Line of Duty star Martin Compston has taken to Twitter after enjoying a round of golf with ‘big fella’ and co-star Owen Teale – and he couldn’t resist the temptation to crack a caddy joke.

The Steve Arnott actor posted a picture of himself enjoying a socially distanced game with Owen Teale, who plays chief Inspector Philip Osborne on the hit BBC One show.

‘Amazing to get out on a course on day off with the big fella, no caddy’s of course with Covid…(sic)’ Martin wrote.

It’s a cheeky nod to Line of Duty fans out there – but could it mean more?

The caddy, of course, refers to the bent coppers in cahoots with the Organised Crime Unit (OCG).

We know there are four caddies in operation in the police force, and that three of them have been identified as Dot Cottan, Gill Biggeloe, and Derek Hilton.

Owen’s character Philip has come under suspicion from some viewers, with fans believing he could be the elusive H at the heart of corruption in the service.

Golf clubs have played a part in the series itself this series. Suspicious copper Ian Buckles (Nigel Boyle) has been suspected of being the caddy after viewers spotted a set of clubs in his office.

We’ll have to wait to find out if there’s any truth to the speculation until the end of the series at least.

AC-12 are doing all they can to get to the truth with the longest interrogation scene in the history of the show taking place on Sunday.

THE police watchdog???s anti-corruption unit - the real life AC12 from Line of Duty - have started more than 250 investigations in the last three years. The offences are not investigated by a special squad inside the police, as seen in the popular BBC drama, but by the Independent Office for Police Conduct. PIC SHOWS: Martin Compston as Steve Arnott TRIANGLE NEWS 0203 176 5581 // news@trianglenews.co.uk By Ralph Blackburn With pix THE police watchdog???s anti-corruption unit - the real life AC12 from Line of Duty - have started more than 250 investigations in the last three years. These cover the most serious allegations including abuse of power for sexual gain, perjury, fraud and drugs supply. The offences are not investigated by a special squad inside the police, as seen in the popular BBC drama, but by the Independent Office for Police Conduct. Police forces deal with minor complaints, but more serious allegations get referred to the IOPC. And it has a crack anti-corruption unit to tackle the most complex investigations, which often requires covert investigations.

Meanwhile, millions of fans – including the stars of Gogglebox – struggled to keep things together as they watched Line of Duty’s Ryan Pilkington (Gregory Piper) and Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) turn their guns on each other.

Episode five saw Kate agree to meet Joanne Davidson (Kelly Macdonald) in a secluded car park, with two gunshots ringing out at the end of the episode.

Line of Duty continues on Sunday at 9pm on Sunday.
