"I mean Vicki texted me yesterday ''I'm about to do loads of press for Trigger Point, but I know the only thing I'll be asked is are we about to do Line Of Duty again? And the answer is we don't know.
"We'd love too, because the last time we did it, it was in lockdown.

Whilst another noted: "It was a great programme.
