MARTIN Compston claims his latest TV show The Rig is far bigger than Line of Duty and admits there are no plans to bring the nation's favourite cop show back.
Compston, 40, has revealed he is thrilled to have reached his biggest audience yet with Amazon Prime Video's supernatural thriller.
The Greenock-born actor is back for a second series of the oil rig tale, which he says is epic in scale compared to the BBC's hit police series.
Compston said: "This is very different to Line of Duty. The Rig is just huge in scale and in its ambition in terms of the audience it can reach. Amazon Prime is available in 270 countries.
"That's not only daunting to think about but makes this the biggest job I've ever had in terms of scope, bigger than Line of Duty. Everything about The Rig is big and bold. I'm just proud to be a part of it." On a potential return to play DI Steve Arnott in the cop classic, which also starred Adrian Dunbar and Vicky McClure, he added: "Genuinely, I find it so heartening that people still want us to come back after all this time.
"Unfortunately, there are no plans for more as far as I know. I would love to work with the guys again.
"Adrian and Vicky are two of my best friends and (writer) Jed Mercurio has been such an essential part of my career.

Proud boss Mark: Forget miss, we wouldn't be here without Scott
PROUD Fraserburgh boss Mark Cowie can't blame striker Scott Barbour for passing up the moment his Highland League outfit had dreamed of. The 85-1 outsiders knew they were coming to Ibrox with only the slimmest of opportunities to cause an upset. But they might have stood a chance had Barbour taken his big moment just before half-time. Pouncing on a mistake by Gers keeper Mason Munn, the club's record scorer with 270 goals couldn't grab the biggest of his career as he dragged wide.

Jacksons to headline UK summer fest
THE Jacksons are set to return to the UK to headline a music festival. The Motown stars - whose hits include Blame It on the Boogie, I Want You Back and Can You Feel It - will top the bill at Guil- fest on Saturday July 5. Only three members of the original line-up - Jackie, 72, Jermaine, 70, and Marlon, 67 - are still alive after Michael died aged 50 in 2009 and Tito died aged 70 last year. Marlon, Jackie and Tito's son Taryll, 49, will perform at the festival in Guildford, Surrey, which sold out last year when it returned for the first time in a decade. Organiser Tony Scott said: \"It is an absolute priv- ilege to have the legendary Jacksons headlining.\" Razorlight will play the main stage on Sunday.
