Vicky McClure’s hit crime thriller series Trigger Point is returning to TV screens tonight. The show, which was described as “ruthlessly tense” by Vogue, follows a bomb disposal squad.
A year and a half after the last season aired, the show is back on ITV this evening at 10pm – so be sure to add it to your schedule.
The new episodes see McClure’s Lana Washington and the team look into a bomb threat that is part of a wider “sinister vendetta”, with someone “targeting individuals and demanding revenge”.

Opening up about the events of season 3, the actor has revealed that viewers will also see Washington deal with the effects of PTSD.
“Because of what she’s faced in [seasons] one and two, we needed to address how she’s dealing with that, how she’s living with the traumas that she’s faced and the people that she’s lost,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.

“PTSD has always been a thing for Lana, but it was very much in the background before. Whereas we bring that to the forefront this time. There was talk of tinnitus, and so we explored that.”
She added: “The characters around her, such as [Kerry Godliman’s Bomb Data Center civilian specialist] Sonya [Reeves], Hassan, and Danny, know she’s facing certain things, but she doesn’t really talk. She’s not an open book.”
McClure also revealed that there is a question of when Lana is “going to explode”, elaborating: “When is she going to have her moment where actually she is either having an outburst or she’s going to accept help? And what does that lead to?”
