It has also been revealed that Tully directed the 90 minute final episode.

As they prepare for the last episode of the current series, viewers are expecting to finally find out the truth about ‘H’.

However, actress Rochenda Sandall has hinted that fans might have to wait a little while longer.

During an appearance on This Morning, the Lisa McQueen actress told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: “It will certainly have some form of conclusion but as you’re all aware there’s still another series to go.”

However, Line of Duty isn’t the only show Tully has worked on.
