The upcoming ITV drama sees Vicky McClure take centre stage as a bomb disposal officer - but fans shouldn't expect it to be similar to Line of Duty
December 15, 2021 - 15:08 GMT Eve Crosbie We can't wait to tune in to new ITV drama Trigger Point when it premieres in the New Year. The six-part series will see Vicky McClure take centre stage as a bomb disposal officer named Lana Washington, who is on the verge of a crisis after years at the frontline.The drama is produced by Line of Duty mastermind Jed Mercurio's HTM Television and so has naturally already drawn comparisons to the smash-hit BBC series.
"I can't be worried about taking roles that might feel in a similar world or in a similar vein [to Line of Duty]," she said."I look at Lana and Kate and I don't see them together as the same people at all. They're both very strong women. Very brave and committed. But that's the kind of role I love to take.
Meanwhile, Jed himself teased that the show is actually"very different" from Line of Duty but was keen not to give too much away."We're very proud of our collaboration on Line of Duty, and obviously thrilled with the way in which that series has connected with such a large audience. But I think that the audience will realise that it is a very different piece of work."
