Line of Duty series five DVD 'wrongly put on sale BEFORE tonight's final episode', fans claim

Shoppers who love Line of Duty were torn this weekend as they claimed to have found the DVD of series five on sale 24 hours before the final episode aired on the BBC.

The highly popular police drama has again whipped viewers into a frenzy of theories about who the mysterious 'H' is and who's in charge of the OCG and its explosive (we hope) final episode will air tonight at 9pm.

But supermarket Sainsbury's reportedly gave some fans a shock when a box set of Line of Duty, including tonight's episode, was apparently wrongly put on sale. A standalone series five DVD was said to also be on sale.

Fans tweeted saying they had seen the DVDs for sale on supermarket shelves:

The Line of Duty questions we need answered before next weekend's tense finale  

Line of Duty follows anti-corruption unit AC-12 as they track down corrupt police officers. The series has been on the BBC since 2012 and its fifth series ends tonight when viewers hopefully discover the identity of 'H' - the kingpin of cop corruption and link to the organised crime gang.

We have contacted both Sainsbury's and the DVD distribution company, Acorn Media, for a comment. The DVDs have now been removed from sale until the show has aired.

Line of Duty concludes at 9pm tonight, BBC One.
