Just when you thought the race to control the TARDIS couldn't get any more dramatic, the producers of Line of Duty have dropped subtle hints that they might be throwing their hat into the ring.

As the BBC prepares to officially launch its invitation to tender process following Disney's exit, Simon Heath, CEO and creative director of World's Production, revealed to Radio Times that that his team is seriously eyeing up the opportunity.

Known for high-octane bridge thriller like Line of Duty, Bodyguard and Vigil, World Productions could bring a whole new edge to the Hooniverse.

Heath even admitted he already has a secret plan in mind for where he'd like to take the show, if anyone is willing to listen.
