The actor revealed as Line Of Duty’s mysterious "H" has said he was "buzzing with excitement" on finding out his character was the talked-about figure.
During Sunday night’s finale of the BBC One series, DCI Ian Buckells, played by Nigel Boyle, was unmasked as crooked police officer H.
Mr Boyle, who grew up in Birmingham, said: "I was buzzing with excitement! I never suspected it because I know how Jed (Mercurio) leads people down the garden path with really good red herrings, so I didn’t really pay too much attention to things like Buckells’ golf clubs etc, but clearly I should have done!”
