Now Greenock born Martin who plays Anti-Corruption Unit Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott in the BBC crime show has made an announcement on his social media to reward us for waiting that little bit longer.

In a fun video which sees him talking to gaffer Superintendent Ted Hastings, played by Adrian Dunbar, he pleads with him for more time.

Ted says: "Regardless of the personell involved Vella is still the highest enquiry engaged in this force. I'm going to need a hell of a lot more before I can authorise a formal enquiry. I need more. Houl yer whisht."

Martin says: "How about an extra episode gaffer?"

Season six will now boast seven rather than six episodes.
