The Leader podcast: Is Trigger Point the new Line of Duty?

Following the success of UK police drama Line of Duty, a new TV show has arrived, promising to shed more light on counter-terror policing.

Trigger Point is a new ITV thriller set in London, following the Metropolitan Police’s bomb disposal unit.

It has been compared with Line of Duty, in part because it features LOD writer Jed Mercurio as producer, and actor Vicky McClure is the main character, who played Kate Fleming in the drama.

We speak with the writer of Trigger Point Daniel Brierley about these comparisons, what the new thriller has to offer, and why we love police dramas in the UK.
