Line of Duty season six comes to a climax tonight, with millions expected to tune in to find out whether the Gail Vella case will be solved - and whether we’ll learn the identity of ‘H’ – in the finale of season six.

But look out for other situations that have become Line of Duty staples, such as the prolonged beeeeeeeeep noise of the tape recorder, Steve Arnott’s signature waistcoat or DCS Carmichael’s already iconic smirk.

You can play along with our bingo card, or if you’re over the age of 18 and you’re off for the Bank Holiday tomorrow, why not turn it into a drinking game? (Drink responsibly though, as Hastings would advise).
