The BBC have today released promotional pictures for first episode of Series Three of Line of Duty starring Daniel Mays.  The series follows the continuing drama of the anti-corruption unit AC-12 as they carry out  investigations into the conduct of police officers. The series also features Adrian Dunbar, Mark Bonnar, Vicky McClure, Martin Compston and Craig Parkinson. The first episode will be broadcast on the 24th of March on BBC Two from 9:00pm to 10:00pm. More promotional pictures and the episode’s synopsis can be found below:

Danny and his team claim they acted in self-defence, but AC-12, led by Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), gather evidence that suggests that this was a deliberate killing. Under interview, Danny confidently rebuts all of AC-12’s accusations that he acted unlawfully, so DC Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) is sent undercover into Danny’s team to find out more.

Ingratiating herself to her new colleagues, Kate is quick to identify tensions and conflict between Danny and his team. But when Kate’s own conduct comes under scrutiny she finds herself sidelined from an armed drugs raid that goes very badly wrong.
