'Now we're cooking with gas,' his old boss Ted Hastings would say.' In a new supernatural thriller The Rig, Martin Compston swapped waistcoats and interview rooms of Line Of Duty for a hard hat and an oil platform. It's a part of his heart because his own father used to work on those remote, towering buildings, but filming turned remarkably bad when a big stunt went wrong, as Martin admits with a tense chuckle. 'Yeah, it got a wee bit toasty!' At one point and his character, a quiet yet plucky oil worker named Fulmer, must save the crew from destruction by shooting a flare into a cloud of gas to relight the rig's vital flame. He is catches him in the ensuing explosion. "I was on fire, I'm on fire, and I don't feel a thing," Martin says, wearing protective padding under his burning jacket. "Oh, I can feel this a wee bit," I said. And then, "I can really feel it now!"' Martin did not cry out when the flames reached the skin on his back. 'There's this daft thing as an actor, you keep going until somebody says, "Cut!"' His agony must have been apparent, even though one of the cast members acted to save him. "Guys, this isn't going to be going exactly as expected," Iain Glen [who is the head of the oil rig team] says. They were already on top of it right away.' Martin was shaken, but was he actually hurt?'No.' A bit of a tan!'
