When Adrian was on the wrong side of of the line

Tonight sees the start of the fifth series of Line of Duty, the crime drama about AC-12 an anti police corruption unit. Playing Ted Hastings the head of the unit is Adrian Dunbar who has been in other shows that have had rather dubious Policemen. Including being a corrupt one in the second series of Ashes to Ashes. Dunbar's character is involved of group of corrupt Copper attempting to pull off an armed robbery but of course it is foiled by the taciturn Gene Hunt as played by Philip Glenister and Adrian character's plays with his life. Earlier series 2 other corrupt officers were played Shaun Evans and Roger Allam now best known as the more morally upright young Morse and his mentor Fred Thursday. The other main role in Ashes to Ashes Alex Drake was played by Keeley Hawes who herself played an officer under suspicion in Line of Duty before being killed off.
