Cast
Main cast AC-12 personnel
- Martin Compston as Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott
- Arnott is a detective sergeant assigned to AC-12, the anti-corruption unit within Central Police. He initially served as an anti-terrorism officer, but was transferred after he refused to collude with his colleagues following the shooting death of an innocent man. During series three, Arnott is accused of being "The Caddy"—a notorious corrupt officer embedded deep within the police force—framed for murder and arrested. He is cleared of all charges.
- Vicky McClure as Detective Sergeant Kate Fleming
- Fleming is an undercover specialist. A consummate professional, Kate is willing to investigate officers inside and outside AC-12. In series two, Kate begins investigating DI Lindsay Denton. Initially a detective constable, she is promoted to detective sergeant at the end of series three. Kate has a son; her ex-husband retains custody.
- Adrian Dunbar as Superintendent Ted Hastings
- Hastings, a superintendent, is the senior investigating officer of AC-12. He personally recruited Arnott, Fleming and Cottan, and has a black-and-white view of the law. In series three, it is revealed that Hastings is a Freemason, which causes both Arnott and Fleming to doubt his commitment to AC-12.
- Craig Parkinson as Detective Inspector Matthew "Dot" Cottan (series 1–3)
- Originally a DS attached to TO-20, Cottan is promoted to DI and transfers to AC-9 at the close of the Tony Gates investigation. During the Lindsey Denton investigation, he transfers to AC-12. Acting as Fleming and Arnott's supervising officer, Cotton oversees numerous anti-corruption investigations, though he is later revealed to be the notorious "Caddy". In series 3, he shoots and kills Lindsay Denton, and is later shot and killed himself.
Main cast AC-12 suspects
- Lennie James as Detective Chief Inspector Anthony "Tony" Gates (series 1)
- As the head of the serious crime unit TO-20, Tony Gates is renowned for returning the best crime figures of any unit in Central Police. It is this reputation, however, that leads AC-12 to his team. Suspected of corruption, Gates faces an internal affairs investigation that adds further complications to his troubled home-life.
- Keeley Hawes as Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton (series 2 & 3)
- Denton organises a convoy to transport a protected witness which is ambushed, resulting in the deaths of all the other police officers. As the only police survivor, Denton is arrested, charged with conspiracy to commit murder. She attempts to convince AC-12 of her innocence and regain her reputation, but eventually receives a life sentence. In series 3, Denton is granted an appeal, and is acquitted on the basis of an improper sexual relationship Arnott had with her while she was being investigated. She discovers crucial evidence pertaining to the Danny Waldron murder investigation and historical child sex abuse but after refusing to accept a bribe to conceal that evidence, she is murdered by "The Caddy".
- Daniel Mays as Sergeant Danny Waldron (series 3)
- Danny and his armed response unit are investigated by AC-12, as a matter of routine, following the shooting of a suspect during an operation. A deeper investigation is initiated when Arnott and Fleming discover the shooting may not have been lawful. Danny is shot and killed by a colleague, and his death results in the opening of an investigation into historic child sex abuse.
- Thandie Newton as Detective Chief Inspector Roseanne "Roz" Huntley (series 4)
- Huntley is the senior investigating officer of Operation Trapdoor and at the centre of an AC-12 investigation for mishandling evidence.
Supporting cast
AC-12 personnel
- Jessica Raine as Detective Constable Georgia Trotman (series 2)
- Assigned to AC-12 following a stint as a patrol officer, Trotman is briefly partnered with Steve Arnott during the initial stages of the Lindsay Denton investigation before being pushed out of a hospital window and killed.
- Polly Walker as Gill Biggeloe (series 3)
- Following the Lindsay Denton investigation, Biggeloe – a Police and Crime Commissioner legal counsellor – is assigned to AC-12 in order to ensure its credibility is maintained. Her presence is disliked by Hastings and Arnott, and numerous conversations imply a "politicisation" of the department by the Police and Crime Commissioner. She later tenders her resignation at the end of Series 3.
- Maya Sondhi as Police Constable Maneet Bindra (series 3 & 4)
- An administrative assistant to AC-12, Maneet is first seen during the Danny Waldron investigation and provides office-based support to the main team. During Series 4 she is shown to be a reluctant informant for ACC Derek Hilton.
- Royce Pierreson as Detective Constable Jamie Desford (series 4)

Production
Series one and two were created and written by Jed Mercurio and produced by World Productions, on behalf of BBC Two. David Caffrey and Douglas Mackinnon directed series one. Mackinnon was retained as director for series two's first three episodes, whilst Daniel Nettheim directed series two's last three episodes. Mercurio produced series one and acted as executive producer for series two, with Peter Norris taking over as producer for series two.
Inspiration
Although the police refused to co-operate with the programme's producers, the production team was advised anonymously by serving officers and by retired police officers. Use was made of anonymous police blogs.[19]
Locations
Series one was filmed in Birmingham (including pub interiors in the Queens Arms)[20] and series two, three and four in Northern Ireland by BBC Northern Ireland. The name of the city is not mentioned. Maps of Birmingham appear on walls and telephone numbers use an 0121 area code, so would indicate Birmingham. The police force referred to in multiple series is the fictional Central Constabulary with the equally fictional East Midlands Constabulary also mentioned. A photo gallery of exterior scenes from series two shows the 4th Street Station on Ormeau Avenue in Belfast.[21]

Censure by Ofcom
Following the complaint of one viewer, the media regulator Ofcom found the BBC had breached Rule 1.28 of the Code in 2012, specifically that there was a "serious lapse" in its duty of care for a 13-year-old actor, Gregory Piper, who had appeared in scenes which were "of a particularly violent nature and included sexually explicit language" by breaching broadcasting rules requiring that "due care must be taken over the physical and emotional welfare and the dignity of people under 18".[22] In its full report, Ofcom cited the programme's failure to involve an independent expert, such as a child psychiatrist, to determine the actor's intellectual and emotional capacity to participate in the controversial scenes and that programme makers had not followed the best practice advice of the BBC's Editorial Policy Unit. However, the regulator found that there was no actual harm, distress or anxiety caused to the child actor.[23]
