Ted Hastings, Kate Fleming and Steve Arnott were reunited on Tuesday afternoon. Though it was only for 98 seconds rather than their usual hour.
The three main characters of 'Line of Duty' - played by Adrian Dunbar, Vicky McClune and Martin Compston - appeared for a video in aid of the 'Asks For Masks' campaign which is raising money to purchase personal protective equipment for NHS workers.

Hastings delivered with one of his famous lines, "Do you think I came up the Lagan in a bubble?" Though, there wasn't much time to catch bent coppers. The clip was shared by show creator Jed Mercurio.
When is Line of Duty returning?
It is likely to be the most we will see of the Line of Duty characters for quite a while. It was announced last month that due to the Covid-19 emergency, filming of season six of the series was being suspended. Production of the new season had started in Northern Ireland in February.
Season five of the show finished in May of last year with the main mystery still being the identity of 'H', a corrupt police officer who is also head of a crime syndicate.
