Trigger Point viewers all say the same thing as they make BBC Line of Duty comparison

EXCLUSIVE: Showtime and Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment have acquired U.S. distribution rights to the Tarik Saleh directed action movie The Contractor starring Hell or High Water stars Chris Pine and Ben Foster.

Line of Duty creator Jed Mercurio has said economic and geographical inequalities have led to a “polarized creative community” within the British TV and film sector.

Vicky McClure said what every Tigger Point viewer was thinking following episode two.

Viewers watching ITV's new crime drama Trigger Point have been left angered after watching its second episode.

ITV’s new action thriller series Trigger Point have spotted a big plot hole in the latest episode and flocked to Twitter to share their thoughts.The series, starring Vicky McClure, Adrian Lester and Mark Stanley, follows Explosives Officer Lana Washington as she attempts to uncover who is behind multiple terrorist attacks.The six part series is made by the creators of Line Of Duty and last week’s episode saw Joel Nutkins, played by Adrian Lester, blown apart.The storyline began as Joel and Lana were called out to counter-terrorism operation in a London housing estate.

He removed the tweet altogether and replaced it with another one, sheepishly confessing: "Ahem…..Seems my last one might have been a little 'too soon'."However, there's one major curveball in this apparent blunder - no-one yet knows whether Adrian's character definitely was killed.Dramatic scenes on last weekend's episode showed Joel looking very worse for wear after a bomb detonated.Co-star Vicky McClure managed to escape the wreckage, but fans feared Adrian's character had not been so lucky.Viewers will have to wait until this Sunday to know the results of the cliff-hanger for certain.Ironically, Adrian had boasted discretion earlier in the month, telling Digital Spy: "I think one of the fun things is that people don't know what's going to happen next."Yet the deleted tweet implies he might have given that away - unless it is all part of a cunning build-up deliberately designed to keep people guessing."Daniel [Brierley]'s script keeps the audience on their toes, drip-feeds the information as all good thrillers should and stays one step ahead of them," Adrian had teased."You have to truly believe that you don't know what's going to happen next and truly believe in the main threat that your characters are facing, otherwise it's boring," he added."You definitely have a feeling that something bad could happen to somebody at some point."Meanwhile, fellow explosives officer Vicky McClure - who plays Lana Washington - revealed that she got into character by wearing the genuine bomb disposal suit that real-life EXPOs don."It just makes everything that bit more authentic," she explained.Unfortunately, she definitely suffered for her art, revealing how challenging it had been to wear during filming in the middle of a

Vicky McClure lit up our screens as DI Kate Fleming on Line of Duty, but is now set to return to our screens as bomb disposal officer Lana Washington in ITV drama Trigger Point. Fans of the show are keen to get to know 38 year old Vicky off-screen as much as they do on – which has led to frantic Google searches to find out who her famous other half is. Vicky is engaged to fellow actor Jonny Owen, 50, and they have been in a relationship for nine years.The pair met in 2013 on the British comedy film Svengali where they played on-screen lovers – and started filming just months after Jonny’s separation from his first wife, Elenor Braines.

The year has already kicked off with so many dramas, why not add another to your list?

Line of Duty actor Adrian Dunbar shared a sweet photo of his granddaughter wearing an AC-12 sleepsuit - and fans went wild.

ITV's newest drama Trigger Point has been accused of being 'ruined' as the first episode aired.

If you've already made your way through the new dramas which arrived shortly into the new year, look no further.

“There was a guy behind the bar in the pub I was in called Danny, who I knew well, so I asked him if he could keep hold of the ring and I’d come back for it the next day.”Jonny then said that he hid the ring in the teabags to avoid being caught out by Vicky. “Fair play to him, he put it in their safe overnight.Then on Christmas Day I put it in among the teabags.”Jonny said he had hoped that Vicky would cry after opening the teabag and finding the ring, but that it was “the complete opposite”, and instead, Vicky found the ring and Jonny simply asked her to marry him. Vicky recently spoke up about a potential return to Line Of Duty, teasing a possible season seven return. The star explained that although she was unaware whether or not the show would continue, she was “game” for any future continuation. She said, in full, during an interview with Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas on The One Show yesterday: “When I get asked about it, you know, it's up to the press what they put as a headline and all I've said, basically is, 'If it goes again, I'm game’.”

