Clues you might have missed about Buckells being H in Line of Duty

Published: By: Advertisement Did you hear that mass scream from sofas nationwide at around 9:34pm on Sunday? It was the sound of millions of blindsided Line Of Duty viewers exclaiming a single word. And that word was “Buckells?!”. Yes, recurring character DSU Ian Buckells (played by Nigel Boyle) was at last unmasked as the corrupt cop pulling strings on behalf of organised crime.

As Kate Fleming rightly pointed out, she's worked with him a number of times before and he's been right under AC-12's noses this whole time. Actor Nigel Boyle previously teased, during a 2017 interview with Digital Spy, that "there's definitely more to Buckells than meets the eye" – and he sure wasn't wrong!
