Back in 2021, I was obsessed with Line of Duty. Following theories on twitter, having a Whatsapp group with friends to discuss ideas and rewatching episodes. It was perfect escapism.

Then I made this decoration. Shared it with those friends. Put it on an online group and next thing I know, I had orders coming in thick and fast. On Etsy alone, I have now sold over 400 of these. I have no idea how many more at markets or via social media. It even got copied and sold by someone else on Etsy! (Although, they never sold quite as many!)
Earlier this year we visited the film locations. (I still believe the subway scenes are based on where Jed Mercurio used to live in Cannock).

So seeing that the new series will start on January 7th 2027, makes me so happy. I'm planning a rewatch to lead me all the way up until then. And I think it deserves a redesign after all this time.

But for now, the original is available back on Etsy - or order directly from me for slightly cheaper :)
