Jed Mercurio produces bonus episode of Line of Duty – featuring Boris Johnson

Line of Duty creator Jed Mercurio has produced a bonus episode for fans following the show’s nail-biting finale.

Ted Hastings, Steph Corbett and Steve Arnott face one of their most difficult challenges to date after they came face-to-face with a serial liar in the latest episode.

Questioning the prime minister of Great Britain, Boris Johnson, they delve into his deception around a BYOB party hosted in Downing Street during the height of lockdown.

Hastings concluded that the PM “knowingly and intentionally flouted the rules” because he believes he’s “above the law”.