Line Of Duty star Adrian Dunbar looked every inch the doting grandfather as he cradled his granddaughter in his arms.The 63 year old's daughter Madeleine gave birth to her first child in December, and on Saturday 22 January, the new mum took to her Instagram platform to share sweet snaps of her father and daughter together. Adrian, who plays Superintendent Ted Hastings on the BBC police drama, proudly held little Zephyr in his arms as she slept while wearing an AC-12 outfit.

Line Of Duty’s Vicky McClure heads the cast in this new series, which turns the spotlight on the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Unit. The show is produced by Jed Mercurio – the much-lauded writer of Line Of Duty – so with Vicky in the starring role, comparisons are bound to be drawn between the two dramas. However, the actress tells us her character – former soldier Lana Washington – is very different to Line Of Duty ’s Kate Fleming and the series is far more action packed.

Despite 2021 being a year full of quarantining and social distancing, the one thing we could rely on to lift our spirits was quality television. From HBO’s Gossip Girl reboot to Amazon’s hit thriller Nine Perfect Strangers, TV lovers were never left bored. As such, expectations for 2022 are even higher, with viewers more eager than ever to be entertained from the comfort of their sofas.

LINE Of Duty star Vicky McClure has hinted she did take part in creating the viral video of the police officers from the show grilling Boris Johnson over the Downing Street parties scandal.

Line Of Duty star Vicky McClure wanted to send a positive message by showing "the real" her on new series Trigger Point.The actress who plays an experience bomb disposal officer called Lana Washington explained how she ditched make-up to make a point as "she is real and human."Discussing her character with Radio Times, she said: “I do feel a slight sense of responsibility. There is so much pressure on people, especially via social media."The 38-year-old wanted to make a positive impact on viewers watching the six-part series.She continued: "I would like to put some kind of message out there, showing people that you don’t really need make-up."I think it’s important to strip things back and be comfortable.

Line of Duty star Vicky McClure has revealed all the cast are "game" for a new series.

VICKY McClure has revealed a stunning new look as a bomb disposal expert in the upcoming drama Trigger Point. Ditching her bra and foundation for the role, Vicky said she wanted to make a statement that “you don’t really need makeup” while playing her new character.

Line of Duty star is now getting her teeth into meatier roles, despite an early crash-course in the trials and tribulations of rejection.“I was lucky to have spent ten years [at the Television Centre],” the 38-year-old admitted.“[However] it wasn’t in London so it was never a first stop on casting directors’ lists."My upbringing made me feel I wasn’t entitled to anything that comes my way, and I had to manage rejection.”It was a slow start with seven years between her first film, A Room For Romeo Brass (1999) and her second, This Is England (2006), plus a further four years until the subsequent Channel 4 mini-series follow-up.Yet she persevered and now Jed Mercurio, the writer of Line Of Duty and executive producer of bomb squad drama Trigger Point, saw past her lack of silver screen perks to the potential of the actress within.Having seen her stellar performance on Line Of Duty, he has since described her as the woman on top of every casting list in the UK.It's a far cry from her early career in retail, during which she was a shop girl at H Samuel, Boots and Dorothy Perkins.She also worked in an office for eight years, which she now recalls as an essential grounding experience for her.The experiences were all with the ultimate goal in mind - acting.“You do have to have some funds and that’s why I worked, so I could afford to get to London," she admitted during an interview with The Radio Times."I would have to take a day unpaid off work and go to London for auditions.”Speaking of inspiring those from a working class background, she adamantly and defiantly exclaimed; "There’s no reason why they shouldn’t have the same opportunities as everyone else."Now she is switching from the much-loved character of DI Kate Fleming in

LINE of Duty’s Vicky McClure has given fanatics of the show hope after dropping a huge clue about the show returning.

Fanatics were soon devastated after its creator, Jed Mercurio, told BBC Breakfast last year that there were “no plans” in the works for a seventh season.
