Line Of Duty season 6 fans voiced their frustration and swore at the screen as the show dropped a huge, agonising cliffhanger at the end of episode four.
Last night’s episode of the smash-hit BBC crime drama (Sunday April 11) was a thrill ride with a tense shoot-out, deaths and plenty of returning characters.
However, just when viewers couldn’t take any more, the show revealed a cliffhanger that frustrated as much as delighted.
And now fans have to wait until next Sunday to find out what’s going to happen.
**WARNING – SPOILERS AHEAD**
