The BBC has released a trailer for ‘The Responder‘, a brand new police drama set in Liverpool starring Martin Freeman.
Written by ex-police officer Tony Schumacher, ‘The Responder’ follows Chris (Freeman), a crisis-stricken, morally compromised, unconventional urgent response officer tackling a series of night shifts on the beat in Liverpool. Whilst trying to keep his head above water both personally and professionally, Chris is forced to take on a new rookie partner Rachel (Adelayo Adedayo). Both soon discover that survival in this high pressure, relentless, night-time world will depend on them either helping or destroying each other.
Joining Freeman and Adedayo are Ian Hart (‘Tin Star’, ‘The Last Kingdom’, ‘The Terror’), MyAnna Buring (‘The Salisbury Poisonings’, ‘The Witcher’, ‘Ripper Street’), Kerrie Hayes (‘Tin Star’, ‘The English Game’) and Warren Brown (‘Luther’, ‘Strike Back’). David Bradley (‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Doctor Who’, ‘The Strain’) and Rita Tushingham (‘The Pale Horse’, ‘In The Flesh’) also take on roles alongside newcomers Josh Finan and Emily Fairn.
The five-episode series is produced by Fremantle-backed Dancing Ledge Productions for BBC One and BBC iPlayer. It is directed by Tim Mielants (‘The Terror’, ‘Legion’, ‘Peaky Blinders’) and produced by Rebecca Ferguson (‘The Trial Of Christine Keeler’, ‘Cold Feet’, ‘Next Of Kin’). Laurence Bowen and Chris Carey will executive produce for Dancing Ledge Productions and Mona Qureshi for BBC One.
‘The Responder‘ does not yet have an air date, but will air on BBC One. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add it via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
