We were over the moon when Line of Duty returned to our screens last month and the sixth series has well and truly delivered so far. We’ve been completely hooked on all the drama – even if we have needed some help with all those acronyms.

Viewers have been keeping their eyes peeled for all the hidden clues and titbits of information as they desperately try to work out the real identity of the elusive H, but eagle-eyed fans also couldn’t help but notice an awkward gaffe during the latest episode of the BBC drama.

The filming fail took place during a scene with DS Steve Arnott (played by actor Martin Compston) as he headed into a lift to avoid a surprise drugs test, but the surprises didn’t end there as there was an unexpected guest in the elevator.

Yep, what appeared to be a cameraman could be seen in the reflection of the glass. So awks…

Viewers took to social media to point out the error, with one tweeting, “Cameraman spotted on Line of Duty in the lift!”

Even the official Line of Duty account got in on the action, as they cryptically responded, “Or was it…”

Another fan wrote, “Everything ok Steve, you seem to have a tv camera in the lift with you there!”

One more joked, “Was it a cameraman OR was it H colluding with Steve disguised as a cameraman?"

The sixth series of Line of Duty has seen Trainspotting actress Kelly Macdonald join the cast as Detective Chief Inspector Joanne Davidson, who unusual methods at attempting to solve the murder of journalist Gail Vella have raised suspicion over at AC-12, with Detective Inspector Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure), Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott (Martin Compston), and Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) trying to uncover her wrongdoing.

Speaking last year, Line of Duty creator Jed Mercurio said, "We’re honoured that Kelly Macdonald will join Martin, Vicky and Adrian in series six of Line of Duty. DCI Joanne Davidson will prove the most enigmatic adversary AC-12 have ever faced."
