Family's Line of Duty tribute music video gets attention from stars Martin Compston, Vicky Mclure, and Stephen Graham

A family obsessed with Line of Duty have attracted the attention of the BBC cop drama's stars after a video tribute to the show went viral.

The hotly anticipated season finale aired on Sunday night and was watched by a staggering nine million viewers.

Mum Rebecca Harrison, who lives in Rusthall, was suddenly inspired to get out the craft supplies and costumes and make a music video.

The one and a half minute clip features the 35-year-old with husband Phil and two sons Ivo, two, and Naoh, four, dancing to a remix of quotes from Ted Hastings.

So far the video, posted to Twitter, has received 3,900 likes, 513 retweets, and has been commented on 266 times.

Some of those joining the thread are stars of the show including Martin Compston, who plays detective sergeant Steve Arnott.

He shared the clip saying "I’m not really sure what I just watched, but I love it" which was later retweeted by co-star Vicky Mclure.

Later, fellow actor Stephen Graham, who played rogue undercover cop John Corbett, wrote: "Genius!"

Rebecca said: "We have been following Line of Duty since it first came on to BBC Two and we were so looking forward to this series' last episode.

"When I heard the song I could not stop listening to it.

"I felt like doing a dance to it so we raided the craft cupboard to make the H and used an old skiing balaclava and some police costumes."

The mum, who works for South East Today, originally posted the video on a fan page of Facebook but other users liked it so much she shared in on Twitter.

"My phone said that I was getting a lot of notifications and asked if I wanted to filter them, friends were texting me and I realised it was taking off," she added.

The show's creator, strongly denied suggestions that the more seasons have been planned.

"I’m not writing S6 let alone S7", he tweeted.
