Your support makes all the difference.Line of Duty’s Martin Compston, Adrian Dunbar and Vicky McClure want to present their own travel show when the police drama eventually ends.
The three actors star in Jed Mercurio’s crime series as police officers working in a fictional anti-corruption unit, AC-12, in the Midlands.
A sixth series is on its way later this month and there’s no sign of the show coming to an end just yet, but the cast are already speculating about what they could do next when Line of Duty comes to “a complete stop”.
Appearing on That Gaby Roslin Podcast, the trio revealed that they’d been inspired by Dunbar, who plays Ted Hastings, and his recent Channel 5 travel show to make their own.
“When Line Of Duty does come to a complete stop we’d quite like to do a show. We were inspired by Adrian’s travel show,” McClure said.
“We thought Martin can take us to Vegas and Scotland. Adrian can take us to Ireland and Australia, we’d spend a lot of time out there – I’ll bring the guys to Notts.”

Discussing the activities they could take part in in her hometown of Nottingham, McClure, who plays Kate Fleming, continued: “We’ll do loads of stuff. We’ll go on my tram, we’ll go clubbing, we’ll go to Notts city, go to the football, 24-hour Greggs. We can have a lovely time!”
Compston added: “If there are any producers with money out there...” with McClure exclaiming: “We’re ready!”
Line of Duty returns on 21 March with new cast member Shalom Brune-Franklin joining AC-12.
