For fans of TV drama Line of Duty it will come as no surprise that the new series is due to start later this month.
Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar is taking part in a birthday tribute to the late Belfast actor James Ellis, who played the first major Northern Irish policeman on national television.
Adrian, who returns to TV screens later this month as Supt Ted Hastings in the hit BBC cop drama, is honouring his friend in a series of events to mark what would have been James 90th birthday on Monday.
James, who starred in the BBC s Z Cars as Sgt Bert Lynch in the 1960s when Belfast accents were rarely heard on national TV series, died in March 2014 from a stroke and wanted to be buried in his native city.
