MARTIN Compston is bringing his AC-12 co-stars together in aid of a very special cause that is close to his heart.
Martin, known for his role as DS Steve Arnott in BBC smash hit drama Line of Duty, will reunite with Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar in Port Glasgow Town Hall for a "one off" Q&A on March 19 in aid of Ardgowan Hospice.
They will be joined by the show's creator Jed Mercurio.

Martin has been patron of the Greenock-based hospice since losing his own uncle, Joe Hendry, who was cared for by its compassionate staff around a decade ago.
The Greenock actor, who shot to fame in hit 2002 film Sweet Sixteen, says the hospice was a tower of strength and support and this is the reason why he is so passionate about his role as its patron.
The big-hearted actor has previously said: "Being a patron of the hospice means a hell of a lot of me.
“My uncle Joe Hendry, who was full of life and a well-known character, was cared for by the hospice in his final days.
“I was younger at the time, but I can vividly remember that the care they gave him was first class as they made him as comfortable as possible.”
Since becoming patron, the Line of Duty star has been on a mission to raise as much as possible to help the charity care for other families in his local area experiencing what his family did.
In 2020, Martin purchased the first leaf on the Ardgowan "memory tree" – a special memorial for families to pay tribute to their loved ones.
Martin has raised thousands of pounds for the place of care over the past decade by bringing in big names, such as British music star Example and Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle.
He is now hoping to raise thousands by reuniting with his co-stars for a one-off show which we can give you access to.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
