Scottish actor Martin Compston took to Twitter this evening to thank Line of Duty fans for rapidly selling out an upcoming live event.

'An Audience with AC-12' will see the Greenock born star interviewed live alongside co-stars Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar at Port Glasgow Town Hall on March 19.

Tickets for the one-off event, which is in aid of Ardgowan Hospice, went on sale at 6 pm today.

However, it seems that avid fans of the BBC drama snapped up all available seats within the space of just one minute, completely selling out the show. 

Expressing his gratitude in a Tweet, Compston said: "Jesus Mary Joseph and the wee donkey that sold out in less than a minute.

"Absolutely beaming thank you so much for the support and apologies to anyone who missed out.

"We’re gonna look into streaming it for those reaching out.

"Thanks again gonna be some night!"

We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for that live stream!
