Vicky McClure on Trigger Point 2
Speaking about the second series, Vicky McClure said “For me it was just a case of elevating what we already had, because you don’t want to stray too far from what people liked about the show first time round. The audience responded well to the world of bomb disposal and it’s something we haven’t seen a lot of on telly, so I was really keen to make sure that we carried on listening to our advisors as much as we could and we tried to keep it as authentic as possible. We are making an explosive drama, but the characters and other elements of the show need to feel believable. The terror threat this series is very complex. It’s not the same one man band that we dealt with last time – it’s a much bigger game being played and the Met and expos find themselves in a long running cat and mouse game, they’re being sent in circles. It’s tense and frustrating and we’ve definitely got more explosives than last year”.
