This weekend sees the start of Line of Duty creator Jed Mercurio\u2019s bomb disposal drama Trigger Point<\/a>, starring Vicky McClure as officer Lana Washington and Adrian Lester (Life, Trauma) as fellow \u2018Expo\u2019 Joel Nutkins.<\/p>\n

A thrilling insight into the world of counter terrorism policing and the workings of the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad, McClure has called the new show an \u201cedge-of-your-seat\u201d drama.<\/p>\n

And for those who can\u2019t wait to get stuck in to the new Sunday night thriller, ITV has released a preview clip.<\/p>\n

In the teaser, McClure\u2019s Lana is seen in full bomb disposal gear, heading for a car while fellow officers stand back.<\/p>\n

Lester\u2019s character, seemingly concerned by her decision to approach, calls after her to no avail.<\/p>\n

When asked what she\u2019s doing, he explains via his radio that his colleague has chosen to perform a manual check of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s incredibly tense as Lana nears the car, moving carefully as she attempts to investigate without making contact.<\/p>\n<p>Dropping to the floor, she uses her torch to look underneath, spotting a wire before the clip cuts.<\/p> <p>In the show, Lana and Joel have a close friendship, having formed a bond when they were both serving in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the upcoming drama, <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/line-of-duty-season-7-release-date\/"\">Line of Duty<\/a> star McClure previously said: \u201cI\u2019ll take any opportunity to work with Jed, not only because he\u2019s a friend, but also because he\u2019s incredible at what he does, and I love the fact that he\u2019s supporting new writers like Daniel [Brierley].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I didn\u2019t need any convincing to say \u2018yes\u2019 \u2013 I knew it was going to be a really fun, interesting and intriguing job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s dynamic, it\u2019s action-packed, it\u2019s full of brilliant characters and it will put you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next explosive situation. I\u2019m really excited for people to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trigger Point stars Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
