Adrian Dunbar says Line of Duty ‘to return next year' after after frustration of final episode
Dunbar appeared in Jed Mercurio's crime procedural as Superintendent Ted HastingsTed Hastings from 2012 to 2021, and is hopeful the BBC will soon make an announcement about the show returning. 'We're really excited about getting our hands on a Line of Duty script, to see what happens to us,' he told The Times. 'Jed is writing. We've talked to the BBC. 'It is down to the BBC to make an announcement, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that next year we'll be working on a new series. No doubt Jed will think of some interesting twists and turns.' The series, which saw the fictional AC-12 unit tasked with rooting out police corruption, drew to an apparent end after finally revealing the identity of 'H' – the name given to a crooked officer working within the upper echelons of the force. But viewers widely panned the finale, which was watched by a staggering 12.8 million, as 'disappointing'. Dunbar, who starred in the show alongside Martin Compston and Vicky McClure, predicted the backlash as the episode 'robbed us of a huge denouement'. He said: 'When you find out it is this idiot, Buckells, it is so frustrating. There is a scene where the three of us are told who it is, and we look at each other and go, 'What?' We asked Jed to write that scene because we realised how our audience would feel. 'But Jed's point was that police corruption can hang on one cop deciding to ignore one piece of information that comes across his desk.' When the finale aired, former BBC Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore said: 'I'm looking forward to having a conversation with the team about where we go next and what the future of the series might be.' Moore added: 'Addictive event television, Line of Duty has kept the nation guessing for the last seven weeks, so it's no surprise that last night's jaw-dropping finale set a ratings record.' She hailed Mercurio as 'a master of his craft', continuing: 'I would like to congratulate him and the entire cast and crew for delivering such an incredible drama series.' According to The Sun, Mercurio has written most of the storyline for the new episodes, which could air by autumn 2026. A source said: 'This is the news Line of Duty fans have been waiting for since the sixth season left them deflated when it aired back in 2021. 'The BBC almost immediately requested more episodes to continue the story, but the success of the show meant Vicky, Martin and Adrian were instantly snapped up for other projects. 'But after several meetings with Jed [Mercurio, creator and writer] and the production team, they've finally managed to clear space in their calendars next year to commit to making the show.'

Alex Jones had 'no idea' about complaints against Jenas
The One Show's Alex Jones has said she had "no idea" about complaints made against her former co-presenter Jermaine Jenas. The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was removed from the presenting team at BBC's Match Of The Day and The One Show following alleged issues relating to workplace conduct. Before he was sacked in August, Jenas had also been a regular pundit on sports programmes and a presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live. Jones, 48, who co-presented with Jenas on The One Show, told the Big Issue she did not know about the complaints until he had left. She said: "I very much take people on face value. But with JJ [Jenas] I didn't know what was going on. "I had no idea. I thought he was taking extended leave. "The BBC didn't share with me what was going on until they actually dealt with it. And, you know, they did what they thought was right. "If that was my daughter and she felt uncomfortable with someone's behaviour, I hope that whatever company she was working for would deal with it swiftly as well." After being sacked from the BBC, Jenas apologised, saying he had done "nothing illegal" and that "inappropriate messages" sent were "between two consenting adults". Months later, Jenas' wife, Ellie Penfold, announced the couple had split up after 16 years together. In a statement on her Instagram story, Penfold said: "I never imagined I would have to share something so personal with the public, but given the situation, I feel it's necessary. "After 16 years together and 4 wonderful children, Jermaine and I have decided to part ways. "We will remain friends and continue to co-parent." Jenas returned to broadcasting on TalkSport radio in February after the outlet distanced itself from him in the wake of his departure from the BBC. It is not the first time Jones has had a co-presenter leave The One Show with Jason Manford, who joined the programme at the same time as her in August 2010, resigning only three months into the role for sharing sexual internet messages with female fans. Despite co-presenting on the show for a few months, Jones said she is still "really good pals" with Manford.
