\u201cnothing at all\u201d, as it echoes a comment made by Trigger Point star Adrian Lester in a recent interview with <a href=\"\/\/www.gq-magazine.co.uk\/culture\/article\/trigger-points-cliffhanger&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">GQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his character\u2019s untimely demise in the first episode, Lester appeared to hint that \u20181912\u2019 and other clues coming down the pipeline could later be revealed as \u201cfalse\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWhat\u2019s available to us to read is the first two scripts. And the rest is being worked on \u2013 although you do understand the \u201cbible,\u201d the complete arc of the show. And the storyline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what\u2019s been committed to paper is only really the first two that I read. And yeah, the \u20181912\u2019 is a clue that can be revealed later to be a false clue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lester added: \u201cBut it\u2019s also part of the idea that the person you\u2019re working against, the person preparing these devices and causing disruption, is actually more clever than the people trying to stop them. And that\u2019s what all these little clues add up to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keep checking back here for more updates on the relevance of 1912 as they emerge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trigger Point continues Sundays at 9pm on ITV.
