Who is in The Responder cast on BBC alongside Martin Freeman?

BBC’s latest series starring Martin Freeman follows Chris Carson as he tackles five nights as a response officer.

Whilst trying to keep his head above water both personally and professionally, Chris is forced to take on a new work partner, Rachel. Both soon discover that survival in this high pressure, relentless, night-time world will depend on them either helping or destroying each other.

As well as his mental health, his marriage is not doing well. Chris is in real danger of being sucked under.

The series was influenced by writer Tony Schumacher’s previous job as a police responder.

He told the BBC, “I quit the police because, and there’s no getting away from it, I was cracking up in the police force and I had this overwhelming urge to write.”

Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming drama series The Responder.
