Of this phenomenon, two things are true. The first is that all three openly admit they wouldn’t have a tenth of their renown, and ability to greenlight so many solo TV projects, if they weren’t also Jed Mercurio’s chosen three – the leading alumni of the TV ratings juggernaut that was Line of Duty, his police corruption thriller that bowed out after six seasons in 2021, to an audience of 15.79 million, making it the highest rated UK drama since modern records began.
Until today when, finally, there is no need to ask, because the BBC has finally cemented the constant rumours, and confirmed that season seven is on its way. This is undoubtedly an (increasingly rare) good day to be a BBC boss, of the pop-the-cork variety, but is it good news more widely? Of course – no TV writer has been able to keep us on the edge of our seats in the way Mercurio managed through six seeasons of a show that began life as a word-of-mouth sizzler on BBC Two, made household names of its leading trio and a selling point of Mercurio’s readiness to despatch ruthlessly other, bigger guest stars. It’s a rare universe where being Stephen Graham or Daniel Mays isn’t enough to keep you in the credits. Keeley Hawes’ career was transformed with her glow-down as Lindsay Denton, and we all became as fluent in Dunbar’s Irish lyricism – "now we’re sucking diesel" - as in deliberately dense police jargon – "for the tape, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence".
Six years later, and the people have had their way. Contrary to all writers’ rules of leaving them wanting more, Mercurio has been persuaded to break the glass for some emergency inspiration and give his audience what it demands.
The only thing we know for sure is that, as he’s done so masterfully in the past, Mercurio will keep us guessing to the end.
