Line of Duty, the star had an “easy” response.Daniel stars as police officer DS Locke in the new crime drama six-part series.This means the star will be playing a police officer once again, just like his previous role in Line of Duty.As fans will remember, he played Sergeant Danny Waldron in the third season of the BBC drama.Speaking to Express.co.uk and other media during a recent Q&A about the show, the actor compared the two.He was quizzed about the controversial ending to season six of Line of Duty, which had a mixed response from viewers.Daniel was asked: “The ending to this crime drama, was this more satisfying than Line of Duty’s finale?”The actor responded: “That’s easy to answer.“Because I managed to get through all six episodes of Magpie Murders as opposed to just one on Line of Duty.“So I’m firmly in the Magpie Murders camp with that question!”Season six of Line of Duty left viewers split when it aired last May.It featured a revelation about who was the fourth person behind H.However, while some fans loved it, others had expected another twist.Daniel’s series Magpie Murders is now available to watch on BritBox.The crime drama features six episodes, which are all up on the streaming platform.It is based on Anthony Horowitz’ book of the same name.Alongside Daniel, the series also features an all-star cast including Lesley Manville, Conleth Hill and Tim McMullan.The synopsis of the new show reads: “Susan Ryeland (played by Lesley), is an editor who is given an unfinished manuscript that will change her life.”During the same Q&A, Lesley opened up about basing part of her character on Newsnight journalist Emily Maitlis.She said: “I didn’t base it on Emily Maitlis but I’ve always looked at Emily.“I saw her once at

Line Of Duty star Adrian Dunbar looked every inch the doting grandfather as he cradled his granddaughter in his arms.The 63 year old's daughter Madeleine gave birth to her first child in December, and on Saturday 22 January, the new mum took to her Instagram platform to share sweet snaps of her father and daughter together. Adrian, who plays Superintendent Ted Hastings on the BBC police drama, proudly held little Zephyr in his arms as she slept while wearing an AC-12 outfit.

Line Of Duty’s Vicky McClure heads the cast in this new series, which turns the spotlight on the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Unit. The show is produced by Jed Mercurio – the much-lauded writer of Line Of Duty – so with Vicky in the starring role, comparisons are bound to be drawn between the two dramas. However, the actress tells us her character – former soldier Lana Washington – is very different to Line Of Duty ’s Kate Fleming and the series is far more action packed.

Line of Duty fans have been left in stitches as a viral video of the AC12 gang interrogating Boris Johnson has gone viral.The spoof clip, shared by political campaign group Led By Donkeys, shows Kate Flemming, Steve Arnott and their boss Superintendent Ted Hastings quizzing the Prime Minister on allegations of parties during the lockdown.

Line of Duty star is now getting her teeth into meatier roles, despite an early crash-course in the trials and tribulations of rejection.“I was lucky to have spent ten years [at the Television Centre],” the 38-year-old admitted.“[However] it wasn’t in London so it was never a first stop on casting directors’ lists."My upbringing made me feel I wasn’t entitled to anything that comes my way, and I had to manage rejection.”It was a slow start with seven years between her first film, A Room For Romeo Brass (1999) and her second, This Is England (2006), plus a further four years until the subsequent Channel 4 mini-series follow-up.Yet she persevered and now Jed Mercurio, the writer of Line Of Duty and executive producer of bomb squad drama Trigger Point, saw past her lack of silver screen perks to the potential of the actress within.Having seen her stellar performance on Line Of Duty, he has since described her as the woman on top of every casting list in the UK.It's a far cry from her early career in retail, during which she was a shop girl at H Samuel, Boots and Dorothy Perkins.She also worked in an office for eight years, which she now recalls as an essential grounding experience for her.The experiences were all with the ultimate goal in mind - acting.“You do have to have some funds and that’s why I worked, so I could afford to get to London," she admitted during an interview with The Radio Times."I would have to take a day unpaid off work and go to London for auditions.”Speaking of inspiring those from a working class background, she adamantly and defiantly exclaimed; "There’s no reason why they shouldn’t have the same opportunities as everyone else."Now she is switching from the much-loved character of DI Kate Fleming in
