Line of Duty’s Martin Compston teases extra surprise at the end of tonight’s finale and urges fans to keep watching until the very end
Fans admitted they are 'clock watching' today as they wait for the final episode to air at 9pm
LINE of Duty's Martin Compston has revealed tonight's finale features a surprise ending that has sentimental meaning to the cast - and warned fans not to switch off and miss it.
The 34-year-old actor, who plays Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott, told viewers to stick around until the "very end" in order to see the extra "little something" that show bosses have lined up.
Martin stopped short of revealing what the scene means for the plot or if it will air before or after the final credits roll.
But his orders were clear when he told fans on Sunday: "Hey folks hopefully if your jaws are back up from the floor in time, there’s a little something at the very end of the show which means a lot to the whole @Line_of_duty family.
"Much appreciated if you could stay tuned for it"
His tweet racked up nearly seven thousand likes and hundreds more were delighted with his request
One said: "You are such a tease Martin-like my nerves won’t be in bits by then!!!"
Another wrote: "I’ve bought popcorn....it’s that important. Truly"
One more fan remarked: "Literally clock-watching - hurry up 9.00pm! x"
Earlier on Sunday, Martin also teased that viewers won't discover who H is tonight - and hopes fans won't be disappointed.
He was quizzed about what fans should expect from tonight's feature-length finale and squirmed as he admitted the bent copper might be exposed in series six.
He said on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch: "The show has already been commissioned for another series - but who knows who will make it there.
"I think what makes Jed so good at writing is that there will be a few pay-offs. I hope people won't be disappointed. There will be some things resolved.
"We've got a 90-minute episode. I think it's alright."
