Is Ted Hastings Actually a Bent Copper? An Investigation
It s starting to look the corruption-fighter-in-chief might actually be as bent as the rest of them – and it could be his downfall
By Laura Martin BBC/World Productions
Superintendent Edward “Ted” Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) is the bastion of AC-12; the beating heart of the overstretched anti-corruption unit, a man whose life purpose is one thing, and one thing only: uncovering bent coppers. You may have heard him mention it once or twice before. But as we’ve followed our wise-cracking gaffer throughout six series, it has to be said that he’s racked up some pretty dubious behaviour of his own. Is Ted actually guilty of the precise bent-coppery that he claims to be fighting so valiantly?
Line Of Duty series six is set to reach its showstopping finale on Sunday, with AC-12 desperate to solve the mystery of the elusive fourth man, H .
And fans of the hit BBC crime show have stumbled across yet another shock theory that links John Corbett s widow Steph to dodgy Marcus Thurwell - who was presumably found dead in the last episode.
Amid speculation that Thurwell (played by James Nesbitt) is alive and well, Line Of Duty have seemingly found a connection between the characters, with some believing the bent cop in hiding in Steph s (Amy De Bhrún) Attic.
Line Of Duty star James Nesbitt has topped the show s rich list with an eye-watering £11 million.
The actor, who has appeared in just one scene of the police drama as corrupt detective Marcus Thurwell, has set up three individual companies which earn him a tidy sum alongside his array of acting roles.
James isn t the only Line Of Duty who has cashed in through various business ventures, as the show s veteran star Adrian Dunbar, who plays Superintendent Hastings also boasts his own £200,000 fortune.

Line Of Duty fans are waiting with bated breath for the explosive series six finale this Sunday - in which the infamous H is set to be unmasked.
And a new photo from the police drama s finale episode will only heighten speculation the OCG is set to be taken down by AC-12, with DI Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and DS Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) looking tense during a shootout.
The dynamic officers are both clad in bulletproof vests and brandishing guns as they stand on a residential street by a van - with a tense Steve talking into a police radio.
Line Of Duty fans across the nation are waiting in anticipation for the hit BBC show s finale this Sunday, in which it s expected that the elusive H will finally be unveiled.
And star Martin Compston was seen enjoying a low-key shopping spree in London on Tuesday, amid the excitement and endless speculation over how the series will end.
The 36-year-old actor, who plays DI Steve Arnott in the ratings juggernaut, went casual in a grey long-sleeved polo top and black jeans for his outing.
