SCOTTISH actor Martin Compston has been spotted filming the latest series of Line of Duty in Belfast.
The Greenock-born star, 36, who plays DS Steve Arnott, was pictured by co-stars Adrian Dunbar and Vicky McClure on the set of the sixth season of the show.
They were filming in Cathedral Quarter in Belfast.
The new series is set a year and a half on from the events of series five and will feature a brand new case for AC-12, focused on an enigmatic detective chief inspector.
It has already been announced Kelly Macdonald will star as the DCI in question – Joanne Davidson – a senior investigating officer on an unsolved murder case.
Other newcomers will include Shalom Brune-Franklin, Perry Fitzpatrick, Andi Osho, and Prasanna Puwanarajah.
The fifth series of the popular police procedural aired last year, with Stephen Graham in the guest lead role as Detective Sergeant John Corbett.
Its final episode drew more than nine million viewers in May, making it the most-watched drama since Mercurio’s Bodyguard, which aired in 2018.
