Here's Your First Look At The Extra 'Line Of Duty’ Scene For Sport Relief

Remember last month when we told you that Jed Mercurio had a special additional Line Of Duty scene for us in honour of Sport Relief?

Well, we've finally been given a first look at it, and it does not disappoint.

The BBC clip features all of our favourite characters from the series, from DS Steve Arnott (Martin Compston), DI Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar).

In it, the group can be seen interrogating corrupt officer DC Taylor, played by Jason Isaacs.

They have strong suspicions he knows the identity of the true 'H' ...and it's not looking good for DC Taylor, who is being represented by lawyer David Rickman - played by comedian Lee Mack.

"Sorry I'm late, traffic was a nightmare," Mack says as his character barges into the interrogation room in the new clip.

Leaning towards Ted Hastings, the incompetent lawyer then whispers: "Don't say anything, they've got nothing on ya," before realising he was talking to the wrong person.

"I know, I'm the one leading the investigation," Ted replies.

"Right, so...errr you must be the murderer, DC Taylor," he says turning to his client. "Sorry, I don't know why I said murderer. That has not been proved yet".

LOL.

While this teaser has certainly whet our appetites, we'll have to wait until this Friday to see the full scene in all its glory.

Sport Relief - which is filmed in Salford - will include a selection of other witty sketches, including a Killing Eve parody - 'Killing Steves' - as well as Sir Andy Murray and comedian Romesh Ranganathan teaming up for a round of mini golf.

The charity fundraiser will air live on BBC One on Friday at 7pm. There'll be plenty of famous faces, with Alex Scott, Oti Mabuse, Emma Willis, Tom Allen, Maya Jama and Rylan Clark-Neal joining Gary Lineker and Paddy McGuinness on presenting duties.

The Line of Duty sketch comes after BBC released some behind the scenes set pictures recently, as the cast reunited for series 6.

BBC confirmed the next instalment was in the works earlier this month, sharing a picture of Martin Compston, Vicky McClure, Adrian Dunbar and new star Kelly Macdonald (from Boardwalk Empire, The Victim and Giri/Haji).

Historically, Line of Duty has aired every two years, so it's expected the show could drop in Spring 2021.

At least we have the Sport Relief snippet to keep us going!

Sport Relief airs on BBC One on Friday at 7pm.
