If you currently have a large Line of Duty shaped hole in your life, do I have good news for you! High octane drama Trigger Point kicks off tonight with an explosive episode guaranteed to have you hooked.

BBC One The series – which is produced by Jed Mercurio's HTM Television (Bloodlands, Stephen) and written by Daniel Brierley – follows a pair of bomb disposal operatives as they attempt to foil a sophisticated terrorist campaign that threatens the capital.
Focussing on the extraordinary work of the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad, the show is incredibly gripping and hella tense, and will certainly appeal to fans of series like Bodyguard, Line of Duty, and Luther.
