Speaking about the reaction, the show's creator Jed Mercurio said: "We're thrilled and flattered by the amazing response to this series of Line of Duty.

Speaking about her intense interrogation scenes on BBC Radio 2, actress Anna Maxwell Martin said: "It is quite hard. I became hysterical throughout the whole process giggling the whole time, internally freaking out the whole time. I don’t remember much, oh gosh. I learned one hundred million lines so I blanked it out like a trauma." Meanwhile, fans are certain that they have correctly surmised the real 'H', a senior ranking police officer who is controlling a crime organisation. One person wrote: ""Mark Moffett and Gill Biggelow have set Ted up to make him look like he's H, however going back to series 4 when Roz Huntley was represented by Moffett when Ted questioned her, she made allegations that Ted called her Darling, so is Roz Huntley H?"
