The Syndicate fans spot sneaky Line of Duty reference in drama starring ‘bent cop’ Neil Morrissey
LINE Of Duty is everywhere at the moment – so much so it even popped up in last night’s episode of The Syndicate.
The BBC lottery drama, which stars the hit cop series’ Neil Morrissey, made a sneaky reference to the show.

Neil starred in Line of Duty as bent cop DC Nigel Morton, who retired from Central Police with a fake leg injury he uses to bag disability benefits.
He also appears on The Syndicate as local newsagent owner Frank who fled to Monaco after stealing a £27 million jackpot from a bunch of kennel workers.
And with the net closing in on him, Gemma came running over to be with her co-workers at the airport.
She yells: “Keeley! I were buying something and the French police came flying in like something out of Line Of Duty.”
