respectively - with fans desperate for more Line of Duty.

In a clip posted by Martin to Instagram, the actors can be seen having fun on a tuktuk ride around London.

Meanwhile, music including Gloria Gaynor's classic "I Will Survive" can be heard playing in the background.

The Scottish actor, 40, captioned his post: "AC12 oot and aboot".

It's a reference to the characters' fictitious police unit, with AC standing for anti-corruption.

The group's get together left fans excited as they wondered what could happen in the future.

One commented: "Ahhh the best trio! Hope to see you all back on our screens as AC-12 one day!"

Another penned: "This better be a video of you lot p*****g about after a long day of shooting season 7..."

A third added: "Please come back ac12."

While a fourth wrote: "Brilliant, hope this means another Line of Duty."

The show began with Martin's character DS Steve Arnott being transferred to AC-12 from the firearms unit.

After his arrival, Steve is partnered up with DC Kate Fleming, a respected undercover officer.

They worked under the supervision of their Superintendent, Ted Hastings.

During its run, Line of Duty also starred the likes of Lennie James, Craig Parkinson, Keeley Hawes, Thandiwe Newton, Will Mellor and Anna Maxwell Martin.

Viewers were divided over the show's final episode, which saw villain "H" finally unmasked.

Could the beloved programme make a return at some point?

Line Of Duty is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
