Line Of Duty star Adrian Dunbar has teased fans of the show by revealing the first episode of new series will be a ‘head wreck’ that they find ‘shocking’.

Adrian Dunbar who plays Superintendent Ted Hastings on the hit BBC police drama and appeared on The Graham Norton Show last night where he suggested the audience will be given a few surprises by series 6 .

He said: “18 months have passed so the landscape has completely changed.

“We are starting from a place that the audience will probably find a bit shocking at first.

“Things and people have been moved around so the first episode is going to be one of those ‘head-wrecks’ for the audience.”

Adrian, who appeared alongside Vicky McClure, who plays Detective Inspector Kate Fleming, added they hadn’t initially known whether they were even going to receive a second series commission from the hit show.

He said: “It was a slow burn. The first series was great, but we didn’t know we would get a second one.

“Then we got a second one and halfway through that suddenly the numbers built and since then it’s just taken off – it’s big and the anticipation is massive. It’s intense.”
