Vicky McClure: 'You can tell the mentality of the bombmaker by the device'

Vicky McClure as Lana Washington in Trigger Point. 

Tense does not even begin to describe the first episode of Trigger Point. The new six-part ITV thriller stars Vicky McClure and Adrian Lester as Lana Washington and Joel Nutkins, who risk their lives on a daily basis as bomb disposal operatives, known as “Expos”.

They are good friends, having served in the military together in Afghanistan. Now they are part of the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad, which we see dealing with a terrorist campaign threatening London at the height of summer. As they try to keep people safe, and work out who is behind the bombings, death is always just a heartbeat away for the Expos.
